How I Met Your Mother- Showdown

I just have to say I love this show. I really do love it. It is rare to have a traditional sitcom these days be funny, but they pull it off. I think it is just as witty as early years Gilmore Girls. I really can't help but smile when I watch it. The same can not be said for it's neighbor show Two and a half men- the fact that it is the number one comedy makes me sick. But on with the good stuff.

In this episode it is a couple weeks before Marshall and Lily's wedding and they are being challenged to sleep away from each other until the wedding. Another challenge is that Lily puts on her wedding dress and suffers something I'm sure a lot of brides do- her dress doesn't fit. The part that isn't like most brides is that she lost too much weight- without even trying to. She then spends the rest of the episode eating as much fattening food as possible.

While all this happens Ted is trying to make a PC best man speech for the reception. He doesn't do so well- but pulls off a good speech as shown at the end of the episode.

Barney's contribution is that he is finally going to introduce himself to his father, who is........ wait for it.......... Bob Barker! He has practiced extensively and is trying to get to the showdown and win. Then he plans on telling Bob that he is his son. This leads to some great scenes to say the least. But don't trust me- go to CBS's Innertube and see full episodes of How I Met Your Mother.

Yay! South Dakota native Bob Barker!
