brokenrecordSo, I was totally planning on posting about stuff on Sunday, but then I ended up spending all of Sunday and Monday watching the first three episodes of Love My Way Season 1 and all three seasons of How I Met Your Mother (well, except for the episode that aired last night, since I was only up to about episode 13 or 14 by the time it aired, and I wanted to watch Gossip Girl anyways).
I actually watched the first 8 episodes of HIMYM when it first aired, but the laugh track bothered me, I thought it was just ok, and there was at least one other show I was watching at the same time. Plus, I watched it right after Arrested Development, which probably didn't help it any. But anyways, pretty much everyone on my flist is in love with it, and after Sandcastles in the Sand aired and it looked like there was a ship for me to latch onto (because that's necessary for me to get hooked to shows), I decided to watch it. Anyways, it's probably pretty obvious (since, you know, I watched all three seasons in two days) that I totally loved the show. I wish I hadn't given it up, but I think it benefited from watching all the episodes in a row rather than having to wait week to week. Random thoughts:
I love Barney. He's totally my favorite character. But I imagine there isn't much to say about him that hasn't already been said, and he's pretty much everyone's favorite character, so I'll just say that I totally love him too. When I first watched the show I remember finding him kind of annoying, and now I'm wondering what the hell was wrong with me because he's clearly awesome.
Oh, except: one of my favorite random things about Barney is how much he loves Marshall/Lily as a couple. It's totally awesome. Just... him crying while officiating the wedding and getting upset at the thought that one of them had called a divorce lawyer and him flying to San Francisco and getting Lily to come back. Totally awesome. I don't know why I love that so much, but I do.
My second favorite is probably Marshall. This is partly due to him being played by Jason Segel, who is awesome. But I totally love him as a character, too. And I like Marshall/Lily a lot too. Two of my favorite moments in the series are the finale of season 1 where Ted finds Marshall on the steps in the rain, and then in the second season when Lily and Marshall get back together on the steps. I like Lily most of the time, too, but she can be kind of annoying at times.
I like Robin a lot. She's at her best when she's with Barney, but I actually didn't hate her relationship with Ted. Ted's my least favorite, but I like him most of the time.
I actually didn't think I'd find the show incredibly funny, and that I'd watch it mostly just for shipping Barney and Robin, but I ended up finding it really funn on its own right. Before watching Sandcastles in the Sand, I was thinking that I wouldn't actually mind if they didn't get together because the show was awesome enough that I'd watch anyways. But then I actually saw that episode and was reminded of how awesome they are together and now I'm back to caring if they get together (although I do still think the show is awesome enough without them). I wouldn't want them to have a relationship (at least at first), but I am disappointed that they seem to be pretending that nothing ever happened between them and are using it more as a way to damage Ted and Barney's relationship. Which is also interesting to watch, but I'd much rather watch Barney and Robin make out some more. Oh well. I still love this show anyways.
I must say, it was pretty awesome timing to finish watching this show and fall in love with it and then get all afraid about if it's renewed for next season and to come back online and find that the L.A. Times reported just yesterday that it had been. Yay for another season! ...hopefully I can fit it into my TV-watching schedule. Especially since I'm watching Prison Break again next season and that's on at the same time. Gossip Girl better go back to Wednesdays or my Monday nights are going to be way too filled with TV.
Anyways, now I'm probably going to finish the first season of Love My Way. Well, I don't know. I mean, I like it, but I have no way of getting seasons 2 and 3 (and I've also heard that they're really awful, so I don't know if I'd want to watch them, anyways). We'll see. There are loads of TV shows I want to start watching over the summer, so maybe I'll put it off.
Miss/Guided was officially canceled which makes me sad because it was actually pretty funny. I could see myself getting really hooked on it if it had been given more than like 6 episodes. sigh. Oh well. It's not like I was expecting it to be renewed. And I'm pretty sure I'm one of like five people in the entire country who watched it. So I don't know that anyone else really cares.
I have things to say about Brothers and Sisters and Gossip Girl, but I am going to go to Ikea now with my mom to buy a new dresser for my room because I need more space for clothes and the one I have I have had since I was born. So I will post about them later or tomorrow.
