7. Biggest Blast from the “Future”: Can we time-travel to next September and give Neil Patrick Harris an Emmy already? His work on How I Met Your Mother as “Old Barney,” who ostensibly travels from the future to save mankind by bedding hot tamales, was downright impressive in the accuracy of every nuance, trembling hand, and unfocused gaze.

The fine folks over at TVGuide.com are able to identify pure genius when they see it.  This week’s top moments include one from our favorite show.  It’s hard not to love any of Barney’s pickup lines, but the old-man-time-traveler bit was pure genius.

Who doesn’t love them some Neil Patrick Harris? I know I like just about anything he’s in.  While I am a huge fan of How I Met Your Mother I am also a big Indy film buff.  I love seeing what talented people can do with just a little bit of money and very little “corporate” pressure.  That is why I loved one of NPH’s new projects Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Its a short little mini-series, movie, play, whatever about super heros with a story.  It’s incrediblly funny, and well worth your time.  You can purchase the shows on iTunes or watch it for free on thier website.

Side note: this is what I think the movie / television industry should go towards. Allow your viewers to watch the show online for free or download it to keep for a fair price. I know I’m headed to iTunes right now to buy it!

(Update: I removed the picture as it was confusing people, including myself.  The show that Barney appeared on during HIMYM was The Price is Right.   The show that Neil Patrick Harris appeared on was Wheel of Fortune. (the one with Vanna White!) I hope that clears up some of the confusion. )Notice how I said NPH, not Barney. Yes the real Neil Patrick Harris will be appearing this week on Wheel of Fortune as part of Celebrity Week. The celebrities will be playing for charities and our NPH will be playing for Children International.

“By playing for Children International, Neil Patrick Harris is helping us bring hope to children who live in dire poverty,” James R. Cook, President and CEO of Children International said. “We appreciate his willingness to bring his obvious concern for helping impoverished children into the public eye.”

You can find out more information over at the BuddyTV article. Good luck Neil!

Alyson’s Favorite Shirt

Carala, sent me an email the other day about a site she found showing “15 Stars In Their Favorite T-Shirt“. I didn’t check it out until now, but it’s pretty cool. I know there are several of you who have mentioned how you like the t-shirts they wear on HIMYM and while I don’t recognize any of these from the show, it’s still pretty cool. Our friends Jason, Alyson, and Neil are in the slide show, each with a short description of why they like their shirt. I’m a huge rubber ducky fan (at one point I had 29 in my bathroom) so I’m especially fond of Alyson’s shirt. If anyone knows where I can get it let me know!

DVD Poster At Target

Voltaire sent me a little note to say that if you buy the season 2 DVD set at a Target store, the DVD’s come with an inspirational poster. It’s looks to be the same exact poster as the one hanging behind Barney in his office at the end of the Season 3 premier.  There are a total of 5 posters hanging behind Barney in the shot, but the one that Voltaire got seems to be the only one that looks different than the rest.  I wonder if it is the only one available with the DVD’s or if you get a random one.  Anyone else buy the DVD’s at Target care to chime in?
