him and lily this season have yet to make really great tv but we're not even half way thru.

Sadly, with the writer's strike, we probably are.

Robin has been really poorly written this season, IMO. Maybe they were trying to underscore the awkwardness of Robin still being in Ted's circle of friends, but I haven't much liked anything with Robin this season.

Barney, John Cho, and the belt have made season 3 worth watching for me. And Slapsgiving, of course.

Maybe the debate about whether Marshall should've told Barney the time of the slap in advance was the writers' way of saying "Look how tremendously unconventional and brave we are; the comedy of the slap lies in how abrupt and shocking the act is but we're so bold as to tell you weeks in advance and then again in the title of the episode... and we're still gonna make you laugh."

Thoughts?

I could've done without the whole General Apathy and Major Boredom subplot.
Yeah, I threw some Ben Folds Five lyrics in my post. Big whoop. Wanna fight about it?

Some of the writing fails in execution, but it's made up for in the jokes that work. The show's legen

i think the show is fantastic.

this season has been a little mixed, they make ted a little too holier than thou, lilly's shopping addiction was stupid, the voiceover's talking to the kids has to go(-ya kids i banged these four girls it was great).

barney is sublimely good, the hot crazy chick episode was incredible.

Agree with you here, keepitreal. Even the bad episodes of this are better than almost everything else on TV. I do the same thing, I have all of season 3 on my DVR, and actually just watched "How I Met Everyone Else" again today, which is one of the greatest episodes of anything, ever.

While I agree the season hasn't been as strong as last, A few of my favorite episodes did occur. Top of the list would have to be the "tricycle" episode.

*LAUGH* THE TRICYCLE! How can I forget that episode like two months after it's aired? I think my favorite part of that one was the "real" story between Barney and his shot at the belt.

I don't think this show airs over here, but someone sent me this clip and its awesome

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Qh8GaehEA7U

The best part of that episode is when he's playing the most random casino game with the Chinese. There were cards, dice, tiles, and jelly beans involved if I remember correctly. I can't find the clip though.

Yeah i just realised now that i linked the completely wrong clip, the one i linked wasn't even funny! The clip we're talking about got taken down by 20CF. [censored]......
