The Hollywood writers' strike ended more than a month ago, but tonight, it will finally start to feel over, as three CBS Monday comedies — The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, and Two and a Half Men — return with new episodes for the first time in months.

This isn't the episode with Britney Spears, unfortunately — we have to wait another week for her highly anticipated guest spot — but there's a little Vanessa Minnillo action, if you're into that.

To prepare for the show's return, the cast members filmed a little video talking about their favorite episodes from the show's two and a half seasons (not surprisingly, Robin Sparkles is involved). To check it out, just read more.
