Maybe this is just me being lazy on a Monday, but I don’t really feel like reviewing How I Met Your Mother on a weekly basis anymore. Aside from big things happening–like Robin and Barney getting back together, or Ted on the hunt for the Mother–I’m not really interested in whatever random thing is going on. This is mainly due to the fact that I don’t care about Kevin or Nora. I don’t find them funny and I continue to think they’re plot devices being used to comment on the characters.
That said, “Noretta” had some funny moments when the parents replaced the significant others. It’s a subject broached on plenty of shows, but HIMYM is a visual show and isn’t afraid of putting the characters in very awkward positions.
Score: 8.6/10
