Recap by jabell and Werewolfbarmitzvah
Hosting his first Thanksgiving, Ted wants to make it memorable by stuffing a turkey with another turkey, calling it a “tur-tur-key-key.” Ted gets up to leave, but Barney tells him not to leave because desperate ladies who’d had a fight with their mom could be coming into the bar. Marshall also tells Ted he doesn’t want to bail early, because he could become “The Blitz.”
“The Blitz” (Jorge Garcia) was their friend who was cursed because back in college every time he left a place early, something amazing happened. Ted says he doesn’t think the curse of The Blitz is real.
The next morning, Ted wakes up to see the apartment trashed, Robin’s face painted like Paul Stanley and Barney and Marshall singing and quoting “The Gentlemen.” Ted doesn’t know what any of this means. Then, he finds Zoey asleep in the bathtub. She wakes up and says, “Hi, Blitz.”
Zoey leaves, again referencing, “The Gentlemen.” Lily explains that after Ted “Blitzed out,” Zoey walked into the bar. They thought of ways to mess with her, but when Lily went to confront Zoey, she recognized Lily as the painter whose paintings she bought online. So they all ended up partying together, and they saw a skateboarding dog. They started playing “Truth or Dare,” and Zoey challenged Marshall to text a picture of his junk to a stranger, which he did.
She then asked anyone to shout out random numbers, and The Blitz (Jorge Garcia) appeared, shouting, “4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 .” These, of course, are Hurley’s lottery winning and possibly cursed numbers on Lost, which also turned up on hatches and just about everywhere. That’s the number she dialed. Ted was shocked that The Blitz was there, but Marshall tells Ted that when he left he “changed the course of Blitz-tory.” The Blitz curse was passed from The Blitz to Ted. The Blitz then announces, “My name’s not Blitz, my name is Steve!” THen he hugs Ted and says, “Thank you, Blitz.”
Ted is still mad that everyone befriended his worst enemy. He reminds Lily of how many people he’s hated for her. Still, he has a tur-tur-key-key to make. He goes to preheat the oven, but it’s broken because Robin danced on its open door the night before.
They also used up all of Ted’s butter greasing up Lily so they could see how far they could slide her down the hall. She reached 4G.
The gang sets out to find another oven. Barney’s isn’t real, Marshall and Lily’s place stinks because there was an explosion at the sewage treatment plant, and Steve keeps his cat litter box in his oven. Lily says there’s one more option: Zoey invited them to her house for Thanksgiving because her husband spends Thanksgiving with his daughter Hannah, and she even invited Ted. He refuses.
They realize that Barney, who was having trouble breathing in the crowded cab, has left and taken his own cab. He’s telling the cab driver the story of how Ted became The Blitz and the cabbie suggests to Barney that he’s now The Blitz because he left the group. He tells him to step on it.
When the gang arrives at Zoey’s building, they tell Barney he just missed an amazing event, where they became part of the Thanksgiving Day parade and Ted sang “Twist and Shout” on one of the floats. Ted confirms for Barney that he is now, in fact, The Blitz.
Zoey answers there door as she and Ted share an icy intro. Marshall is alarmed when he gets a text from the number he’d texted the picture of his junk to. It’s a return “wang,” and Lily calls it a “Boomer-wang.”
Barney has to leave the room, but he’s worried he’ll miss something. Steve assures him he can leave the room, he just can’t leave the building. Barney walks into the kitchen and Steve decided to test the theory by flipping a quarter onto the coffee table, and it stands perfectly on one edge. Barney missed it. Steve apologizes for duping Barney, but says he wants to see cool things.
“I was on that island for what seems like eternity,” Steve says (keep in mind, this is Jorge Garcia, who played Hurley on “Lost”). “I want to enjoy things on the other side.”
Ted and Zoey face off and trade insults, and Ted tells the group she’ll never be friends with her. Robin texts “Wang Guy” to ask him if enemies can become friends. Wang Guy responds by saying yes and quoting Ghandi, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
Ted heads for the kitchen and accidentally bumps into Zoey, spilling cranberry sauce all over her white sweater. Ted refers to Zoey as Cinderella’s evil stepmother. Zoey gets mad and kicks them all out. They leave, but realize that Barney isn’t with them.
We see Barney sitting, dejected, on Zoey’s couch, and she doesn’t notice him while she walks behind the couch and takes her sweater off. Barney doesn’t see this, either.
In the cab on the way home, Lily reveals something she stole from Zoey’s house, a gift to Hannah from Zoey. Ted then remembers references Zoey made to her husband’s daughter and feels bad about his “evil stepmother” comment. He tells them they have to go back.
