I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this. I've been through it myself and haven't experienced it that way, but I've often been accused of a., autism, b., sociopathy, and/or c., having been raised by wolves, so that could explain it.

Ted Mosby, Sex Predator Architect.

"I'm going to miss Sonia's reviews as much as I'll miss the show…"

I wouldn't turn down a happy ending from her myself.

I've always thought that (much like with Hootie) people call Mark McGrath "Sugar Ray" not out of ignorance, but as a deliberate display of disrespect. That said, I remember the time Sugar Ray (by whom I mean Mark McGrath) was a guest judge on American Idol in possibly 2005, and I thought he did great.

Donna's departing to greener pastures? We aren't green enough for her? Stay, Donna, stay! I can be greener!

I'm hoping the big twist is that Zoey is dead.

One of the reasons I hate that whole scene, and this whole mother-might-die song-and-dance routine, is how ineptly it's done. How old is their daughter when that scene takes place—-six? And yet we're to believe that Ted - Ted who, just seconds before, is in the midst of his shaggy-dog-story Ted Mode and giving her a…

I would love any explanation of why the father is Bob Saget, but I agree, they address their father (and act like their mother isn't dead) an awful lot.

Yeah, for the reasons I outlined in a post of my own (discomfort with the poorly executed mother's-death hints from a few episodes ago that we're just supposed to ignore now and laugh at Barney liking curly fries), I didn't like this episode at all…but in terms of construction and craft, this show at its worst is…

Ever since the "Mother Is Dead" theory started picking up steam, I cannot enjoy the new episodes at all. I am becoming what I used to hate: the kind of viewer who just wants an answer to the damn question and can't enjoy the ride. Barney's Blauman-hatred routine may end up as one of the ten funniest things this show…

It's funny - this is what I love the most about HIMYM. Most shows don't have the confidence to build their own world this way and assume that the viewers will buy in, and those that do tend to be insufferable about their mythology, which HIMYM isn't. As a fairly casual viewer (have seen most of the episodes, haven't…

I at least pronounce the name of the movie "Sesevenen".

Savage Love has a title now? This won't end well.

I have no idea what the "it" is supposed to refer to in that passage. Is he saying that Spacey talking about Re-Animator made him feel a deep personal connection with Spacey and his character? If so, why? What a weird comment.

I don't feel orgasm feelings when I poop, but I *do* spooch. No, really, I do. It freaks me out.

I always thought it was funny that FOX simultaneously had two shows with major characters named Eric For(e)man—-Topher Grace on "That '70s Show" and Omar Epps on "House". Then Kurtwood Smith showed up on "House" as the cantankerous father of an intellectually disabled man, or, if you will, "dumbass". And now he and…

I agree! It's not about being "less ambitious"; it's about focusing on what you do well. An excellent episodic series is still excellent; a mediocre serialized series is still mediocre. "House", at its best, was great, but how much better could it have been without the interminable "House runs into a random bully"…

When I read your message and was actually tempted to call Dr. Marnish, I realized that I need to go back into therapy. So thank you.

The fuss seems to be that he's a category-jumper *and* that he plays to tie, which are both effective ways to maximize your chances, but both of which are rare, and which I've never seen someone do both of. I think it's awesome, and a little ironic that some people want their Jeopardy! contestants to know everything…
