    degradation of woman

    So Instead of getting mad at her boyfriend Ted who she thinks is cheating on her. She wants to go after a woman he met in a bar. people assume you there to get picked up so therefore you are single. This is what is wrong with the woman, men lie and cheat on them multiple times and call the other woman skanks.

    Ted Mosby. Architect.

    Another good episode of "How I Met Your Mother" that doesn't feature Barney Stinson that much. However Neil Patrick Harris simply steals every scene he is in. Every time there is a great episode of this show, it's him that is the focal point, now he is stealing episodes where he isn't.

    Plot In A Paragraph: Robin (Cobie Smulders) upset Ted (Josh Radnor) when she won't listen to his "boring work stories" and lists "Field Of Dreams" as her go to bad movie, and they have their first fight. Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris) tells him women love architects and Ted simply doesn't sell himself right. So determined to prove to Robin he is not boring he approaches two women in Maclarens and introduces himself as "Ted Mosby. Architect" the rest of the episode follows Lily (Alyson Hannigan) and Robin as they chase "Ted Mosby The Architect" one of the girls and Marahal (Jason Segel) from place to place.

    Josh Radnor, Cobie Smulders. Jason Segel, Alyson Hannigan are all fun here but again this episode is stolen by Neil Patrick Harris.