They’re all sitting at Zoey’s table when she emerges from a room with a new sweater on. Barney let them in, and she reveals that she was walking around half-naked, which Barney missed.
Ted tells Zoey he’s sorry her stepdaughter didn’t want to spend Thanksgiving with her. She admits that Hannah hates her guts. Ted tells Zoey that she might get to spend the next Thanksgiving with Hannah because “people don’t stay enemies forever.” He tells the kids that’s how he and Zoey became friends.
Before they eat, they decide to send a group picture to Wang Guy.
Steve gets up light some candles, and just ask Barney looks away, Steve tips over some books on the mantle, which has a domino effect, knocking over a few more things until a decorative ball falls off the edge of the mantle and hits a cane, which flips a top hat into the air and right into the tur-tur-key-key.
“The gentlemen!” everyone shouts. Barney missed it.
At the end of the night, Barney and Steve head toward the elevator, but Steve turns around because he forgot his jacket. Barney gets inside and he’s followed by an attractive woman in an evening gown. Her dress gets stuck in the elevator doors as they close and we hear it tear, Barney shouts, “Thank you, God!” And Steve is left, saying, “Aww, man!”

By Phil Dunphy on Modern Family´s Halloween Episode:
In this episode, Claire needs the family’s help to run Halloween smoothly at their house. Jay and Manny have fun at Gloria’s expense, and the holiday brings back painful memories for Cameron.
Here´s the context: Next door neighbor tells Phil his wife just left him, and that´s when Phil Dunphy at his best says to the “Mockumentary camera”:
When someone your age dies, what´s the first thing you want to know? Died of what? Right? You wanna hear it´s something that can never happen to you. Well, the same thing is with divorce.

Barney Stinson is one of the funniest characters on TV… and we already told everybody we could about his awesomeness…
But now it´s time to start talking about his legacy:
Barney lives by the “Bro Code”, his own code of rules, which includes a lemon law for blind dates. Despite his overall questionable character, according to creator Craig Thomas, Barney is “a pretty fragile character who’s really afraid of being alone. He just wants people to like him, to be important to people, and to have disciples who follow his word.”
Barney Stinson, during first season´s episode eight, inducted the Blind Dating Lemon Law:
I henceforth declare the following- From this moment on, there shall exists in the world of dating and mating a Lemon Law, which for copyright purposes shall be dubbed “The Barney Law.”
It shall opperate on the following conditions: all persons involved in a mutually decided upon date have exactly 5 minutes from the moment of meeting to decide if the date will procede for the rest of the night or not. Within the first five minutes of coming together (high five!) either party can call the date off for any reason.
As we stated before. It was the 100th episode of How I Met Your Mother. And it was awesome.
It featured Tim Gunn as Barney´s stylist, Stacy Keibler as The Hot Bartender Barney´s trying to pick up, Rachel Bilson as Ted´s date, the first glimpse of the mother, and of course… the musical!
The song: Girls vs Suits.
Did you have the chance to watch it?
Well, here it is.
Video of Barney Stinson and the whole cast of How I Met Your Mother singing Girls Vs Suits:
As anyone who reads this blog may know, I´m a big fan of How I Met Your Mother, and I already posted Lily Aldrin´s 50 reasons to have sex, Barney Stinson´s Best Quotes, and Many other How I Met Your Mother stuff.
Well, last week, when the CBS Fall Preview Show aired, I found myself high fiving the screen…
Here´s why:
Neil Patrick Harris will host the Emmys
In yet another great news from Dr Horrible / Barney Stinson / Doogie Howser As TV Guide said it best:
You don’t have to be Barney Stinson to think this year’s Primetime Emmys will be legendary: Neil Patrick Harris has been tapped to suit up and host the ceremony.
Harris had been eyed by the network as host ever since garnering acclaim and the biggest audience in three years as host of June’s Tony Awards for CBS.
“After having had such a hoot hosting the Tonys, I was thrilled to get the call about the Primetime Emmys,” Harris said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to the challenge of the show — adding my own voice to it, while honoring the nominees and the entire year in television. But which voice to choose? I’m torn between gangsta, foppish Brit, and robot. Really proud of my robot. We’ll see what happens on the night.”
NPH, who hosted last year’s Creative Arts Emmys, will also produce the show.
The actor has earned back-to-back Emmy nominations for his womanizing Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother and looks to be a safe bet to make Thursday’s nomination list.
The 61st Primetime Emmys airs live at 8 pm/ET on Sept. 20.
