Hamilton, ON | How I Met Your Mother heads to Canada »www.thespec.com/whatson/article/···hamilton
I enjoyed the show and also this article in The Hamilton Spectator after Monday night's episode. It was a classic episode. I saw the next day that Tim's had already released a new donut -- The Priestly, inspired by the show! lol 
I think my favourite line was describing Hamilton as "just outside of Guelph." Nice dis to T.O. there!  |

Never watched that low brow show, and never will, so I don't care. |

So, if you've never watched the show, how do you know it's low brow? Especially since it isn't. |

I've seen plenty of promos. There is so much better content out there like, Secret State that aired in the UK. |

If you're using nothing but 10-15 second network promos as the basis for the opinion of an entire show, that opinion is based on nothing but ignorance. |

Hey I never said it was the best show in the universe/ There's plenty of good TV, and that includes HIMYM. As Gone said, you're talking out your ass. |

HIMYM is actually one of the very few US comedies I've enjoyed of late. The Canadian bits have always been great through out the show.
My only beef with it is the canned laughter. I just could never stand it. |

Are you going to tell me you've never read a book that you say after the first few pages and/or first chapter that it sucks?
In case you didn't realize promos are designed to show the "best" of a movie or a TV show, so if those "15 second networks promos" are the best that show can offer, my statement stands.

No, I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake....... |

| Invalid comparison, elwood.
Watching a full episode would be the same as reading a chapter. If you had watched an episode or two of the show and came to the conclusion it's not for you, fair enough. People have different tastes.
What you're doing by watching a few 10 second promos during a commercial segment is like opening up a random page of a book and reading the first three words of a random sentence only to come to the conclusion that the entire book sucks.
Promos are designed to catch attention to watch the show just once. More often than not, they will take something completely out of context to catch your attention and watch, only for the actual scene in the show to be nothing like what the promo claims. These promos don't exactly highlight the wittier humour or interpersonal situations that takes more than 10-15 seconds to think about. These more detailed situations are what will bring you as a viewer back, not a new promo each week.
Ergo, as NCRGuy said, you're talking out your ass. |

You're comparing a US comedy to a UK political thriller. That doesn't quite make sense. |

LOL I never even thought of Long John until you said it! ....Maybe the writers forgot too?...you should send this in, get yourself an associate writer credit on a future episode? |

The first time i heard of this show was when DJ mentioned in another thread, and I had to google it.
You want over the top? Watch an episode of Doomsday preppers and you'll understand Dark Lobe. I watched one at a friends place once, some people are nuts .

Hey!, I like that show. But then I like the Walking Dead and movies like The Road and The Book of Eli. |
