How I Met Your Mother: This "Socks"
Hey, did you hear that Heidi and Spencer are going to guest-star as themselves on a January episode of How I Met Your Mother? I guess that's fine. Did you know that Alyson Hannigan, who plays Lily on the show, is pregnant in real life? It's true. Also, somebody at this new site called The Daily Beast thinks HIMYM is "The best show nobody's watching," which is funny because that was true for a long time, but then everyone (ratings-wise) just started watching it a few months ago. Um, hmmm, let's see, what else, what else? Oh, I guess I may as well go ahead and address the elephant in the room...
The only thing that didn't SUCK BALLS about last night's "everybody suddenly wants a baby because of a fucking cute baby sock" episode was the fact that Jason Segel's exasperated boss was THE DAD FROM THE WONDER YEARS:
Everything else sucked. Balls. Marshall isn't ready to have a baby but the actress who plays his wife is pregnant and, like, 4' 11" so guess what, they're getting one, and Robin moved in with Ted "temporarily" because she's the mother. The end.

Agreed. HIMYM has gone downhill so far, and with such rapidity that the disapperance of Stella (finally!) hasn't made it any more watchable. What happened to this show?!?
Score = 0
Also, what happened to Robin's five dogs? Did she kill them one-by-one with the gun in her purse?
Normally, I would point out that Robin can't be the mother because way back in season one when Robin was introduced, Future Ted says, "And that's how I met your Aunt Robin," but, we all know that, to the writers of this show, facts established on prior episodes mean absolutely nothing.
Score = -1
Maybe the un-kennelling of Robin's five dogs will be a hilarious subplot of next week's show. (No.)
Score = 1
They went to live with her aunt in the country (kill me.)
Score = 0
This show used to be amazing, but fell apart sometime last season. I find it hillarious that everyone waited until it was terrible to start watching it.
Score = 0
Even though it's not as good, it still manages to hit some sweet spots (the cheerleader effect, the retarded effect baby socks have on women), and is one of the best things on television (because that's not really saying much).
I don't think Robin will be the mom. I just think they gotta do what they gotta do to keep the episodes going...because once there's a mother, they've met, and there's nomore "how," so they'd have to change the title of the show, and...
Score = 0
Watching this season (and last season) in comparison with the first season is like comparing 30 Rock to Two and a Half Men. They're completely different and even though HIMYM still manages to come up with some funny moments, they aren't nearly as funny as what they used to come up with.
Also, Robin is not the mother. In the pilot episode, Grown-Up Ted tells his kids, "...and that's how I met your aunt Robin." (If she ends up being the mother, this show has more problems than I thought.)
Score = 0
The dogs were sent to Robin's aunt's farm.
