In our continued effort to save you money during these tumultuous economic times comes your chance to win one of this TV Addict’s all-time favorite comedies: HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER: SEASON 4 on DVD.
To enter to win this Emmy-Nominated season on DVD, simply let us know in the comments what your initial reaction was when you heard the news that Neil Patrick Harris had been robbed of his much-deserved Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Emmy to (we can barely even type this) TWO AND A HALF MEN’s Jon Cryer (Oh and for the sake of the children, please keep it family friendly!)

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.

I took four seasons (and arguably a little help from time-slot lead-in THE BIG BANG THEORY) but audiences (and best of all, the Emmy nominating committee) finally discovered what this TV Addict has known for years now: HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER = Awesome! What’s more, it’s about to get even awesomer (and yes, if Barney uses it, it is in fact a word!) “For a long time the mother was in this big vast ocean of New York City and we ended the season with Ted teaching at Columbia University,” teased executive producer Craig Thomas in a recent interview with EW’s Michael Ausiello. “Having Ted literally in the same room as the mother has added a great suspense element in the writing,” And speaking of suspense, what about the relationship fans have really been buzzing about all summer long, that of Robin and Barney, whose will-they-or-won’t-they status was left somewhat up the air after last spring’s finale. Well, judging from a third episode spoiler that has Barney taking classes in “Robin 101″ from Ted (Robin’s ex), we’re fairly confident in saying that “Robney” (or is it “Barbin?”) are going strong. Which yeah, we’re just gonna say, is kinda legen… wait for it… dary.
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER returns to CBS on Monday, September 21 at 8PM. (E! in Canada)
WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
GOSSIP GIRL (8PM CW)
After a brief detour into a GG-glamorized vision of the ’80s, Serena and Co. are graduating from high school — but not before they try to finally smoke out the titular blogger who has plagued them for two whole seasons. Like many past seasons of Josh Schwartz’s other drama chronicling the rich and beautiful, everything is wrapped-up nice and pretty in the finale, complete with tantalizing setup for next season to top it off. Grade: B+ — Aleks Chan
24 (8PM FOX, Global in Canada)
If you’re the type of person who reads the last chapter of the book first just to make sure your favorite character makes it out alive, then you’ll probably enjoy this just posted item on Watch with Kristin. If you’re not that type of person, well, we hope that you have enough self control to not click here. And, we’re sorry!
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER (8:30PM CBS, E! in Canada)

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER (8:30PM CBS, E! in Canada)
Barney thinks he can talk his way out of a speeding ticket, This we gotta see as you would not believe how often the boys in blue don’t consider rushing home to catch an episode of LOST as a valid excuse for going a wee bit over the speeding limit. Seriously, what is up with that!?

While I’m not ready to see PRISON BREAK come to an end this Friday, I am ready to find out what goes down. Please tell me that my favorite band of [prison] breakers do not end up right back where they started (read: prison) — LincLover
The TV Addict: If I were to tell you that your favorite band of [prison] breakers don’t end up right back where they started…. well, I’d be lying. Because the fact of the matter is, at least one of your favorite Fox River inmates does in fact return from whence he came. But before you start to put your very own Michael Scofield strategy in motion in an effort to break he-or-they-who-shall-not-be-named out of prison (again!), you should probably take solace in the fact that things could end up a lot worse. After-all, Friday’s finale does offer up its fair share of shocking deaths, which we’re fairly certain is a far worse fate than five-to-ten in Fox River, right?
So excited to meet young Lily Rhodes on tonight’s GOSSIP GIRL flashback, any scoop on the episode? — Stuckinthe80s
The TV Addict: First, the bad news. With half the episode dedicated to GOSSIP GIRL’s modern day prom (more on that later), we didn’t get to spend nearly as much time in the 80’s as this TV Addict would have liked. That said, the good news is that fans of VERONICA MARS will be right at home in Lily’s world; With the episode not only opening with a nice, albeit possibly very unintentional shout-out to Neptune, but very exciting performances courtesy of MARS alum Krysten Ritter (playing Lily’s sister Carol Rhodes) and Ryan Hansen (playing the object of Ritter’s affection). With the even better news being that Lily’s story is most definitely compelling enough to have us asking, “What happens next?” and as an added bonus, the supportive sister vibe between Brittany Snow’s Lily and Krysten Ritter’s Carol may just be the ideal PRIVILEGED replacement should Sage and Rose not see a second season.
Any news on where Max and Casey are headed on GREEK? I’m worried! — TeamCappie
The TV Addict: You should be, because on tonight’s episode Max is made an offer he can’t refuse, putting the opposite attraction that is Max and Casey on hold for at least a month.

THE BIG BANG THEORY (8PM CBS, CTV in Canada)
Ugly Betty’s first beau, Kevin Sussman decides to step up his game and romance Penny.
CHUCK (8PM NBC, CityTV in Canada)
If CHUCK does get the ax, it certainly won’t be due to a lack of promotable guest stars. Tonight, Chuck looks to his double-crossing ex-girlfriend Jill (Jordana Brewster) to help rescue his father (Scott Bakula) who has been abducted by Fulcrum forces (Chevy Chase). Meanwhile, at the Buy More, the nerd herd tries to derail a corporate evaluation supervised by Emmett (ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT’s Tony Hale)

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING:
THE BIG BANG THEORY (8PM CBS, CTV in Canada)
Considering tonight’s episode is called “The Dead Hooker Juxtaposition” we’d say there’s a 50/50 chance that the purported rivalry between Penny and the new girl in the building is not going to end well.

GOSSIP GIRL (8PM CW)
After years of wondering how on earth a seemingly unemployed musician can afford to send two kids to one of New York’s most prestigious private school, do the GOSSIP GIRL writers seriously expect us to buy tonight’s plot that has Rufus worrying about how he’s going to be able to afford to send Dan to Yale. Really?
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER (8:30PM CBS, E! in Canada)
Ted’s list of “things the gang’s too old to do” prompts Barney to attempt everything on the list within 24 hours to prove Ted wrong. Wait until he finds out that on the top of that list is “attempt everything on a random list within 24 hours to prove a point.”
