The big news in ratings this week wasn’t another series high for True Blood, the further decline of Defying Gravity, or even the return of Millionaire.

Tonight in the rerun department, we’ve got Barney losing his mojo, just as he gets invited to a Victoria’s Secret party. I’m sure this episode of How I Met Your Mother, “The Yips,” is chock full of Barney-isms. Check it out on CBS at 8 p.m. It’s followed by repeats of Rules of Engagement, Two […]
