Must be something in the water at the HIMYM set, because only a month after Alyson Hannigan announced her pregnancy, Cobie Smulders, aka HIMYM’s HOT Robin, has stated she too is going to have a baby in the spring.
Series cocreator Craig Thomas commented on the fertility boom on the set:

“Everyone’s tremendously excited by all the impending motherhood here at How I Met Your Mother. We’re all so happy for Cobie and Aly, who will undoubtedly be amazing moms!” said Thomas. “And now, a public service announcement: If you’re trying to start a family, please come visit the set of How I Met Your Mother. Just come by and hang out for a day or two. We can’t legally guarantee anything, but by the time you leave, you will almost certainly be pregnant.”

I for one hope we”re not going to have an influx of babies on the show, because, let”s face it, babies are BORING in sitcoms and would keep the gang from what they do best: hang out in bars.

HIMYM Barney

Lily and Marshall decide to have a baby, but Lily gets cold feet and calls on Robin and Ted to help her decide.

I like the way they portrayed the way people decide to have kids: Lily and Marshall are deep in debt, live in a crappy apartment, and work all hours of the day. Yet looking at a baby’s sock decides them on having a child. Yep. I’ve seen that happen. Soooo, Robin moves in with Ted, ey?
Well, she’s still aunt Robin, so I guess that’s not gonna happen (I’m still rooting for Barney&Robin, when’s that gonna happen?!) And I’m very glad Lily and Marshall aren’t having a baby. Come on, people having babies are boring!

Also nice to see Kevin’s dad (The Wonderyears!) again, though he didn’t get to do much.

Funny quotes:

Lily: “Baby me, Marshall, I’m ready!”

Robin to Ted “Every time you hear the word ‘kid’ you get two little lactation stains on your shirt.” (ouch!)

Barney:
“The cheerleader effect is when a group of women seems hot, but only as a group. It’s like with cheerleaders. They seem hot, but take each one individually: sled dogs. And that, my friends, is the cheerleader effect, also known as the brides maids paradox, and, for a brief period in the nineties, the Spice girls syndrome. Scary Spice indeed.”

Ted & Barney

What a GREAT episode!
I missed HIMYM, the week’s just not the same without it.
Anyway, Ted has to deal with Stella dumping him at the altar, the gang tries to cheer him up, but he acts like there’s nothing wrong. Of course there is, and they all try and help him through it.

Of course I wanted Stella to be extremely unhappy at having made the wrong choice, but in the end I kinda liked the fact stuff worked out for her. And that she’s still out of the series, because she was as dull as two sticks. And Ted’s back, ready to play the field! Robin’s also back, great story line about her dad btw, so will they we snuggling up together once more? I hope not, I’m rooting for Barney and Robin as a couple (Rorney? Babrin?) but if that’s meant to be than they sure are taking things slow… So who’ll be Ted’s dream girl? And what will happen now that Allyson Hannigan is pregnant? Will Marshall be a daddy?

Here’s the link for all you sidereelers/Megavideo fans!

Alysson and Alexis tying the knot

Rumors had been flying for a bit but now it’s official: Alysson Hannigan and hubby Alexis Denisof are expecting their first baby together. The couple, who met on th set of good ol’ Buffy the Vampire Slayer, got hitched in 2003 and are ‘thrilled’ (can’t anyone ever think of another word? Scared witless for instance? I know, that’s two words…)

Great for them, but how will it affect the storyline? Are Marshall and Lily about to become proud parents? Won’t that be boring? Remember Ross and Rachel? Though we didn’t see that much of that baby.

Or will Lily wear big blousy things, hide her belly behind big objects and simply gain quite a bit of weight on the show? It’s all been  done before…..

HIMYM co-creator Carter Bays told TVGuide.com, “We are thrilled for Alyson and Alexis, and we know that they are going to be amazing parents. It’s too early to say how this will impact the show going forward, although we may have to push the ‘Lily wins a gold medal in gymnastics’ storyline to next season.”

Barney

Yes, they’re back! After three so-so episodes, though still one of the best things on tv at the moment, this was a GREAT episode, found myself laughing out loud.In this episode the gang’s moving out, Ted’s on his way to stepfatherhood and New Jersey, Lily&Marshall are moving to the sewage/money pit with the slanted floors, and Robin’s on her way to Japan. Barney’s not going anywhere, but he’s found a great new trick to pick up girls!

R2sweettooth, Barney in an old man suit sent from the future, all the interventions, it was AWE wait for it SOME. No Stella either, which is a good thing and a lot of new possibilities: so in one year someone will still be living in the apartment. We know Robin is living there, or at least her towel, so who else? Marshall and Lily? Ted? Barney? Hmmm. Interesting.

And will Robin still go to Japan?