I just got my DVD from Amazon.com of Dr Horrible´s Sing Along Blog.
It took a couple of weeks to get home, but now I have it…
Well, it´s time to do something.
The awesomeness of Neil Patrick Harris is great and we have him as Barney Stinson week in and week out in How I Met Your Mother, Nathan Fillion´s also great and we´ll have him agains as Richard Castle, since Castle got renewed.
But hey… it´s time for us Blog people, and twitter people, as we already saved Chuck with all the #SaveChuck twitts and posts.

Although CBS hasn´t already renewed How I Met Your Mother for a fifth season. Now, reports say that CBS is going to renew How I Met Your Mother for a new season. So, everything´s good!So, everything´s good for How I Met Your Mother! And After the appearance of Stella Zinman back to How I Met Your Mother, there´s no doubt about a renewal.
How I Met Your Mother is an American situation comedy that premiered on CBS on September 19, 2005. The show was created by Craig Thomas and Carter Bays. As a framing device, the main character, Ted Mosby, in the year 2030 recounts to his son and daughter the events that led to his meeting their mother, which explains the title and allows for a narration in the past tense. How I Met Your Mother’s other main characters are Marshall Eriksen, Robin Scherbatsky, Barney Stinson, and Lily Aldrin.
Season One
In the year 2030, Ted Mosby (voiced by Bob Saget) gathers his daughter and son to tell them the story of how he met their mother.
The story begins in 2005 with Ted (Josh Radnor) as a single, 27-year-old architect living with his two best friends from Wesleyan University (Middletown, Connecticut)[14][15][16], Marshall Eriksen (Jason Segel), a law student, and Lily Aldrin (Alyson Hannigan), a kindergarten teacher, who have been dating for almost nine years when Marshall proposes. Their engagement causes Ted to think about marriage and finding his soul mate, much to the disgust of his friend Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris) whom he met in a bathroom after a night of drinks. Barney is known as a womanizer with an unnamed corporate job. Ted begins his search for his perfect mate. He is introduced to the ambitious young reporter Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders), when Barney plays the game he invented to introduce Ted to women: “Have you met Ted?” Ted quickly falls in love with Robin and thinks about settling down, but Robin isn’t ready. However, the viewers learn that Robin is not the mother when Ted, as he talks to his children, refers to Robin as their “aunt”, not their mother.
As the series progresses, Ted begins dating a baker, Victoria, whom he meets at a wedding, causing Robin to become jealous and realize she does have feelings for him. Victoria moves to Germany for a culinary fellowship, and she and Ted try a long distance relationship. However once Ted learns Robin has feelings for him, he tells her that he has broken up with Victoria and they almost have sex when Victoria calls and Robin answers by mistake. Ted and Victoria then break up, and Robin becomes mad at Ted for a number of episodes, but they eventually make up. Ted gets a call from Love Solutions, the matrimonial company that previously struggled to find a match for him, who have finally found him a match. But Ted decides not to show up for the blind date because he still believes Robin is the one. Meanwhile, Lily begins to wonder if she’s missed any opportunities because of her relationship with Marshall, and decides to pursue an art fellowship in San Francisco, breaking up with Marshall in the process. The season ends with Ted coming back to the apartment the morning after spending the night with Robin for the first time, to find Marshall sitting in the rain with Lily’s engagement ring.
[edit]Season Two
Ted and Robin are finally a couple. A heartbroken Marshall must now go on and try to continue his life without Lily, and he reluctantly begins dating other people. Realizing she is not an artist, Lily returns to New York. She’s reunited with Marshall, and the season culminates in their marriage. Barney loses a “slap bet,” which permits Marshall to slap him in the face five times at any given time in the future, whenever Marshall chooses, which he has done two times through the course of this season. It is revealed that Barney has a gay, black brother (Wayne Brady). Also, Barney takes a trip to California to be a contestant on The Price is Right, in part because he believes that Bob Barker is his father, although he doesn’t actually say so. They eventually find out that Robin was a Canadian teen pop star in the early 90s.
