RETURNING SHOWS

How I Met Your Mother

Yet another show that has delivered week after week to very little fanfare--at least that was the case P.B. (pre-Britney). All indications are that Spears won’t be back, but people, HIMYM was funny before she arrived--funnier, even! It’s mind-boggling how an entire nation could be so enamored with a show like Friends but not its funnier, more with-the-times offspring. This is the season to jump on. The cast, which will apparently include Sarah Chalke (Scrubs) for the foreseeable future, is phenomenal, and the storyline--although, yes, gimmicky--is addictive by nature. Plus, Regis Philbin is guest-starring this season. Can you really resist the Rege? (premieres Sept. 22 on CBS)
