My problem with this episode is I have no confidence that this is the last time Ted pines for Robin either.

The Bracket (imo the single funniest ep), Ten Sessions (imo most sentimental moment) and the first Victoria ep were the first ones I saw and got me to binge it eventually. I totally lucked out on which reruns I caught.

I watched it then too. Found every season had very good episodes and quite a few meh episodes (such is life with 24 episode seasons), but in the later seasons the meh became outright bad.

My list of nominees is now at those two, jynxed's rec of the Pirate King episodes and I've also read Placebo Effect is one of the best.

Watched the first 10 and didn't hate it but Lindsay was the only character I found really funny. I lean much more towards upbeat, warm shows than stuff like AD or even 30 Rock which I like but don't *love* because I appreciate witty jokes but they don't really make me laugh. I'm def trying AD again at some point b/c I…

Will do thanks. Not worried about spoilers because it's like burning the next day's starter to survive an elimination game. I'd have to get hooked on the series in the first place to care about spoilers.

Hey Archer people, so I tried the show a few months back, and it didn't register. Tried again this weekend with the first 7 episodes, then El Secuestro and Lo Scandalo and still found myself barely laughing every couple episodes or so. Not here to bash the show because I genuinely want to like it, but rather looking…

I get your point, but I'll put it this way: Some of these Ted/Robin emotional beats are so identical that you won't have missed a thing if you skip certain ones on a rewatch of the series.

On one hand, the emotional beats in this episode didn't work for me at all. On the other hand, besides the ludicrous floating Robin, that's not this episode's fault but rather the 10 other "Ted gets over Robin" storylines.
Biggest complaint: no Mother again and Ted's inability to get over Robin makes him look less and…

I get the complaints that The Mother is too perfect or too much like Ted. I don't care. I love her, I love Cristin Milioti and the obsession of the creative team to not just let her meet Ted in the season premiere prevented this season from rivaling the first seasons. 2 good ones in a row, let's get a streak going!

Agreed. I saw the grade and thought if Donna gave it a B+ it must be worse than usual but it turned out to be the best one yet and maybe the only one so far that I won't want to fast forward parts of on an eventual rewatch.

I cannot believe that Batman telling a black villain "If you didn't have those tattoos, you could be working at the bank instead of robbing it" got past the censors. Innuendos are one thing, but that????

Young Justice could have fit in with the rest but it is (is, refuse to say was!) done by a whole separate creative team. The DCAU was done by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini while YJ is helmed by Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti. As one of the few who feels YJ>JLU, I still love both and JLU is growing on me when I catch…

This is the real worst line from that interview: "We’ve always had a fantastic plan for Laurel’s character, and I know that there’s impatience out there in the world to see her “strap on the fish nets” [as Black Canary] but everything we’re doing is all about leading up to that in a the way that we feel keeps it the…

I think the only episode worse than this one was Noretta which is easily my least favorite episode of TV ever.

I don't care if SNL goes impression heavy like others do, I just want to laugh and with this I did. Madonna aside, this episode had energy and buzz even if not every joke landed.. As someone who has barely watched lately, this one will have me checking in more often.
Also, Nasim Pedrad killed in the Kimye sketch. Too…

I was thinking the same thing. I miss Abby Elliott.

As someone who just watched the entire run of HIMYM for the first time after seeing a few episodes here and there, I feel the same on 13 episode seasons. I keep notes while watching comedies so I know what to go back to if I rewatch a show and realized HIMYM in its old age could still deliver the goods, just not…

I can't bring myself to watch The Middle because I can't stand Patricia Heaton but Survivor made a huge comeback this year between two great seasons and Shark Tank went from "better than most reality crap" to "legit good" when Mark Cuban became a full time member.
