Neil&Cobie being hot and robin/barney news
Neil Patrick Harris and Cobie Smulders at the CW/CBS/Showtime/CBS
Television TCA party at Hollywood club Boulevard3 on Friday.
Also, here's an interview with Craig Thomas about HIMYM and Robin/Barney.
You've been building to Barney and Robin since the Laser Tag episode in season one.
We have. It's been two years coming, we don't need to stretch it out any longer than that. Neil's so amazing with her, Cobie's so amazing with Neil. Lily's going to play into it a bunch, as the only one who can tell something's a little odd about Barney, something a little different than before the bus hit him. It's fun to see her recognize him.
Do you think at this point the fans are more invested in Robin and Barney than in Ted and whoever the mom turns out to be?
I think fans have been watching Robin and Barney for two years, so until we say someone's the mom, the fans aren't going to freak as much about that as they are about Barney with Robin. And that's fine with me. The fans are invested in the mom no matter what we do, but Barney and Robin, that glance he took at Robin, I'll be honest, that was thrilling to us. That was a great little grace note in our finale and it's given us a lot of rocket fuel for our first six.
What can you tell me about what happens next season?
We're not going to jerk the audience around. Our premiere gets right to it on both cliffhangers: on the proposal cliffhanger and the Barney longing look at Robin cliffhanger. Maybe we're not milking it enough, as a lot of shows do very well. We're just diving into that in episode one. A-story, B-story, just picking up on Ted and Stella and Barney dealing with those feelings. Let's get right to it and give the audience what they want.
