I agree with VeryFineHat. I loved Barney's backseat confession. I hope it is a turning point for the character. Not so much that he completely quits being the Barney we love, but his character needs to grow and change just as the other characters on the show have grown and changed. Except for Ted. Ted hasn't changed

Ummm . . . I busted on Haley twice in my post and Paul once. Maybe you meant to reply to another post? And I don't think there is anyone on the show named Jason, but I confess to thinking of them in terms of whatever stereotype they are portraying and not by their names, so maybe there is a Jason.

Seriously, why is william still there? (I refuse to use those pretentious periods.) Although, thank the Powers That Be for Jimmy. He is the closest think to a real judge we have on this "I'm OK, you're OK. No wait, you're an ARTIST" crapfest. I loved it when he busted on Jacob last night. Loved it! William seemed to

Great God Almighty,
How I would have loved to have seen Simon back at the judges table last night! Simon, with his magnificent, black t-shirt clad manboobs and acid tongue. How I would have delighted in watching him chew Haley and her horrible voice into a thousand little pieces and regurgitate her all over Paul's

The voting is backward
I never vote, but I would if I were voting for who should go, not who should stay. Hell, I'd pay money to be able to vote Jacob, James, and Haley off the show. WTF are the judges hearing when Haley sings? Cause it damn sure ain't what I'm hearing. Of course, I use the term "judges" very loosely.

The only "Friends" guest characters that I could think of that became a real part of the show were Gunther, and of course, Tom Selleck's character. I believe that he was initially only supposed to be on three or four episodes, but had chemistry with Cox and brought a fresh dynamic to the show so he stayed for an

Best episode of the season
although much like the masturbating monkeys, the other episodes of this season haven't set the bar very high. It's like the writers all decided to show up for work on the same day and write for every character, not just Sheldon. I loved the Amy/Sheldon storyline. I, too, found their

I agree with the review, too. I haven't watched any reality tv, ever, so my knowledge of those kind of shows is limited to what I have seen on "The Soup." In fact, I gave it a B, not so much for the reality show twist, but the Frank storyline was pretty lame. It deserves a solid B just for the sheer number of great

They had me at 2012
This episode started out a little shakey, but any episode that features a stockpile of beer in preparation of the end of the Myan calendar? Well, that's just responsible television. I also strongly identified with "being semi-helpless is half of what keeps families together" statement. Without my

Is this a TV first?
A male television character got a vasectomy!! I can't believe the review didn't mention what a rarity that is. Vasectomies are usually treated as a big "they are going to cut my balls off!" joke on tv shows and then it NEVER happens. I was shocked when the procedure actually took place. I have

I agree that Claire is
becoming too screechy. There's high-strung and then there's shrewish harpy. She's veering into harpy territory. It's a huge credit to Julie Bowen that Claire is as likeable as she is. All that being said, it infuriates -really, really infuriates - me when my husband excitedly tells me something

Meredith, I have to disagree
with you on the Maw Maw as store greeter portion of the show. That was a very funny bit. Not as wonderful as "You owe us both for that" but still very funny. I actually thought the Burt-Deliliah date was the weakest part of the episode. The best part of their "date" was when as Deliliah

Am I a firstie??
Just wanted to say that "Small Potatoes" has always been one of my top five X-files episodes.

Meth
something my body needs anyway - my favorite line of the night, although my pharmacist husband didn't care for it. Another great episode. This season is kicking ass.

Has "Perfect Couples" gotten better? The first episode was so bad, I never went back to it. "Sh#t My Dad Says" is a better use of my half-hour. "Better with You" is far and away the worst sitcom on right now, but the "Perfect Couples" I saw gave it a run for its money. I also can't warm up to "Mike & Molly" and I

I agree. I'd love to at least see a completely women-based episode. Maybe even involving Sheldon's and Leonard's mothers. Those characters are also so much more interesting and funny than their sons.

I thought Sheldon
was nicer last night than he's been in a long time. I also agree the Amy/Sheldon relationship is settling itself nicely. Amy is way more socialized than Sheldon and she'd teaching him about humanity. I also whole-heartedly agree with the poster before me who said if they refigured this show so it

This is no Cougar Town, but . . .
the chemistry between the characters is starting to come together. And, yes, we did learn in the pilot that Heather sets things and people on fire. It's more amusing that laugh out loud funny, but that still provides a pleasant half hour. I appreciate any sitcom that requires viewers

Labine makes me miss "Reaper"
This show was ok. A "C" is an accurate rating. Not every sitcom has to be goundbreaking artform. This one has plenty of room to improve. I, too, loved the brief bit of the clueless trophy wife/mom. I'll give it a few episodes before I pass judgement.

I think this is the best
season of HIMYM and I've been a big fan since the first episode. I thought the phone gimmick was an extremely clever way of moving the Ted-Zoe storyline along. I'm not sure I like Zoe. I guess it's to the writers' credit that I'm still undecided. Usually, when an established ensemble add a new
