Have you met Ted?

No, dope, not (Uni)Ted.

Boston Herald talks to Neil Patrick Harris and others about the new CBS sitcom, How I Met Your Mother.

Haven't seen it, but it sounds good.

Still, it gave me one insight merely through one of its promotions.

Blogs have already jumped the shark.

Jump The Shark.com describes the term as:

It's a moment. A defining moment when you know that your favorite television program has reached its peak. That instant that you know from now on... it's all downhill. Some call it the climax. We call it jumping the shark.

Barney (Neil Patrick Harris -- Doogie Howser, MD to many of you) seems to always tell Ted to "suit up," i.e. to wear a suit when they go out trawling for women. The one time he does, it's a miracle.

You suited up! I can't believe it! says Barney. This is SO going on my blog!

Yep. It's already way too passé if it's that trendy that some Hollywood writer wrote it into a script, AND the Hollywood (or New York?) promotions person picked that line to use in a promo.

On another note: Out of Practice on CBS I have actually seen and it's not too shabby either.
