What to Watch Tonight: How I Met Your Mother

I don't know about you, but with all the hoopla surrounding the Olympics and all the reruns, I'm feeling a little ugh about TV these days. Maybe I'm in The Office and Veronica Mars withdrawl, but with the exception of Grey's Anatomy, I've been a bit bored with TV these days. Gasp, I said it!!

But tonight I've something to look forward to. I've recently become a huge fan of How I Met Your Mother. I was intrigued when it first premiered in the fall, but opted to watch Kitchen Confidential instead. C'mon ladies - Doogie Howser vs. Bradley Cooper? Cut me some slack, I'm single. Anyway, when KC was canceled I was more than happy to fill that time slot with HIMYM. And I'm so glad I did. This show is the best part of my Monday's. For those of you who havent' seen the show, here's the basic premise.

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER is a comedy about Ted (Josh Radnor) and how he fell in love. It all starts when Ted's best friend, Marshall (Jason Segal), drops the bombshell that he's going to propose to his long-time girlfriend, Lily (Alyson Hannigan), a kindergarten teacher. At that moment, Ted realizes that he had better get a move on if he too hopes to find true love. Helping him in his quest is Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), a friend with endless, sometimes outrageous opinions, a penchant for suits and a foolproof way to meet women. When Ted meets Robin (Cobie Smulders), he's sure it's love at first sight, but destiny may have something else in store. The series is narrated through flashbacks from the future.

If you haven't checked it out, trust me, it's worth your time. The show is laugh out loud good. And Doogie Howser is STILL as adorable as he was at 11 years old...maybe cuter (only because he's no longer jailbait).

If you check out HIMYM for the first time tonight, let me know what you think?
