How I Met Your Mother: Monday Night Football

(S02E14) Sometimes a show can't help but pull a plot from Sitcomville. That's what happens when you have to crank out 22 episodes per year (speaking of that... can you believe there are only eight episodes left? March and April are going to be pretty harsh). But it's what the show does with that standard-grade plot that shows the audience how strong the writing is overall. That's what we saw tonight with an episode that was likely designed to air right after last night's Super Bowl, before CBS got the bright idea to air Criminal Minds instead.The mission: get to Monday evening without finding out anything about the Super Bowl. Pretty mundane, huh? Seen it all before, right? But it was all still pretty damn funny, wasn't it?
