Unfinished@ CBSReview: HIMYM is back to where it should be, making use of its charcters. Although this episode didn't have any jokes that will become keepers, (though wheres the poop is funny enough idea). The Plot had us seeing the allegedly content Ted offered a gig, and Barney trying to charm him into it. It was great to see things that we knew Barney would do in order to get a girls attention effectively work on Ted. Marshall of course not being able to keep secret kept the chain of events going. Best of all, the scenario never really felt like it had overstayed its welcome. The side plot took a simple, effective approach of instead of giving it a serious tone, or trying to cram Robin's coping into an already full episode, its instead given the "keep it funny, and keep it short" approach. This gives us breathing room for main plot and keeps the episode mostly funny.
Overall: This episode is not that standout as a series highlight; the fact that its entertaining and funny throughout because of the zany characters we've all come to love makes this episode well put together and good example of what HIMYM should be most weeks.
