How I Met Your Mother: Cleaning House

     Well, it looks like we may be in for a melodramatic season from the HIMYM folks.  This weeks episode was more consistently funny then last week, but still seemed a little heavy on the emotional stuff.  There was no Sir Walter Dibs like scene that had me in stitches, but I was chuckling more through out the whole episode.  Let's be honest, from the very beginning this show should have been called, Life With Barney, or something to that effect, because the show is at it's strongest when Barney is carrying it.  The rest of the characters all have their moments and are a strong supporting cast, but nothing is funnier then Barney.  As easy as race jokes can be, there was something hilarious about Barney's delusion that he had found his father.  Do we want to know Ted's future wife is?  Yes.  Do we want to follow the ups and downs of the Marshal Lilly relationship?  Yes.  Do we want to know what the future has in store and still what secrets there may lie in Robin's past?  Sure.  But what we really tune in for week after week is Barney.  As long as he's bringing the funny week after week, I'll keep watching.
