So Ted recently fucked Barney's sister, strong possibility she's the Mother right?

No, If you watch the most recent episode you will understand why that possibility is ruled out.

Ahh man, why won't they reveal who the fucking mum is already.

Couldn't you have just turned your tv on and watched a random episode for free? That shit is always on.

I know, but after buying random episodes I decided buy a few seasons. My favorite sit-com on TV

Good HIMYM and BBT episodes this week.

New Girl season 2 episode 13, Schmidt had me creasing the whole way + Cece is fine as fuck.

Only an unhappy person would find this show not funny.

So watched the season premiere of Community, and really didn't laugh. I felt like they just jammed to much in. If they went with one angle, Abed's imagination, the Hunger Deans game, just one, it might have been better. I'm going to give it this season, but at this rate, it may become a show I stop watching if it gets renewed, which is sad

I'm really not quite sure what to make of the newest Community episode. It wasn't quite the unmitigated disaster that I was expecting, but there was a certain intangible quality that made everything just feel off. The wackiness was still there, but it didn't feel particularly organic. Instead of trying to ape Dan Harmon, I'm thinking that maybe these guys would have actually been better off going in their own direction; as it is now, the show is just coming off as a lesser version of what it was before.

Oh, and I didn't laugh once, either.

That gag was awful, and it was a clear sign of them trying to broaden their audience by pandering to the mainstream. For better or worse, Harmon's references were always a bit more obscure and worked into the stories in a much less obvious and more clever fashion.

Community was overwhelmingly disappointing this week. I wouldn't of minded if the hunger dean idea would of just flopped on it's own... but they didn't even give it a chance.
