Wow! How awesome for you! I love that they have giant promos and game things, too (it's nice that one of my shows iis actually successful).

Yeah, it's awesome that HIMYM is successful enough to get giant promos throughout NYC; however, it's not as successful as I think it should be. It never gets Emmy nominations for Best Comedy (besides Season 4) or for the actors (except NPH in Seasons 2-5). It doesn't get as many viewers as the other CBS comedies and it didn't make the recent Writers Guild of America's "101 Best Written TV Series" list. I guess I always feel slightly disappointed because the show and the actors never seem to get the recognition it and they deserve.

Oh, of course you're right about all of that. HIMYM's not as critically recognized as it (still) should be. It feels like the world - and CBS - doesn't know whether to place us as a normal CBS comedy or as something less broad, and that can be very alienating as a fan/viewer.

But at the same time, like: nine seasons! That's crazy. That's more than the six seasons and a movie that Community probably won't get. Idk. TV is such a crazy industry in so many ways, and that we can get that many seasons and some actual advertising makes me happy.

That's true. HIMYM has had a long run compared to a lot of shows so that's definitely an indication of its popularity.

Wow, NPH and David Hyde Pierce! You lucky duck!

I'm hoping to be as lucky on Friday. I'm planning to stand in line for a few hours in order to get standby tickets to see NPH on "Jimmy Fallon". Only a few tickets are handed out to the first few people in line so I'm hoping my luck hasn't run out yet. :)

Wow, you're so lucky! And I'm impressed that you managed to string a coherent sentence together when face-to-face with NPH. I don't think I'd manage that!!

Thanks for posting!

Oh, I forgot what I wanted to tell him when I came face-to-face with him. I wanted to tell him that Barney and Robin are my favorite TV couple of all-time, but it never came out of my mouth because my brain wasn't operating properly. :( But, at least I managed to get some words out. :)
