‘The Slutty Pumpkin Returns’ Worst ‘How I Met Your Mother’ to Date

I wasn’t all that thrilled when I heard the Slutty Pumpkin was finally going to be revealed. I didn’t feel like this was a mystery that needed to be solved.

The whole point of the story was to showcase Ted’s optimism and hopefulness that he could possibly find the girl of his dreams despite less than ideal circumstances.

So revealing who this person was in a weirdly slutty costume would have a purpose right? After watching this week’s episode, apparently not.

We were baited into watching an entire episode only to learn (spoiler) that the Slutty Pumpkin and Ted have absolutely no chemistry at all.  And…that’s it? Nothing in the entire episode added to the rest of the season. None of the other story lines, none of the other characters, nothing at all.

I thought Ted might have a revelation that waiting for something to happen wasn’t going to get him anywhere, and that maybe he should be more active in finding his future wife. Apparently not.

Not to mention Marshall and Lily didn’t even dress up for Halloween so we didn’t get to see any epic costumes! Pregnancy brain? Really? Relying on gags such as, whoops left my keys in the freezer and ice cubes in my purse is really clever guys. You are a laughing goldmine.

The CW Cancels ‘H8R’! Now who saw that one coming? Besides everyone.

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT COMING BACK TO TV!

On Monday NBC unveiled its hottest prospect for a new hit sitcom, a show called “Whitney,” created, produced by and starring Whitney Cummings… Of her motivation to write and produce and act, [Cummings] said: “I didn’t see anything on TV for young, sexy, smart women to look at and say, ‘Yeah, I relate to that, I’m like her.’ It’s time. It’s time.

Portlandia is a really funny show.You’ll probably like it whether you like SNL or not.

Oh… Whitney

I’m gonna keep this short and sweet for ya okay?

The show felt rough. It’s like they were trying to cram a set-up and then a punchline into every scene, and once they did, they were onto the next scene. This made the scenes feel very rushed, and kinda cheesy.

This whole rushed feeling didn’t help the characters at all, because I have no idea why they are friends, or why they end up at this wedding. No discussion whatsoever about how they know the bride or groom.

I will say however that their friend Roxanne had some pretty good one liners.

Then, there’s this very generic plot accompanied by a slightly funny scene where Whitney dresses up as a naughty nurse and has her husband fill out actual health forms.

Somehow they end up at the hospital, where Whitney’s mother played by Jane Kaczmarek, WHO DOESN’T EVEN GET APPLAUSE WHEN SHE ENTERS THE SCENE (!) shows up and… yeah, I really didn’t see the point of it.

I am going to watch another episode and hope it gets better, because Whitney is responsible for writing Two Broke Girls, which is funny, and I am pretty sure Whitney herself is funny, so, maybe she just needs to find her way. If she doesn’t by the next episode though, I’m out!
