SHIT MY DAD SAYS - SEASON 1 EPISODE 1

Wow I was surprised with this show, it is entertaining, comedic and with that something that everyone enjoys! With just this one first episode to work off of the rest of the season should be brilliant if they continue in this line - let's hope they keep the streak alive and don't drop the ball after only a few episodes.

Henry played by Jonathan Sadowski is a writer who gets laid off from the magazine he was working at and has to move in with his father, a retired navy medic portrayed by the always enigmatic William Shatner while he tries to rebuild his life and career in the process so with that hilarity ensues!



It is a thrill ride of laugh a minute jokes and I believe if done correctly it might just become as big as How I Met Your Mother, but then again with William Shatner in the lead who would be able to dispute that fact.

Intriguingly enough Jonathan Sadowski doesn't stay in Shatner's shadow, he brings his own element into the show which might even rival that of the great Shatner. Using such a unknown actor was a big gamble but I believe it has payed off - the barbs between the leads are brilliantly written and even better coming from the chemistry between these two.



The brother and his wife are a bit overdone, but comedic none the less and all shows should have more than two characters but with the two leads as they are - it couldn't be better. I was laughing at almost every joke and had to wipe the laughing tears from my eyes more than once.

Absolutely brilliant - a solid 9/10

HIMYM S1 EPISODE 1

Hi guys,

As promised, I will be doing the review of the first episode of season 1 of How I Met Your Mother with my favourite quote and Barney-ism.
To start off we have to meet the gang - Ted Mosby the hopeless romantic, Marshall Erikson the ever faithfull boyfriend/fiance/husband, Lily Aldrin the beer guzzling crude mouthed hottie, Robin Scherbatsky the gun mad canadian popstar and Barney Stinson the always entertaining womanizer.

Starting off the episode Marshall and Lily get engaged - Ted meets Robin for the first time and Barney has a new favourite type - Lebanese girls. The gang goes about their daily life as we find out they live above a bar - MacClarens pub and Barney always wears suits. Ted and Robin go on a first date and tells her he loves her - the idiot. Overall we discover it's Ted's life story and how he is going about in his life and how he met his wife with all the longwinded stories that come along - much to his future kids dismay!

My favourite quote from this episode is:
Lily and Marshall rush out of the apartment into a taxi - with Lily holding her eye after Marshall opened a bottle of shampagne and shot her on the eye.
LILY: Hit me? Please this guy can barely even spank me in bed for fun. He's all like "oh honey, did that hurt?" and i'm like "come on let me have it you pansy" WOW complete stranger
DRIVER: No no no no, it's ok, go on. So these spankings, you in pajamas or au naturale?

Hilarious - it's so funny! But it's actually very difficult to single out only one quote from a episode because if I have to put in all my favourite quotes 90% of the episode will be entered into this blog.

My Barney-ism of the episode is:
Disproving to Ted a person doesn't need to wait for a signal to kiss someone - he GRABS MARSHALL AND PLANTS A TONGUE TWIRLING KISS FULL ON THE MOUTH - much to the surprise and horror of Marshall.

Anyway I can definitely see why this series has achieved cult status - just by viewing the first episode - it's definitely LEGEN ... wait for it ... DARY!!
