Please don't tell anyone. Please please please. My rep is at stake!

How I met your mother got boring to me in the 3rd season, just as scrubs got after 6th season. May be I should watch it continuously after the season is over... Robin is undoubtedly 1 hot ....

Actually, it turns out, Barney is gay in reality, he is one of the people who has confessed out in the open, as is the guy who plays the character "George O'Mally" in Grey's anatomy... Its really cool acting for the role of Barney!!

And there is just no comparison with FRIENDS chandler or Joey for that matter... They made the mark! :) I just simply cant...

Yaar, post spoilers alert naa!

Anyway we need to take break otherwise it's not fun. I took a break from Friends Season 6 and I liked Season 7 very much. :lol: Now this Lost Season 2. I was in a high after Season 2 (saw 15 months after Season 1) and I liked it . I liked Lost S2 so much that I immediately saw Lost S3.

It was kind of monotonous and in fact I stopped in between in Epic 14. Not going to watch for a while.


Imo, the best way to watch..
1. Watch as it is aired.
2. Watch half a season at a time and give a break in btw.

The cake is a lie!!!
Saw the 13th ep of PB S3. I liked the way they ended the season and cant wait for start of season4. :D But that won't be soon enough.:(

The pilot ep of Knight Rider was pretty exciting but I felt that the end of the ep was totally cliche. If they are making this in to a series, I hope they don't go the Sarah Connor Chronicles way which started out good but couldn't keep up the momentum.

Heroes Volume 3 is supposed to return in September. ahhhhhhhh long wait.

Ohh I didn't read properly what you wrote (wrt Barney) so suspected that it's spoilers.

I too agree that How I met your Mother is good, but we can't compare with Friends. Even in How I met.. I was laughing out loud sometimes but the freq. is a lot less than what I used to laugh while watching Friends.

Back to You

Comedy
Released 2007
In the '90s, the local TV news scene in Pittsburgh was dominated by anchors Chuck Darling and Kelly Carr. Off-screen, Chuck was a bit of a womaniser; Kelly, a bit uptight. As years went on, Chuck was promoted from city to city, but when an embarrassing newscast tirade ends up on the Internet, Chuck finds himself looking for work. When he gets the call to again co-anchor with Kelly, it's an offer he can't refuse. Back in Pittsburgh, Chuck is introduced to some new co-workers: Montana Stevens, the sexy, somewhat inept weather anchor, and Ryan Church, the overstressed news director. There are also familiar faces such as Marsh McGinley, the inappropriate sports anchor, and field reporter Gary Crezyzewski. But, mostly, there's Kelly, now a single mom to 10-year-old Gracie who, unbeknownst to Chuck, is the result of his drunken one-night rendezvous with Kelly when they worked together years ago.

Matt Parkman, a police detective (Greg Grunberg, "Alias") from Los Angeles, attempts to put his ability to hear the thoughts of others to good use.

@goobi-
You watch a show for what it is or for the chicks? ;)
Well, as a guy, he has full right to watch 'em for the chicks. Nothing wrong with that, IMHO. :)

Friends is long gone and finished. Get over it. Time for something new.
So what? It's the best show ever. I don't know how someone can possibly "get over it". I can watch each episode 19,549 times. :D

Yeah, but I started watching recently about a year ago. So it's still fresh in my memories. (Did it sound mushy?)
No, it doesn't. It's the best show on television. Goobimama has a mental problem or something... :p

Uh. Okay. I'm going to come out and confess. But no one make fun of me okay? Please? And this does not leave the forum.

What's so wrong with watching Gossip Girl? It's a great show.
