How I Met Your Mother: Baby Talk
In all honesty, I have nothing to really say about this episode. Probably not even worth posting this, but just to have something for every episode I'll comment briefly. It was a very blah episode. Not much happened, the joke weren't really that funny, they didn't go over any new or interesting ground. It was a complete throw away as far as I'm concerned. I guess over the course of a 24 episode season there has to be a few throw aways, let just hope it doesn't become the norm. The few highlights, and I'm stretching by calling them highlights, were probably the Jeremy reference and the joke about Lilly not wanting to name her child after problem kids from her school. The Jeremy thing was a little out of character for the show. They don't usually do pop culture references, it was something I would expect from shows like Community, but it worked and got a chuckle out of me. I'm not sure it's a direction I would want the show to go, I like when they do pop culture in the groups discussions, but it was OK here.

I think this post is a complete miss. Yes, the laughs were few, but "Ester" and "You are writing checks my vagina can't cash" were pretty good. The view of parents was very real and funny in a subtle manor. We will need to watch it at a point in the future when you have tried to name a child with a teacher and or have a daughter. Rolling on the floor funny, no, but a reasonable humorous presentation of fatherhood through the eyes of the soon to be father. Yes, it has been done before, and it might even have been done funnier, but they get points for the number of fears they manage to fit into a show. The only time I seen the breath of topics covered in such a short period would be in stand up. I guess that was the failure, too much in one show nothing was fully developed and Ted realization was a one liner that took the whole show to set up. By the way, you Robin & Barney theory got another brick of support.
