How I Met Your Mother – Bad News
I love me some Sandy Rivers! I was happy to see him back on the show, and since Robin is working there now, there are chances for him to return in the future. I really love Alexis Denisof and it’s always fun when he shows up on my television unexpectedly.
I knew the title was “Bad News”… I typed it right up there ^ before the episode started. Still, I got so caught up in Sandy Rivers, and Robin’s bad video history, and Barney’s doppelganger being a fertility specialist, I forgot the title. I got so caught up in Lily being ok, and Marshall having great sperm (high motility-high five!), and Sandy Rivers wearing a toupee, I forgot the title. I got so excited for Marshall Marshall Marshall
I've read some commentary since writing this that there was a countdown clock on the episode. I have to be completely honest, I never saw it, never noticed it. I don't even know if it was just coming back from the commercials or if it was somewhere on screen through the whole episode. Since I didn't notice it, I have no comment on it.

Mike & Molly – Mike Goes to the Opera
Mike is gross. Is it not possible for a man of size to be depicted on television as being clean and neat, even if sick? I was so disgusted when he sneezed in the car, I almost turned the channel. Mike has never come across this way before, and being sick shouldn’t turn him into a pig.
I don’t really understand why Molly wanted to take care of Mike so badly. If it were me, I would have been thrilled to let his mother handle it. I get that she wanted to be the hero, to be the “go to” person in his life, but seeing how completely incapable he was of taking care of himself, I would have been happy to push him off on his mother.
Castle – Nikki Heat
I like Laura Prepon, I always have, but WHAT did she do to her eyes? I found it very distracting. Maybe it’s just the dark makeup, because I don’t remember noticing her eyes when she did How I Met Your Mother, but it looks like she may have had some work done. She is barely 30, it’s too early to start nipping/tucking/injecting.
It made me laugh that Castle obviously didn’t enjoy having someone more famous than he is circling around Beckett and the team. He didn’t like her to begin with, and the subtle lack of acknowledgement of his skill and writing didn’t help. He eventually warmed to her at least enough for him to allow her to jamb her tongue down his throat, but I don’t see them ever being best friends.
I was pleasantly startled to see Melody Thomas Scott as one of the suspects. It’s not often she breaks away from Young and the Restless to do a guest spot on a prime time show, especially one on a different network.
It was great the way Beckett went from loving attention and having a famous actress follow her around to hating it. She got creeped out and concerned that Natalie was going to “single white female” her. Natalie never went that far, but she would have slept with Castle if he had been game, which he wasn’t.
Ryan’s proposal to his girlfriend Jennifer was sweet and just about perfect. It made me tear up. Some of that might have been left over emotions from HIMYM, but it was just a perfect proposal. I also love the fact that Jenny is actually played by Seamus Dever’s (Ryan’s) wife. It made the whole proposal resonate just a little bit more for me.
Of course the bad guy, who’s been a bad guy for years and years, and who has oodles of money is well-connected.
I want one of those gadget tables. It would be cool to set my phone down and be able to see everything on it or plug in a memory stick and have it all pop up easily on screen.
Steve and the team have gotten closer to solving and proving who killed his mother. I am glad they showed Mary again, and showed Steve putting her on the plane back to LA. I guess if you are a former Navy seal with a pass from the governor, you can still walk your little sister right to the gate.
Men of a Certain Age – And Then the Bill Comes
It was nice to see Owen bringing the sales and service departments together with a new incentive. It totally sucks that he had to back down and take it all back when his father told him the truth about the business taxes and property. I feel badly for Owen because even when he gets it right something happens that sets him back. His father really set him up for a huge fall by not telling him everything. I am interest to see what he is going to do with that land.
Poor Terry is trying to act like a grown-up, but his family and friends don’t seem ready for him to do so. No one seems to believe he is ready to give up the acting for a more steady income as a car salesman.
I am glad Joe went to see Manfro. I like Manfro, and hope he doesn’t die, but I have a feeling next year Joe may inherit a dog and the bookmaking business. I also have concerns about whatever is going on with Joe’s eye. I don’t think it’s a hair he kept seeing; I think it is the beginning of something degenerative.
I can’t believe next week is already the season finale. It goes too fast.
