HIMYM Recap: "Jenkins"

This episode was interesting, even if some of it was kind of predictable. While Marshall and Lily are certainly my favorite pair on the show, I didn't really enjoy the whole "Jenkins" story line. I wasn't surprised that Marshall didn't think he was the "reacher" but instead was the "settler" in the relationship or that he would then go try and use Jenkins to try and make Lily jealous.

The storyline I enjoyed most was that the college students used Robin's morning news show as a drinking game. At first I thought it was a little reaching to say that college students were still up then, but then I realized that night when I was up w between 4 and 5 in the morning that in fact, yes, there actually is news on at 4 in the morning. I also like that Robin chose to get back at them (even if it meant risking her career--although this is the TV world. She's certainly done stupid things before and still kept her job).

I though Neil Patrick Harris did an okay job at directing this episode, although I was disappointed at the lack of Barney in it. I think Barney really makes the show what it is and his character can always make me laugh.

In other news, my 4th season DVD of HIMYM should be arriving shortly so I should be able to watch and review that soon.

What have you been watching on TV this week?

Ahh, the Golden Globes.

I love Award shows. But sometimes I hate how much work I have to put into them. 2 hours of preshow (my favorite, I love watching the fashion) and at least 3 hours for a mere 25 Awards.

I thought Ricky Gervais was an okay host. There's really not a whole lot to hosting these days, there's not a whole lot to do with all the awards going on. It did, however, make me want to see the UK version of the Office.



It really surprised me that there is only 12 episodes.

Also, I've really wanted to see Mad Men. I've been interested in it ever since my Journalism teacher mentioned it in class and I may just have to since it won.

Award-wise, I was really disappointed Jane Lynch didn't win (I was sad Lea Michele didn't, but Lynch not winning came as a shock), but happy Glee won for best Comedy/Musical series.

Also, I was sad NPH didn't win, but that's life.

On another note, I'm really excited for Lauren Graham's new television show, Parenthood. Although it's not something I'd normally watch, I love Lauren Graham (and anything Gilmore girls). Also, Lauren Graham looked awesome on the red carpet: (via Lauren-online.net)

She's looking really good at 42 and I loved her dress.

So what TV show did you want to win at the Globes?
