Alan Sepinwall over on NJ.com makes an excellent observation. Alan writes about how CBS missed a big opportunity to showcase their big hit (HIMYM of course). CBS has announced that “Criminal Minds” would be getting the coveted post Super Bowl airing slot. I thought and hoped that they would have put HIMYM in that spot to attract more viewers, but they didn’t. I am so tired of cop shows, detective shows, lawyer shows, etc. Why not put your leading comedy show right after the Super Bowl? People will have been drinking having a good time watching the game (or I guess a bad one if your team loses) and will be in the mood to laugh, not get all serious with “Criminal Minds.” I’m no marketing major but even I know that people who are drunk are not going to want to watch a cop drama! Come on CBS, we seriously need to work out some kinks. First the stripping the good music from the DVD release, now this?

So borrowing an idea that reader, Keith, gave me I’m going to charge all the HIMYM fans to get a copy of HIMYM season one DVD and when your Super Bowl party ends throw in a disc and get some of your friends to watch. Netflix it, Buy it from Amazon, download it, rent it from Blockbuster or act it out. Your friends will thank you. If any of you do this, send me a report. I’d love to hear how it went over.
