I think everyone just had incredibly low expectations for Britney. I thought she was really bad. If another actress had auditioned that role the way she played it, they would’ve laughed her out of casting.

As for the episode itself, it was just ok. I wish they would have done a more traditional storyline (at more traditional to this show) because they knew this would be a highly watched episode. I hoped they would have a great episode (like the episode where Lily is in the play, or Robin Sparkles) so maybe they could hold on to some of the viewers that were just hoping for a Britney trainwreck. Then maybe we would have a season four.

*agrees with Tim 100%*

Growing up, we had some family friends that the parents had all been friends with since before I was born. My siblings and I all called them Aunt Vicki & Uncle Don (& they called my parents Aunt & Uncle too). Not unheard of at all. It’s a way to show respect for friends that are like family. Just like Aunt Lily and Uncle Marshall on the show.

And yeah, I assume they had to really cram a bunch of stuff into the episode. I loved it though and hope we do get to see SC back sometime!

“Stella can’t be the mom unless Robin’s dad randomly marries Stella’s mom because I doubt they know each other.”

Wait, you aren’t one of those people that think because he called her “Aunt” Robin that he married her sister, are you?

Also, I don’t think the entire ep would have focused on him, but when the part of the tat removal doc got cut to 1 ep, they needed to cram a lot of stuff into one ep that was going to be over several eps.

I actually think that more episodes should center on Ted and his lovelife, as that is the central theme of the show. Episodes like this prove that they know what they’re doing and they haven’t forgotten.

Oh and I’m bitter with Alyson for not going to Paley so I was okay with less Lily this week.

I loved Sarah just for the part where she came in and saw Ted’s mustache and bust out laughing.

Stella can’t be the mom unless Robin’s dad randomly marries Stella’s mom because I doubt they know each other. And since the show is How I MET Your Mother, wouldn’t it be about the actual moment they met? Maybe. Ted mentioned it in the beginning how meeting Stella was like love at first sight.

Anyway, I did enjoy BritBrit. She was pretty cute when she called Ted “Magnum”. Definitely always want more Barney. I saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall so I had my Marshall fill.

Josh, we definitely can talk about both. I just think the old saying applies [which I'll undoubtely butcher] “The adventure is the journey – not the destination”

But Sarah Chalke is AMAZING and hopefully will be back on the show whenever SCRUBS ends.

Is there anyway Sarah Chalke can leave Scrubs and be on HIMYM instead? I absolutely loved her and Josh Radnor together.

Britney was… eh. I wasn’t terribly impressed. While she can be funny, (see her on SNL or Will & Grace) it seemed like she was trying to be “on” the entire time last night. The only time I laughed was when she chased Ted down the street at the end.
