Seriously?
How I Met Your Mother is effing awesome.
Knocked out the entire first disc of season 1 in one sitting tonight. How can I not love a show that has exchanges like this in it:
Ted: I just met the perfect woman. She's funny, she's beautiful, she loves "Star Wars"...
Marshall: Woah woah woah, what's her take on Ewoks?
Ted: Loves them!
Marshall: Oh, good. I don't know why people are so cynical about Ewoks, the Rebellion would have failed without the Ewoks.
Ted: And get this: She's a marine biologist, she spent a year in Antarctica studying penguins.
Marshall: Oh, penguins are cool. Kinda like black-and-white Ewoks. I approve.
Well, at least I apparently have one out of three qualities of the "perfect woman." Heh. Also:
-- Bonus points for not bringing up Ewoks simply to outright bash them.
-- I think I want a Marshall.
-- Barney's pretty much a douche, but he's an entertaining-as-hell douche, and Neil Patrick Harris rocks the role. When he shows up at Ted's door in the Top Gun gear (complete with "Danger Zone" blaring on an out-of-sight boombox), and does that pitch-perfect imitation of shaking his hair out of a non-existent flight helmet... dude, I almost busted a gut.
-- Also on the Barney front: "You dumped a porn star? Friendship over. [Stands up and shouts in Ted's face] Friendship OVER!" :D
-- The laugh track annoys me (I didn't realize how much they did until Scrubs and The Office, but I think the show's well-written and funny enough to mostly overcome that. Well, what I've seen of season 3 so far hasn't been quite as funny as season 1, but we're only a couple of episodes in.
I need disc 2 of this and of Heroes, stat. Self, do NOT run out to Wal-Mart and drop $60 bucks just to sate your couch-potato-ness. Netflix is daaaaaangerous.
On that note, I'm going to further veg out on my newly-arrived X-Files DVD. :)
