Just call him Neil Waitforit Birthday Boy Patrick Harris. Oh, goodness. Or don’t, because I am not good at that.
Of course, no one can deliver Waitforits quite like NPH, which is why we celebrate the How I Met Your Mother actor today. (He’s turning 39.) And the best way to honor him? By looking our best! READ FULL STORY »

Okay, I’ll admit that I started humming along to Cat Stevens at the end of last night’s How I Met Your Mother season finale. It was hard to see everyone grow up (Barney & Robin — phew!) and I’m just so darn happy for Marshall and Lily and Waitforit. I rewound to watch the Breakfast Club costumes again. And fine, I’ll even admit to getting a little misty-eyed when Ted drove off into the sunset with Victoria — don’t we all deserve to be happy?
But I’ve got nothing on the girl pictured to the left – an unnamed fan, who in this video, has an uncontrollable reaction to the end of the show’s seventh season, weeping hysterically as the last lines of dialogue roll across the screen.
How did we find this gem? Well, from none other than Barney himself, Neil Patrick Harris, who tweeted her video to the world on Tuesday (he did give her the courtesy of leaving her anonymous, although it’s probably only a matter of time…oh, Internet!). Harris (@actuallyNPH) wrote: “Loving the kind tweets and positive reaction to last night’s HIMYM season finale! Thanks! Here’s my favorite [link].”
We can only hope that she also taped her reaction to finding out he retweeted her. In the meantime, there’s always the over-the-top Twilight enthusiast to keep us company.

It’s taking me forever to think of a way to start this reaction post to tonight’s How I Met Your Mother because I’m pretty sad. Why? Because we have to wait TWO weeks until the next new episode, which also happens to be the season finale. That’s a double bummer. But, you could also subtract one bummer because it’s going to be a one-hour episode. So, now, it’s just a bummer. But a bummer nonetheless.
Have I sufficiently procrastinated getting to this? Probably three sentences ago. Let’s jump into it: READ FULL STORY »

Tonight’s How I Met Your Mother didn’t pack an emotional punch quite like last week. Instead, I felt like this week had a collection smaller poignant moments that will propel us forward into the last batch of new episodes. (Three, to be exact. Tear.)
First and foremost, it was nice to see Robin back on top. After a tough season where she has dealt with some heavy issues (the latest — having to reject Ted’s romantic advance), she needed a time to shine. She got that tonight. READ FULL STORY »

Anyway!
Tonight’s episode was kind of trippy. But in typical HIMYM fashion, an episode’s weight in weird is usually equal to said episode’s sum of revelation. (Take that, Nietzsche!) In this case, Marshall, Barney and Ted examined their life progress using what I’ll call the Trilogy Bar.
Starting in college, Marshall and Ted would get together every three years to watch the Star Wars Trilogy. (Eventually, Barney was added to the mix.) And when they’d do so, they’d imagine what their lives would be like the next time they got together to watch. So through the ups and downs of their lives thus far, we got to see how their goals and visions of the future changed. The difference? When we found ourselves in present day and saw the boys imagine the future, Barney no longer saw himself entertaining a different girl every night. He only wanted to imagine his life with Quinn.

It’s time to cuddle up on the couch and cure that case of the Mondays. What’s your go-to? The coveted 8 p.m. ET power hour (or two in the case of Dancing With the Stars and The Voice) has everything: pretty people scheming on Gossip Girl, rascally teens getting up to no good on The Secret Life of the American Teenager, a newborn on Bones (they’re the cutest!), not to mention the aforementioned reality TV mammoths.
So, pop quiz, PopWatchers: We’re talking live, real-time TV watching. There’s a bomb in your computer, and it will detonate if you don’t tell us where your remote lands on Monday night at 8 p.m.* What do you do? What do you do?! READ FULL STORY »
