Ratings Clack – Lost premiere is bigger than ever!

(1/12 – 1/18) No. Not really. In fact, it was the lowest rated premiere the show has ever had. Somehow though, ABC managed to massage those numbers so much that they felt ok producing a promo that called it bigger than ever. It’s lipstick on a pig. DVR, streaming, illicit downloads, no matter what spin […]

Is How I Met Your Mother the Holy Grail of sitcoms?

HIMYM’s Barney: To evolve or not to evolve …

Barney Stinson: he’s rude, callous, sexist. He suits up and talks down. He lets the quotes fly and entertains us with his warped view of the world for a half hour each week on How I Met Your Mother. And we love him just the way he is … or do we? As of late, […]

How I Met Your Mother – Read a magazine; everybody does it

(Season 4, Episode 12 – “Benefits” ) Ah, friends with benefits … roommates with benefits … the ol’ college days are coming back to me now. This was the hot topic when you were in your early 20s, but I was a little nervous that this episode would be a bit too immature for the […]
