    An OK Season Opener

    Season two of "How I Met Your Mother" starts exactly were we left off with Lily leaving Marshal and Ted delighted to be with the girl of his dreams Robin.

    We also now get a quick segment before the opening credits ala "Friends".

    Plot In A Paragraph: Ted (Josh Radnor) Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) and Robin (Cobie Smulders) try to cheer up a depressed Marshall (Jason Segel) following his split from Lily (Alyson Hannigan). Things are made worse when he suspects she may be back in town.

    An OK start to the second season, not a great return, but watchable TV, I particularly liked the Robin being a gun nut storyline, and Barney's speak about how the three single guys were going to rule New York.

    Neil Patrick Harris really does make me laugh, and even the dullest episodes perk up when he is on screen.

    I like the bit where Marshall punches that bloke in the face

    I know exactly how Marshal felt about breaking up with Lily.

    Breaking up with your loved one. Husband or wife, girlfriend or boyfriend is no easy thing to go through. So I know exactly how Marshal felt. This past October, I called off the relationship with my girlfriend now ex-girlfriend. After breaking up with her, I was in a emotional mess and at different times I started crying. But you know what helps me get through the emotional pain? My friend Gabriel. He went through a break up himself. So he knows how I feel. And till this day, I often feel emotionally hurt and start crying. But eventually in the future, I'll move on. Marshal moved on and so did Gabriel and so will I.

    • Trivia
      Robin calls Ted "Teddy Bear" in this episode at the bar, but in later episodes it is established that she hates nicknames, along with all "couple-y stuff".
    • Goofs
      On Day 22, Ted says it's Sunday, and on Day 67, Marshall says it's Sunday. But if Day 22 was a Sunday, Day 67 would be a Wednesday.
