After all alleged comments from Neil Patrick Harris saying that he didn't think Britney should make a return appearance on How I Met Your Mother, and the backtracking where he said his comments were taken out of context and then the reporters said they weren't and then he made nice and then it became whole long and stupid debacle that took up way too much space in the news, Britney is back on the show next Monday. Check out the too cute and corny for words picture attached, which is the whole reason I just had to write about this. I love the matching sweaters! Apparently Britney (or Abby if you insist on thinking of her as an actual actress playing a character) and Barney (hey, at least we've stopped calling him Doogie) try to get back at Ted who broke their hearts in different ways by flaunting their relationship in his face. Yeah, take that Ted. While I doubt that Brit's return appearance will prove to be the ratings bonanza that her first stint was since last time the gossipmongers tuned in to see a trainwreck and she proved she can handle bit parts so there's little chance of a meltdown this time. Though if the episode does do well, it could push the yet-to-be-renewed show off the bubble and onto another season, but that leaves me with the lingering concern that there will be a revolving door of guest stars used in order to keep this show on the air, and isn't that the same thing that Neil Patrick Harris was worried (or supposedly worried) about in the first place?
