HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER First Look: Becki Newton Boards “The Drunk Train”
2012-01-23 20:57:00 If watching actress Becki Newton make questionable decisions as a result of alcohol with a hilarious and talented gay man at her side is something that you’ve been dearly missing from your small screen since the unfortunate demise of UGLY BETTY, well, have we got a few first look photos for you. And while it’s not quite the reunion you (okay, we) have been hoping for (Paging Broadway’s Michael Urie, line one), it may in fact be the next best thing. For starting February 13th, Newton will kick off a multi-episode arc on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER as Quinn, a serious love interest for Barney in what Executive Producer Carter Bays characterizes as “as a big arc and a big story, She’s [Newton] an important player in these character’s.” More first look photos of which can be found after the jump.

What’s more, it remains the youngest skewing show on the Network. 11:05AM: Will HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER follow in LOST’s footsteps by setting an end date? “We’ve talked about it, but it’s not a high priority for us,” admits Carter Bays. “It’s hard for us to say on May 14 two-thousand-and-whatever we’ll officially be out of ideas.” Adds Segel, “We have to say if the Mayans were right also, you might meet the mother on December 21, 2012.” 11:07AM: Fun Fact: Having hit 150 episodes, Lily Aldrin will have surpassed BUFFY’s Willow Rosenberg as Allyson Hannigan’s longest running character.

Yet rather than ad insult to injury by joining what pretty much amounts to the entirety of the internet — which for those keeping track all but reached a consensus at precisely 8:28PM eastern standard time that last night’s performance by Holmes made Britney Spears look talented — we thought we’d focus on the positive that was Neil Patrick Harris and Cobie Smulders.

How I Met Your Mother: "Landmarks"
2011-05-10 03:34:00 How I Met Your Mother adores delivering themes in metaphor form (think back, for just one example, to "Milk," one of the strongest episodes from season one). This can be a double-edged sword. When it works, it's both sensible and sly, a moral that you don't quite see coming. When it doesn't work, when the analogy is too obvious or too forced, the whole story suffocates under the weight of each clunky line that drives the point home....
How I Met Your Mother: "The Perfect Cocktail"
2011-05-03 04:36:00 Future Ted has always emphasized that the story of how he met his wife is also the story of how he became the man he needed to be to meet her. Partly this is out of the writers' need to keep the conceit of a hit show going, partly out of those writers' intrinsic romantic nature. They've always been less interested in the destination of the show's title than in the journey of their five main characters through early adulthood. And, to the extent that those stories have been relatable and the cast engaging, I've mostly shared their preference....
How I Met Your Mother: "The Exploding Meatball Sub"
2011-04-12 03:55:00 The challenge the writers of How I Met Your Mother have faced with the Ted-Zoey relationship - since it's established from the outset that she isn't The Mother - is how to keep it interesting even though we know it's doomed. For a while, that challenge was ably met in the person of Kyle MacLachlan, whose eccentric, cuckolded Captain was more than amusing enough to make up for Zoey's two-dimensional characterization. In "The Exploding Meatball Sub," the show plays on that foreknowledge by exploring why two people can be so drawn to each other, yet so wrong for each other. This was a recurring theme throughout Ted and Robin's relationship, and while the Ted-Zoey pairing can never hope to match...
How I Met Your Mother: "Legendaddy"
2011-03-22 03:49:00 As we all learned in English 101, "plot" is what a story is about, and "theme" is what a story is about. The plot of How I Met Your Mother - a man tells the story of meeting his wife, with plenty of detours - has never been as important as the theme - a group of mid-twenty-somethings grow into the adulthood that makes marriage and parenthood possible. What drives the show is the notion that this process never really ends; there's no finish line clearly marked "GROWN-UP," no certificate you get when all your training is complete. There will always be gaps to fill in, some of them more significant than others.Barney has a bevy of adulthood gaps, and...

Channel Surfing: HOUSE, HEROES, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER & THE BIG BANG TH
2009-09-22 19:18:00 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 Rober...

Countdown to Fall: HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
2009-08-19 20:00:00 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...

