Buzz In: Is HIMYM Giving Up on Barney and Robin Too Easily?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:30:13 -0800

How I Met Your Mother, why must you toy with my emotions?! After just seven episodes of dating seriously, Barney and Robin are broken up and tonight Barney will be back to his old ways of lovin' and leavin'. What's more annoying is that their time together hasn't been crazy in love, and their break up is such a depressing way to end any TV relationship: with Barney gaining weight and Robin letting herself go. As the audience, you wanted them to break up, and I don't think that's fair.

When I asked you guys if you thought Barney and Robin would make it as a real couple, many of you expressed fear that the writers would break them up after a short time, so it's not like we all didn't see this one coming. Still, we went through a whole season of Barney pining over Robin, and tonight we're already back to them being single again. I didn't expect these two to have the easiest route, but I just wish they'd given them a fair shake. What do you think? Do you think they'll be back together by the end of the season?

Could Rachel Bilson Be HIMYM's Mother?!

BuzzSugar — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 12:30:25 -0700

How I Met Your Mother has given us a fair share of teases in the past (Ted's engagement to Stella, his wedding dream in this week's episode), but this one may take the cake. The adorable Rachel Bilson is set to to make an appearance in the show's upcoming 100th episode, and apparently it may be more than a cameo.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the 100th episode will play a vital (legendary, if you will) role in Ted's meeting of his future wife. Apparently the execs really wanted to take their time to choose the right actress for the episode.

Sadly we won't get to see the episode until January, which means we've got at least three long months to speculate. I've loved Bilson since her days on The O.C., and she quite possibly could make a perfect match for Ted. Would you be excited about Bilson, or did you always envision someone else as "the mother"?

Caption It!

BuzzSugar — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 06:30:18 -0700

Welcome to the Caption It game on BuzzSugar! Every Wednesday, I'll post a photo still from a TV show or movie here and challenge you to think of the most hilarious caption possible. I'll announce the finalists the following Tuesday, and you'll get to vote for the best caption!

Before we get to our new pic, let's congratulate cheche524 who won last week's competition. She came up with this line for a granola-hungry Joel McHale in The Informant!.

"A whole box and problem still not solved. What a rip, I should have gone with Fiber One instead."

It was a narrow race at first, but cheechee524 edged out the rest of the competition with 34% of the vote. Nice work.

Moving on to this week, I already started chuckling when I came across this photo from Monday's episode of How I Met Your Mother. Lots of possibilities for this one, so have at it.

Leave your captions in the comment space below before 5 p.m. PDT on Monday, Sept. 28 to be considered for a spot in the voting round. Have fun!

Do You Think Robin and Barney Will Make It as a Real Couple?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 14:30:28 -0700

The season premiere of How I Met Your Mother, "Definitions," made good on its promise (gleaned from my sneak peek) to show Robin and Barney as an actual couple. Alas, long-awaited relationships are rarely smooth sailing in sitcom land, and in this episode, Robin and Barney haven't yet established what they are, though the last scene was optimistic about their status. (Were you lost? Brush up with my season four quiz.)

Usually having a couple get together and be happy can be boring for TV shows, but it has worked for Jim and Pam on The Office. Meanwhile, on Gossip Girl, the writers felt the need as early as the premiere to spice things up for Chuck and Blair so people won't get bored watching them.

Do you think HIMYM's writers will give us what we want and let Robin and Barney be happy together? And even if you like them together, is a happy relationship what you want to see?

How I Met Your Mother is finally back tonight, and I can't wait to see the aftermath of last season's finale. Judging from the sneak peek photos, we can expect to see Ted in the classroom and Barney and Robin exploring the relationship life. Before we dive into season five, test your knowledge on the last couple of seasons.
