After the jump! Spoiler level: Pretty safe. There’s one that’s borderline spoilery, so the thumbnail’s been blacked out.

Generally I don’t bother spoiler-tagging the network’s description of an episode, but this is one of those episodes where the premise is surprising enough to warrant it. [Think Shelter Island - there was no way to say "Ted and Stella's wedding" without it feeling like a major spoiler.] Anyway: Press release after the jump!

Spoilers for Monday’s episode, obviously, but for NPH lovers, it’s worth it.

CBS has announced three reruns to follow Little Minnesota on Monday: Slapsgiving will air on December 22, How I Met Everyone Else will air on December 29, and according to a press release, Spoiler Alert will air on Monday, January 1, throwing the whole thing into confusion since January 1 is a Thursday. Presumably they mean January 5, but a Thursday rerun isn’t out of the question either.

As for the spoilers - thanks to KR for pointing this out! - the casting call for for 414 (Special Skills) includes the following summary, which explains a lot: Continue reading →

Spoilers after the jump. Nothing particularly earth-shaking, just plot spoilers and info on some recurring characters who should be showing up.

ALSO: Little Minnesota is now 4.11 and Benefits is now 4.12. (Not surprising, since LM is the Christmas ep and we’ve heard before that Benefits is airing in January.)

• Bob Saget’s new sitcom may never see the light of day now that Media Rights Capital has lost control over the CW’s Sunday night lineup.
• Photos of one of Those People on set, including one shot with Jason Segel and his attractive new haircut.
• Variety’s 2008 Comedy Impact Report includes a profile on Jason Segel and one on Carter Bays and Craig Thomas.
• Fun with numbers: Based on data from tvbythenumbers.com, last week HIMYM was the third most-watched half-hour comedy on network TV (behind Two and a Half Men and Worst Week). It had the second-best 18-49 numbers (behind Men, and tied with The Office) and the second-best 18-34 numbers (behind The Office, tied with 30 Rock).

A new character and evidence of a callback to an earlier episode, but nothing major. Continue reading →

I’m not even sure which reality show she’s from.

So we’re clear - these people are all being cast because the episode’s script called for a bunch of reality TV stars/tabloid fixtures. It works within the episode, and it’s minor.

HIMYM is not in danger of being cancelled, and I seriously doubt this is network-mandated. CBS is very satisfied with its Monday comedies (with the possible exception of Worst Week), and HIMYM doesn’t need any help in the ratings department. Viewership has been increasing every week since 4.02 aired, and Not A Father’s Day fell just short of netting the most viewers the show has gotten since Ten Sessions.
