‘How I Met Your Mother’ Meets Lifetime
January 5, 2009 by Chandra
Listen up, HIMYM fans. Tonight at 7pm EST, the fresh and funny sitcom is making its syndication debut on the women-centric network Lifetime.
Even better, the present schedule seems to indicate the episodes will rotate in proper broadcast order, at least initially, which is always a much welcome and infrequent bonus. Hooray!
Lifetime will offer two back-to-back episodes of How I Met Your Mother each Monday from 7pm to 8pm EST. First out of the gate tonight is the series-opening “Pilot,” followed by installment Number Two, “Purple Giraffe,” both of which chronicle the earliest stages of Ted’s relationship with Robin after he first meets her.
And, don’t forget: Although tonight’s episode on the series’ home network CBS is a repeat of the current fourth season’s premiere “Do I Know You?,” the comedy resumes airing new episodes next Monday, January 12, starting with “Benefits.”
Since I’m a diehard Mother fan myself, I’m thrilled to have not one, not two, but three whole opportunities to watch the show on TV each week, not to mention the chance to go all the way back to the beginning, to when the magic first started happening. You done good, Lifetime!
How I Met Your Mother airs Mondays on CBS at 8:30pm EST and now Mondays at 7pm and 7:30pm on Lifetime.
