Bottom Of The Barrel

It's going to be Legend... wait for it...

Well maybe not. It was confirmed today that Britney Spears is going to guest star on the March 24th episode of How I Met Your Mother. This is one of my favorite comedies on the air [well sort of on the air] right now and I have a bad feeling about this. Spears has been penned in as a receptionist in a dermatologist's office [named Abby] who becomes "smitten" with our hero Ted.

Here are, in no particular order, are several reasons this could be a problem and might be the episode we look back on and utter the phrase Jumped The Shark:

- The Spears of Madonna/Christina lip-locking fame would have been a good addition, the mental-break-down-in-the-middle-of-such-a-nasty-divorce-that-it-drove-her-to-shave-her-head, not so much.



- Britney could have the mental capacity to be a receptionist but never in the medical field, so I'm not buying it.

- The writers better give her some very good dialog or she'll just look like a dumb blonde from the south, wait she is, oh never mind.

- Spears is 26, Josh Radner is 33. Ummm that doesn't quite fit the overall storyline.

- Blodne Britney not really his type. Brunette Britney maybe. Bald and crazy Britney no F'in way.

- What would NPH do? Drop it like it's hot because of her low rating on the crazy to hotness scale.



Well let's hope that I am wrong and this is a great episode that launches HIMYM to it's rightful place in the top of the weekly TV charts and not into the abyss of canceled shows.
