HIMYM expected to return for another season.

http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/24/showbiz/t ... ?c=showbiz

I was hoping they'd kind of end it after this season. I guess the only good thing is, they now potentially know where the end point is, and hopefully that will help the story line.

[newarenanow]

I started watching "The Neighbors". While not the best, I think it was pretty good. I'll continue to watch it.

Totally forgot that David Schwimmer was in Band of Brothers.

i wouldn't be surprised if it went 2 or 3 more seasons. it still gets good ratings, and jason segal is the only one on the show who seems to have other, legitimate stuff to do - yet they've managed to keep him around this long.

I don't think they will. I think next year will be the end. I've read an interview where the producer always viewed this show as an 8 or 9 season show, mainly because it is set in real time, and there is only so much story to tell until the kids are born, and he didn't want to go much past that. He said depending on if CBS/the actors wanted to go, he wanted to either end the show where Ted met the mother (this season), or go one season into the birth of the first child(next season, if there is one).

I don't think they have much longer term plans.

i'd be curious about other long running sitcoms and ultimately why they called it quits? i imagine it's typically due to the talent wanting to leave to do other things. i don't know how much the artistic aspect of story telling would come into play.

I think it's a mixture of both. I think of shows like Married with Children, where all the actors were still on board, but the stories just became redundent. So the network axes it.

[Sarcastic]

They cancelled Leverage.

[DudeMan2766]

Okay. I'm developing a huge crush in Willies wife from Duck Dynasty, Korie. I don't care how much money they have, these dudes can't possibly look or act like this in everyday life to reel this stuff in

[the wicked child]

I saw a couple episodes of that on Xmas eve... I am inclined to agree. I don't care how much money they have, their wives are way too hot to put up with the crap that goes on.

[Letang Is The Truth]

Anyone watch girls on hbo? Watched the entire first season tonight, pretty funny

[Kraftster]

Girls is very good.

[Idoit40fans]

You guys are brutal today. If he wants to like Glee...let him. I can think of many many worse things.

Thank you and watching Jersey Shore would be worse in my opinion.

I will start by saying that i don like glee...but the girlfriend does so i watch it. Jersey shore would be much worse. If the girlfriend liked that, she would just be some girl i dated a few times. Seriously, that would be a dealbreaker. And i am not a all someone who feels that strongly about...anything really.

[Gaucho]

Do Mad Men, Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones all continue in March?

Edit: no, BB continues in July. Boo! Hiss!

Totally forgot that David Schwimmer was in Band of Brothers.

"Passes, revoked".

He was at least a central character for a little bit...the real surprise was seeing Jimmy Fallon for like, 30 seconds...I was all "hey, what the?!...Is that Jimmy Fallon?! Wow...it totally is and...oh ok he is gone now."

That may be his entire dramatic acting career.

[the wicked child]

Hmm... I overlooked Jimmy Fallon altogether.

[JeffDFD]

Hmm... I overlooked Jimmy Fallon altogether.

I'm not really a fan of his or anything, but it was just such a surprise...kind of makes sense why he doesn't do any other dramatic roles...I am always so used to him playing the idiot/sarcastic/joker or whatever that it kind of distracts from the rest of the scene...like he is going to break out into his idiot/wise guy SNL Boston character and be all like "heyyyyyyyyyy...you guys need some ammo or something??? Ill give you some ammo for your sister...heeeyyyyyyy!!!"



The scene for others who are interested:

[Digitalgypsy66]

I don't remember where I saw it - it must have been his show - but Fallon told a story about how he couldn't drive the jeep in that scene. He kept stalling out and finally drove it enough to keep Dale Dye and Tom Hanks (who directed that episode) from yelling at him.

[the wicked child]

I can see why I didn't notice him... they wisely kept his part very small and didn't allow him to try to be funny.

[malkinshair]

My wife and I started watching Fringe on amazon over the weekend. We're about 7 episodes in, and really like it. Sort of an updated X-files. The acting is getting better as the characters start to get fleshed out. We're happy we tried it.

[relantel]

I'm ok with another season of HIMYM.

Spoiler:

Sad at the loss of Leverage - assume it means the Christmas episode was the last one? (haven't watched it yet, nor the 3 preceding)

Saw a promo for a new show where Anthony Edwards returns to TV. Think it was on ABC (this was during the 10 mins leading into the ball drop last night). Didn't catch the name, but intriguing.

And Cougar Town returns next Tuesday (1-8) at 10pm, but now on TBS. They have had an ad blitz across radio stations here in the DC area for the last month on that.

Guessing due its absence to date that CSI: Miami is dead?

You say it like he has an uncontrollable urge to be funny on camera. lol

If I ever meet him one day, I'm asking him, "How the hell did you get to be in Band of Brothers".

Yeah, CSI:Miami was offially pronounced DOA after last season.
