How I Met Your Mother |

If you recognize the title, then you’ve passed the test of being a fan. The CBS comedy How I Met Your Mother is now in it’s fifth season and is still going strong. Personally I thought for sure that it would be about two seasons then done for the show, but anything with NPH in it (Neil Patrick Harris) is pretty much guaranteed to be a hit. They do a lot of things well in the show, more than just providing good laughs in the half-hour span. Each character brings their own quirks to the group. While they are five different middle-aged characters, they all support one another, creating a New York family. NPH is the most recognizable person from the show because of Doogie Howser and more recently the Harold & Kumar movies. Jason Segel has been in a number of Judd Apatow movies and Alyson Hannigan is from the American Pie series.
Jennifer Lopez has signed on for a guest starring role in an upcoming episode of CBS’ “How I Met Your Mother.”
The actress/singer/designer will play Anita Appleby, “a no-nonsense author of self-help books that teach women how to mold the perfect man through the power of denial.” Anita makes it her mission to “break” Barney but it appears she may have met her match.
“We couldn’t be more excited about Jennifer Lopez joining us on ‘How I Met Your Mother,’” said series executive producer and co-creator Carter Bays. “We’re looking forward to a week of revealing outfits and sexy dance moves the likes of which this show hasn’t seen since Regis Philbin guest starred.”
CBS easily won Monday night, again, with its insanely popular line-up of comedies. During its flagship night, the network defeated ABC and NBC in the 18-49 demographic and demonstrated series highs with The Big Bang Theory and the 100th episode of How I Met Your Mother. Starring Neil Patrick Harris, Josh Radnor, Jason Segel, Cobie Smulders and Alyson Hannigan, the show netted its best numbers since last spring.
Two and Half Men with Charlie Sheen also had its best 18-49 demo performance since last winter and also its best audience average since December of 2008.
Its finally here, the 100th episode of How I Met Your Mother airs tonight on CBS and they’re marking the event with a big, splashy musical number.
“I don’t think we’re going to do too often, but now that we’ve gotten our feet wet, we’d love to do it again,” the show’s co-creator, Carter Bays said.
The episode, Girls vs. Suits features the musically inclined cast performing Barney’s ode to suits, “Nothing Suits Me Like a Suit,” with 65 dancers all backed by the strings of a 50-piece orchestra.
Bays wrote the song with executive producer Craig Thomas, the pair also wrote the show’s theme song with their band, The Solids. The “Nothing Suits Me Like a Suit” number plays out in Barney’s mind when he’s forced to choose between his signature suit and a hot bartender who hates men in suits.
While they continue coming up with new, and ever stranger, ways to hid the two baby bumps on the set of How I Met Your Mother, the show’s executive producer, Carter Bays, is using another distraction method, spilling the goods about what’s going to happen next on the show.
First of all, it looks like we are getting closer to finding out who exactly the mom is. Bays confirms Ted is the series’ narrator (not Barney as is sometimes rumored) and that the last …
