This News Is LEGEN-wait for it-DARY!

After watching this week's How I Met Your Mother -- which will hereby be referred in this posting as the Best Sitcom Currently On Television (BSCOT) -- I was certain the show was cancelled.

The episode had all the little endings, references to the pilot, and storyline conclusions one would expect if the writers of the BSCOT were told that there would be no next year and were forced to prematurely bring conclusion to the show. (A faithful reader of this blog had even heard a report on E! that the BSCOT was on the bubble).

And just as it appeared that primetime television was going to losing its most consistent source of laser tag references, Variety (well, more accurately CBS) saves the day:

Eye skeins getting better news this week include "How I Met Your Mother," which has been picked up for a third season. Eye's most buzzworthy laffer might seem to be a no-brainer for renewal, but CBS execs make producers sweat it out until the last minute.

Thank you! (It just wouldn't have been fair if we didn't get to meet the mother).

Season three -- suit up!

Another Sign You're Aging

You can tell you're getting older when you realize how much you enjoy the low key, upbeat news stories of CBS News Sunday Morning. This is to say nothing of the fact that you can tell you're older because you're actually awake for CBS Sunday Morning.

Oh, and can you think of a more relaxing way to start the day than the nature scenery they leave you with every week? Ah...
