"Daddy's home." - B. Stinson
All of the Legendary quotes from Barney and this is the one you pick?
Well this one seemed the most appropriate today. After a season-and-a-half long story arc involving Barney and Robin dating, that nonsense is finally over and we can go back to the Barney we know and love. I just hope the rest of the show/writing hasn't degenerated enough that it can't recover from this disastrous plot line.
Dorsal fin circling?
You know...the phrase "Jump The Shark" gets thrown out very quickly on TV shows now when somebody doesn't like something that happens. In hindsight, whether or not that turns into the true Jump The Shark moment or not really remains to be seen. The example, of course, being Happy Days in which everybody who ever watched the show points to Fonzie jumping the shark (literally) being the exact point at which the show started going downhill. One failed story arc does not a Jump The Shark moment make...and I'm willing to give How I Met Your Mother a chance to redeem itself (There are two slaps left, after all). However, if the show is never quite able to recover, I will be the first in line to point to "Sandcastles In The Sand" as the moment the show started to tank.
