The TV Addict has just learned something awesome. Actually, it’s not so much awesome, as legendary. Seriously. For on November 23, not only are HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER fans invited to a very special Thanksgiving-themed episode in which Lily’s estranged father (played by special guest star Chris Elliot) shows up announced and in doing so, allows for us to learn what led to their estrangement three years prior. The episode’s title is… wait for it… “Slapsgiving 2: Revenge of the Slap.” More first look photos of which can be found after the jump.

Since HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER is a repeat tonight, this TV Addict thought now might be a good time as any to fill you in on what hilarity you have to look forward to next week. On November 9th, Barney and Robin’s relationship hit a rough patch. Enter a meddling Lily, who for reasons we’re not entirely sure, devises a plan to break them up. One that involves special guest star Alan Thicke. More photos of which can be found after the jump.

• NBC shows mercy to its low rated sked, picking up COMMUNITY, PARKS AND RECREATION and oh yeah, MERCY for a full season.
• FULL HOUSE’s Jodie Sweetin, ummm… not so sweet.
• Fat suit-up, with this HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER spoiler pic.
• Rather than give CBS your first born personal info so that they may alert you when the NFL delays their Sunday night line-up, may we suggest simply following @cbstweet on twitter.
• They arrive November 3rd, but you can watch the first eight minutes of V right now.
Is Marshall and Lily’s marriage on the rocks? Barney certainly thinks so on the upcoming November 2 episode of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER when HE fantasizes being Lily’s husband. More photos of which can be found after the jump.

THE GOOD: On the news that their favorite Chicago Pizza haunt is closing down, Marshall and Ted decide to acquire the joint’s old Frogger Machine re-live their college days (complete with HIMYM’s trademark flashbacks) fuelled solely on Tantrum! (the original Red Bull) by driving twenty-two hours from New York for one last slice. Both funny and relatable (okay, perhaps not that relatable, although I been known to wait for over an hour and a half for a hot dog from Pink’s (overrated!), a burger from New York’s hallowed Shake Shack (totally worth it!) and a succulent original glazed when Krispy Kreme first came to Canada) Ted and Marshall’s excellent adventure was surprisingly enough the highlight of the episode (Lily, not so much, but more on that later.)

Kids, today’s lesson is how to do what we once believed was impossible… deliver an unfunny episode of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER.
Step #1: Develop a completely implausible and predictable storyline that has Barney brushing up on Robin Scherbatsky 101 with a little help from self-proclaimed expert, Professor Ted. Really? Barney really needs to be taught that ‘Gun Maintenance,’ ‘Hockey,’ and ‘Emperor Penguins,’ are three subjects that can easily distract her? I mean you’d think that three years of friendship and one year of borderline stalking would have already filled him in on those obvious nuggets (Admittedly, the whole penguin thing was bit out of left field, but I digress.)

Good News: Our good FRIEND Matt LeBlanc is making a comeback on Showtime, teaming up with creators David Crane (FRIENDS, THE CLASS) and Jeffrey Klarik (THE CLASS, MAD ABOUT YOU) on a fresh new send-up of the television business entitled EPISODES, a single-camera comedy series about a British couple whose hit UK show is turned into a dumbed-down American sit-com starring LeBlanc (as himself) Bad News: For Central Perk’s James Michael Tyler (Gunther), who mere days ago revealed to the UK Daily Mail that “FRIENDS: THE MOVIE is on.” [Source]
Good News: Last week’s ratings surprises, MODERN FAMILY and COUGAR TOWN return tonight to ABC with brand new episodes. Bad News: The unstoppable ratings juggernaut (and lead-in) that is DANCING WITH THE STARS does not.
Good News: CBS is spinning off one of their most popular shows. Bad News: Signing a deal with executive producer/showrunner Ed Bernero and executive producer Chris Mundy for a CRIMINAL MINDS spin-off. Not, the bizarro version of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER featuring lesbian Robin, stripper Lilly and Mustachio Marshall that we were kinda hoping for. [Source]

Call us crazy, but last night’s two-hour season premiere of HOUSE that had the good doctor (not to mention us viewers) stuck in Mayfield Psychiatric Hospital for what felt like an eternity alongside some very talented guest stars (including Franka Potente, Andre Braugher and Broadway’s Lin-Manuel Miranda) was an epic fail. Okay sure, Laurie now has the pre-requisite ‘Very Special Episode’ for next year’s Emmy reel already in the can. And yes, the show, which does tend to become somewhat repetitious did switch things up from the standard mystery illness of the week. But for our money, last night is not how you start off a season. Personal character journeys that leave supporting favorites such as Cuddy, Chase and Cameron in the wings should be reserved for mid-season or at the very least, sweeps episodes. Not a season opener where viewers have waited very patiently all summer long for the return of their favorite differential diagnosticians.
While Robert Knepper’s ‘King of the Carnival’ certainly piqued our interest, and Claire giving it the ol’ college try had us intrigued, Hiro and Ando’s ‘Dial a Hero’ had us dialing another channel… RIP HEROES.

Rest assured there is a good explanation for the above photo. We swear, Lily Aldrin has made Barney’s dream a reality by taking up the world’s oldest profession in an effort to pay off her Dowistrepla mortgage and massive credit card debt. This being the wacky world of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER — where anything can happen (and usually does) — there just so happens to be a stripper who looks exactly like her (Natch,) One that Barney can’t wait to introduce to the gang on the September 28 episode titled “Double Date.” More first look photos of which can be found after the jump.
