How I Met Your Mother

New ep is out, anyone seen it?

I have. It's nothing special.

Well maybe not but it wasn't bad either, or what?

It wasn't bad, certainly. It wasn't amazing either. Just sort of good.

I'm confused though. I thought Robin broke up with Kevin?

She was supposed to, but changed her mind at the last second...

What channel are new episodes shown on? All I seem to see on the channels I watch are reruns. Or not. I can't really tell.

It's on CBS, Monday 8pm Est, in the US... No idea out of country.

*ahem* The Internet...

Hey guys. I don't watch this show regularly, but it seems that every time I accidentally land on it while zapping the episode is very enjoyable. I think I will start binging it officially. Should I begin with season 1 or did the growth of the beard happen later?

Start with S1, definitely. There are quite a few gems hiding in that first season that you'll be loathe to miss.

S1 is plenty good enough to watch.

@Mukora: I don't know what country you're in, but here it shows on CBS and OMNI on Mondays at 8pm.

I'm generally of the opinion one should always start with season 1 of anything, unless there's some reason one can't...

If you can, do so... If not, one cannot skip season 2 without missing out on the beginnings of about half the recurring elements of the show, so start there...

Well, it depends on the show. I wouldn't recommend anyone to start from S1 of classic Doctor Who, but on most shows season 1 is the best place to start.

It usually is the opposite for me. I will give S1 a try.

Is this going to be the last season?

No, there's been confirmation of an eighth season. The creator has said that it's possible that will be the last one, but no official word as yet.

It probably will be. I can't imagine them being able to keep Jason Segel around longer than that.

Hell I'd be more worried about NPH over Jason Segel. And even then, it does make sense that it would end at eight; so far seven really has that feeling of things starting to move on, you know? This is one of those shows that really does need a set ending.

Really? Seems all NPH has going for him are this show and Harold & Kumar...has he been getting cast in other stuff that I haven't noticed?

Well, he did a good job on Glee and hosting the Tony Awards. Also there's everyone's favorite webseries, Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, and if you don't know what that is you should really go watch it because it's brilliant. He even got a role voicing a musical Batman villain on Brave and the Bold. Also he was in The Smurfs, but we try not to talk about that movie.

I've seen Doctor Horrible.

I doubt all of that stacks up against the half-dozen flicks Segel's been in, though, at least from a career potential standpoint.

Yes, but Segal's shown he's able to balance a good movie career with still working on the show, so it's not like he needs to quit the show to take his career to the next stage.

@Mob: Wait. Are they making new entries in Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog?

EDIT: Also, for those that were wondering, I live in 'Murica. So I guess I'll try CBS.

Whedon's exact words on the subject when asked:

"Well the thing you need to understand is, yes."

I think Zack Whedon has said something about them starting once The Avengers is released so that it can have Joss's full attention.
