What a shame. We were really looking forward to seeing you there.

It hasn't been that widely publicized because they've only made a pilot. Seems that he's testing the waters before committing to a series.

While I don't agree that Cheryl was aggravating, (personally always found her hilarious) am glad to see someone else recognizing her value. The usual lack of common sense and blank stare may make her seem stupid, but I think that deep down she's smarter than many of her peers. Unlike everyone else from this current…

Good comeback?

Who said anything about subtlety? Just adding another angle to the conversation.

This may not have been the best episode, but it still felt believable. Especially in New York, people often detour into nonsense just when it seems like they're getting back on track. If anything, it helped highlight Rene's continued success even more. For further analysis:

What struck us most about this episode was how much the group continues to change. Sure Nora and Kevin may be placeholders, but even if/when Barney and Robin do get together things will not be the same. The new baby won't help either. After years of relative stagnancy, it seems like the MacLaren's crew may finally be…

This season is definitely converting us. While the last one had its moments, we ultimately didn't care if it came back or not. After these last four episodes, we don't ever want to see it go. Ben and Kappo's stories especially have become such an honest depiction of what city relationships are like. In a town that's…

The episode may seem like it came down on both sides of the debate, but it was definitely nudging us in one particular direction. If Ted's history (his friends) hadn't kept nagging him on the date, then it might have actually worked out. Yet, as Kevin continues to aptly point out, they're too codependent to ever…

It may have been hard to watch Cam try and find his place in the upper class, but it was also the episode's most important lesson. Without his dinner with Lulu's father, Cam never would've inspired the "Rich Kids" design which ultimately got them in with Nancy. As for Rasta Monsta, we'll somehow never get tired of…

This may not have been the strongest episode, but it felt pretty true to the characters. As usual, Marshall and Lily are leading the charge into adulthood. With the baby's arrival coming closer every week, it's already begun to change the group's dynamics. For more analysis:

This episode may not have been as exciting as the last one, but we actually enjoyed it more. When paired with endless parties, the gang's hustle seems kind of hollow. Watching them all go through their workdays this week was a welcome change. More than anyone, Ben seems to be learning the fastest. Sure he's made some…

The framing device may have been a little funky, but the lesson Robin learned was quite serious. She's now leading her group in a whole new direction toward maturity. For more analysis:

Glad to see someone taking the show as it is rather than tearing it apart for what it's not. What it comes down to is a look at the workings of this trendy LES scene, which we find obnoxious in real life but can't get enough of on the screen. It took Rachel going all the way to Africa and back for this to finally…

Maybe it's because we took a three season break, but we're not quite tired of this yet. The move to New York set Nancy up for some real reflection, and there's evidence here that by the end of the season she actually did it. Will she ever really change? No. Does she deserve an unhappy ending? Not up to any of us to…

This episode indeed has some poignancy to it, (though we don't think it tops Louie) but still, what it also had was a lot to say about fate. In such a big city it seems fateful to run into an ex, when say in a small town this would just be awkward par for the course. Ted is the king of believing in fate so he loves…

It's true that you never can tell until the second episode, but so far this show isn't giving us much to work with. All of the women, primarily Whitney, seem to have absolutely no respect for each other. Why would you stay friends (even viewing friends) with someone like that? For more analysis:

Definitely late to the game here, but thought there was more to the subway episode than you detailed here. Sure it was funny and all that, but Jerry's book-ended monologues set the episode up to have a much larger meaning about the subway's power. For more analysis:

I don't think the show has jumped the shark, far from it. The move to New York was invigorating for everyone involved, though it still isn't enough. New York, Paris, wherever he may go, Larry will always be a notable member of elite society. For more analysis:

This episode did feel a little disjointed, but it still all came back to one theme: winning. As Yari so loudly proclaims, everything is about winning. This could be anything from who got the best dish to who had the best sex to who won the game. New Yorkers can't get enough of it. For more analysis:
