First Look: Britney Spears on How I Met Your Mother

March 20, 2008

Well, folks, here it is: Your first real look at Britney Spears' highly anticipated guest spot on How I Met Your Mother. Pop had a split second clip of her earlier this week, which was enough to get us excited but not really showcase her role. As we know, she plays Abby, a receptionist at Ted's dermatologist's office who falls for Ted — almost immediately, if these little clips are any indication. So OK, I'm not laughing out loud yet (though there's one Tom Selleck/Magnum reference that's not too bad), but hey, it's Britney. Talking. On TV! To check out the clips and decide if you have a date with Britney for 8:30 p.m. on Monday, just read more.

Wow, how un-dynamic. I just don't really get how this benefits her or the show, though I hope working can help her get back on track.

I thought it was okay, but she still isn't that great of an actress. I'm still excited to see this episode though.

She's looking so much better here than in all the paparazzi pics that are published. While I do believe she has some serious issues and needs professional help, I think it gets blown out of proportion. Lots of stories have a certain spin, to make her look bad.

Not a great actress, but still happy to see her working again.

ok the "Magnum's here to see you" and her "never mind that was stupid" made me chuckle.

Hope this is the beginning of a better life for her; she made me smile as I watched the clip.

I think it was funny! I mean she is supposed to be goofy and kinda odd so I think she nailed it. Plus she does look pretty :)

Even though I am irritated by her I would like to see her have her life back.

Wow, I'm actually really surprised at how good it looks. I love the show, but when I heard she was guesting I kind of groaned, recalling painful memories of her other acting stints (FYI I just typed "stinks" by... accident?) This looks promising, and I hope it really will garner tons more fans of the show because it's really one of the best on television right now, but so underrated!
