A pants episode

Any show with heavily features Robyn is asking for trouble. Cobie Smulders is beautiful but her character is so painfully unfunny it is unreal.

Probably the worst episode that this show has done. The show is uneven in quality, but this is a new low.

I just felt that the writers are struggling to come up with ideas for character, as we know she will not end up with Ted, but importantly do we care who she does end up with.

I think they need to Marissa her, to save the show.

Robyn is the weakest link, Goodbye.
