HIMYM: Season 3 DVD news, Season 4 preview

Over the next few weeks I am going to be preparing you for the fall primetime line up by previewing and reviewing some of my favorite shows.

It should be well known by anyone who reads this blog that I am a huge fan of How I Met Your Mother. Season 3 may have been a down year for HIMYM, but it would have been pretty tough to out-do the first two seasons, and they still put out some really good episodes. The overarching theme to season 3 was single Ted. In the pilot episode Ted says, "I'm done being single. I'm not good at it." and he kind of proved it throughout the season. Ted had a sort of glass-shattering moment after the St. Patrick's Day episode, No Tomorrow, when he realizes what kind of roads the single life is leading him down. After falling in love with his dermatologist, Stella, played by Sarah Chalke (Elliot from Scrubs), he finally convinced her to go out with him by pulling off a two-minute lunch date. This was such a great moment because that was the Ted we had grown to love; the guy who over does everything and has a soft spot for romance. In the season finale, Ted closes the episode by proposing to Stella. Want to catch up? The Season 3 DVD is set to be released on October 7th. Here is a look at what to expect.

Season 4 premieres Monday September 22nd at 8:30/7:30c on CBS. The first episode takes off right where season 3 ended, with the cliffhanger ending of Ted proposing to Stella. As Stella makes her decision, Barney is recovering in the hospital. As he lies there, he realizes he is in love with Robin. Season 4 is set to begin with a story arch concerning Ted and Stella, but reports say that future of HIMYM most likely contains a lot more stand-alone episodes that don't drive the overall story like "The Pineapple Incident" or "Okay Awesome."

Along with this news, I would like to report that Regis Philbin is set to make a guest appearance on the second episode of the new season. Sarah Chalke will be back as Stella, and reports say that Wayne Brady will be coming back for another episode this year as Barney's brother James.

I get most of my HIMYM news from J D, the author of the blog "Have You Met Ted." I strongly suggest all HIMYM fans to check it out. http://have-you-met-ted.com