Lessons Learned From Last Night’s HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
2009-03-31 19:38:00 1. Not everything aboot about Canada is funny: Look, we’re the first recognize the genius that is Robin Sparkles, and really, who doesn’t love the occasional joke at Canada’s expense. But last night’s observation by Robin that the original inspiration for Lethal Weapon were the fictional Canadian duo of McElroy and LaFleur may have been the hat that broke the proverbial Mountie’s back. Because if you ask us, there is such a thing as one too many jokes at Canada’s expense. 2. It’s about the journey, stupid: Amidst the hilarity that was Barney doing shots in the bar with strangers, you may have missed show-runners Carter Bays and Craig Thomas’ clever use of Robin to voice their inner-monologue, when she waxed poetically to Ted that, “You can’t just jump to the end, the journey is the best part.” In other-words, stop asking about who the mother is. 3. Jason Segal’s dedication to his craft knows no bounds: Or at le...

Random Musings: KNIGHT RIDER, Mena Suvari & HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
2008-10-21 21:53:00 As much as this TV Addict would like to agree with Maureen Ryan’s assertion that the only reason NBC President Ben Silverman picked up KNIGHT RIDER for the entire season is because “KITT has taken over NBC!” I can’t help but feel that a car running a major television network is somewhat ridiculous. Which is why I’d like to take this opportunity to post theTVaddict.com’s very own theory that let’s face it, makes way more sense. Brace yourself… because Ben Silverman is obviously a Cylon and renewing KNIGHT RIDER is all a part of his secret pro-machine agenda.

And again, just to reiterate in case their was some confusion. There are absolutely no lingering feelings of resentment towards one John Kubicek and BuddyTV.com. After-all, it’s not like this TV Addict had a tux on hold, a gift picked out and a limousine reserved. No really, it’s cool. I mean I’m sure spending time with Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Segel, Josh Radnor, Cobie Smulders, Alyson Hannigan, Sarah Chalke and special guest star Jason Jones isn’t nearly as much fun as it seems and that I’ll be just as content witnessing the wedding on CBS tonight at 8:30PM.

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER 2009: Clues You May Have Missed

8 Questions with HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER Showrunner Carter Bays
2008-08-14 21:37:00 Carter Bays, picture right. By all accounts, heading into the fourth season, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER is a well-oiled machine. Should loyal fans expect any changes in order to grow the audience? More guest stars perhaps? Carter Bays: We don’t really think about that stuff. It’s hard enough coming up with funny stories every week. I think we try to tell all the funny stories we can and leave the job of promoting the show to the publicists and the network. And they’ve done a spectacular job. I think our Emmy campaign was great this year even though we didn’t get nominated. But Neil [Nell Patrick Harris] got nominated, which was great. Since you brought up the subject, is the lack of Emmy love for HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER a bone of contention for those involved with the show? Because my theory is that Charlie Sheen and the gang from TWO AND A HALF MEN must have some highly incriminating photos of Emmy voters to score all those nominations year-in-year-out. I take grea...

This is my favorite part of the Q&A:Question: So what do you think happened to Doogie? Did he grow up, buy a Porsche and start a family practice in the suburbs? Neil Patrick Harris: He probably developed an addiction to painkillers and wanders around with a cane at some hospital somewhere... Awesome! NPH may be one of the coolest people ever!

How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM)
2008-06-06 05:51:00 How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM) is a CBS sitcom premiered on September 19, 2005. Created by Craig Thomas and Carter Bays, the show received generally positive reviews. TV Guide gave it the "Editor's Choice" honor in its Fall Preview Issue. Thomas and Bays drew from their friendship in creating the characters, with Ted based loosely on Bays and Marshall and Lily based loosely on Thomas and his wife.Dubbed "A love story in reverse," the show is structured as the main character, Ted, in the year 2030 telling his son and daughter about the events that led to his meeting their mother, which begin in 2005.

Britney Spears Might Return To ?How I Met Your Mother?
2008-06-05 01:29:00 According to Neil Patrick Harris, the "door is open" for Britney Spears to return to How I Met Your Mother. Britney guest starred in two episodes this past season, playing a doctor's office receptionist who is dating Barney, but creepily interested in Ted. "I gave her the address to Ted's apartment at the end of the last episode, so I wouldn't be surprised if she showed up again," said Neil, who plays Barney. Of course, Britney's return is not in Neil's hands. He added, "We would love (guest stars) who get in the show's world to stick around if they want to ... but I don't know what the writers have planned."
