Another week of HIMYM and another step in the right direction. I'm pretty sure any episode that has Ranjit in it is worth watching. As much as I felt we've gone over the episodes major subject before, Robin not being a real New Yorker, the episode was funny and continued to push forward many of the story lines we've been following this year. The way the Lilly/Marshall story line was handled in this episode was more along the lines weighty emotional stuff should be handled. Their manic behavior set up many laughs and the somewhat corny conclusion didn't take away from everything else that was going on. The Marshal vs The Machines folk song was genius! The multiple Maury Povich sitings was great as well, especially since it was never explained why. The episode also supplied further evidence that we may be heading towards a Barney-Robin wedding. There has to be more to Barney's action then just being a good friend.
If I had one complaint, I think they may have missed the boat on the ratemyproffesor.com bit. They basically just introduced the topic, made Ted slightly manic about it in such a manor that none of us really cared and solved the dilemma with one line by Marshal. There was more comedy gold to be mined from this subject, but for whatever reason the writers just let it go.
Over all, that's two good episodes in a row. As much as I think they should just tell us who the Mom is and move on, I'm going to have faith in the writers, who seem to be back on the right track, and ride the show to its conclusion.
It was a pretty good episode except for the blatant Bing product placement. I like the not a real New Yorker theme and don't mind the repetition. Robin will never be a New Yorker in the eyes of the gang because that is her item. Friends always have the go to item that is thee regardless of what happens. Is this One tree Hill?
