This season has been really lousy for this show. What I liked about it was that it avoided some of the sitcom cliches and was slightly edgy for a show on CBS at 8. Now its just meh.

All that said, the slap bet was awesome.

Season's been okay. Nothing as good as last year (which was incredible), but I've liked the episodes. Of course it's really hard to go more than a few seasons without turning the characters into caricatures.

Good thread, keepitreal. I almost started a thread a few weeks ago on what I'm pretty sure was one of the best-written single episodes of any sitcom since the Seinfeld era.

It was the "how they all met" one with The Vicki Mendoza diagonal (which leads into the horrible Shelly Gillespie zone). The hot-crazy scale. It was genius -- but so were the running gags like eating sandwiches=smoking weed and Ted's sign language.

Some good lines:
Lily:"You're too much tongue guy?"
Ted: "And you're unreasonably small mouth girl?"
Barney: "Worst. Superheroes. Ever."

That's the general idea.

I think this show has actually gotten better this season than ever before, with the exception of last week (the week before slapbet).

I think Marshall and Barney make the show for the most part, with Robin, Lily and Ted just being filler for the rest of the show.

However, I definitely think it's getting better and compared to what's out there it's damn good.

General Idea.

If it hadn't been for the look of insane glee on Marshall's face when he got permission from the commisioner, this episode would've been a waste.

The season is not as good as last but that's only cuz the bar was so high. I still can't see myself missing an episode and it's still one of the best shows on TV.
