Earlier this year, TV writers were in the news like never before — but, unfortunately, that's because they were
on strike. So, what's it like when they're working. The New York Times has given us a peek, taking us inside the rooms where the writers come up with the dramatic scenes and witty one-liners that make television so great.

The adorable cast of
How I Met Your Mother minus Jason Segel got together to share a few red carpet laughs in NYC last night at an Academy screening of the show. Alyson looked especially fabulous in her
LWD while Jason Radnor looked every bit his character in the untucked shirt, tie and jeans. At the event Neil Patrick Harris talked about, what else, the possibility of bringing Britney back.
Even though it's just a scene from
How I Met Your Mother, do you think this holds any truth in your life?

You love your kids, but you can't keep all their creations. Once your tot reaches the toddler stage, you become inundated with pictures, collages and all the other projects they pack home from daycare or preschool. And, since there's only so much space on the fridge, you need an alternative.
TV Tonight: How I Met Your Mother Gets Britney Back After Britney Spears made her first appearance on How I Met Your Mother last month, show star Neil Patrick Harris got into a kind of media kerfuffle over whether he did or did not say he wanted to keep guest stars like Britney off the show. So I'm finding it a little amusing that when Brit returns to the show tonight, she seems to be spending most of her scenes with Harris.

Britney is back to reprise her role as Abby, the receptionist in Ted's dermatologist's office.
Britney will be making her second guest appearance on
How I Met Your Mother on Monday, and it will be interesting to see if she can hit another
ratings homerun the second time around. Most of you
loved her first appearance, so watch the cute teaser for Monday night's episode and tell us — will you tune in to see Britney again?

If I wanted to, I could probably do a
TV tech quiz for
How I Met Your Mother — you wouldn't think, but this ensemble of friends in NYC is pretty wired — especially my favorite character, Barney. I've Ioved NPH since
Doogie Howser, MD, and as Barney I love him more — he's got an iPhone, a MacBook Pro — and talks in tech (and text) speak 24/7. A little bit creep but a lot of geek, Barney killed me in this clip from last week's episode after a scandalous romp with Ted's ex-girlfriend Robin.