In the season finale, through a series of flashbacks, Barney learns from Ted and Robin that they had been broken up for some time before Marshall and Lily’s wedding. They didn’t tell anyone before because they did not want to take attention away from Marshall and Lily. Ted and Robin agree to stay friends as Ted wants to get married and Robin does not. The season ends with Barney excited at the prospect of Ted and himself being single guys on the town again. The final scene in season two ends with Barney and Ted on the balcony outside Lily and Marshall’s wedding with Barney saying the beginning of, “Legen… wait for it…”
[edit]Season Three
Season three begins with Barney finishing the line he started at the end of season 2, “…dary!” Robin returns from a trip to Argentina, and Ted must adjust to life as just her friend. Marshall and Lily decide to move out on their own, falling in love with a place they can’t afford. Marshall learns of Lily’s bad credit rating due to her compulsive buying. They are able to finally score their dream apartment despite this, only to discover the neighborhood is next to a sewage treatment plant. Coming to terms with this, they later also realize that the apartment’s floor is crooked. Barney is slapped for the third time on Thanksgiving, which Marshall dubs “Slapsgiving.”
It is revealed that the way Ted met “Your Mother” is through a story with her yellow umbrella, which he finds and takes in “No Tomorrow”.Ted attempts to woo Stella (Sarah Chalke), a dermatologist he sees to remove an embarrassing tattoo. This culminates in a memorable “two-minute date,” which incorporates small talk, dinner, a movie, coffee, two cab rides, and a goodnight kiss, all within two minutes. Meanwhile, an unknown woman begins to sabotage Barney’s attempts to hook up. Robin sleeps with Barney after he comforts her following a break-up, which is followed by Ted’s disapproval due to the breaking of the “Bro Code.” After that, Ted decides not to be friends with Barney any more. Barney’s saboteur is revealed to be Abby (Britney Spears), Stella’s receptionist, with a vendetta against Barney for not calling her after they had sex. In the last episode, “Miracles”, Ted and Barney renew their friendship after both are involved in accidents (Ted is in a cab accident and comes out of it without a scratch. Barney is run over by a bus while rushing to find out if Ted’s all right). At the end of the episode, Ted proposes to Stella.[17]
In the episode “Ten Sessions”, Stella reveals that she attended and left a party on St. Patrick’s Day, which may have been the same one Ted attended. Ted told his children that the future mother of his children was at the party, but they had not seen each other.[18]
It is also heavily implied that Barney has feelings for Robin. In the episode “The Goat”, it is revealed that in the following year (when Ted turns 31) Robin will be living in Ted’s apartment.[19] This is confirmed in “Not a Father’s Day.”
[edit]Season Four
The gang continues to mature as they all reach their 30s. Stella says “yes” to Ted’s proposal, but she leaves him at the altar in order to get back together with the father of her child. Ted eventually makes his peace with this over time. Barney struggles with his feelings for Robin. Barney’s company shifts him to the management team of a new acquisition, Goliath National Bank, and Barney in turn gets Marshall a job as in-house counsel and a contract for Ted’s firm to design GNB’s Manhattan headquarters. Marshall eventually realizes with Barney’s help that he must find a unique quirk for around the office so that he will never get fired. He decides to run a fantasy baseball league, like he did in college, making him “Sports Guy”. But, after having to handle $18,000 in cash (which he then nervously walks down the street with), and getting demands from co-workers at all hours, Marshall decides he cannot continue.
Marshall and Lily finally move to their new apartment and struggle over whether or not they’re ready to have children. Lily actually abandons the group and disappears for 4 weeks after hearing a dirty joke from Barney. Robin takes a new job in Japan, but finds it’s even worse than Metro News One and quickly quits and returns to New York for Ted’s wedding. Soon after her return, she becomes roommates with Ted and eventually gets a job as an anchor for a 4:00 A.M. news show. Ted finds out about Barney’s feelings for Robin when Ted and Robin sleep together constantly so they won’t fight over each others bad habits. Relationship tension begins rising between Barney and Robin. Ted finds out Lily has sabotaged all of his relationships with anyone she doesn’t approve of and indirectly may have inspired his breakup with Robin. Robin and Ted end up talking about it, causing their friendship to begin moving towards a positive note.
Ted gets laid off from his design job for GNB, resulting in his founding of his own independant company named “Mosbius Designs”. Ted starts working on his new company from home and hires an intern. The intern ends up getting fired for sleeping with Robin, and immediately is hired by Marshall as a paralegal to take all the legwork of running the baseball fantasy league.
Ted anticipates old age but later comes to understand that the journey is just as much fun as the ending and Barney realizes he is too old to do the same things he did in his 20s. Barney finally sleeps with his 200th woman and, after rubbing it in the face of the childhood bully that taunted him into pursuing it, started to question what the rest of his life would be about now, resulting in him looking up at Robin.
Ted later bumps into Stella at a crosswalk, while carrying a yellow umbrella, leading to a cliffhanger.
Are you happy that How I Met Your Mother gets renewed for a fifth season by CBS? I know I am…
