Spears guest spot a ratings record

Spears guest spot a ratings record

Britney Spears' guest appearance on 'How I Met Your Mother' on US TV on Monday night helped the comedy achieve its higher viewership of the season, and means the show will be renewed for a fourth series.

The Hollywood Reporter says that the Spears-starring episode attracted around 10.6m viewers on Monday night; the show usually averages 7.8m.

In the episode Spears played a dermatologist's secretary called Abby.

The New York Daily News said of her performance: "Spears proved she can act every bit as well as she can sing."

The New York Post said: "Brit looked slim, (OK she was behind a desk), trim and gorgeous."

Good for her. After her parents took over, Britney's life is less chaotic.

Didn't see it, but I saw her on SNL.


If she can stay off the tweak, she might still have a career ahead of her.

:uarrow: I agree, if she can stay alive and clean, she could have a decent career.

Personally, I was amazed at her collapse. I thought that once she had her two kids she'd jump right back on the career wagon. I hope she can pull it all back together now, after recovering from her problems. :)

IMHO her problems are partially media fueled.

I think you're right. The constant hounding she took led to a spiral of depression and drug use. I'm glad that it appears she is shrugging those problems off now.

Funny thing is this - if you're a HIMYM fan, you barely noticed Britney. Because she wasn't playing the role of main character/guest that night. That role went to Sarah Chalke (who did a wonderful job, IMO). So much so that you asked yourself - Britney who? LOL

But hey I'll take the added ratings, if they occurred. I just hope guest stars such as Britney Spears do not continue. I hate to say it, but she really added nothing to the plot.

I don't watch the show, but I saw Sarah's role. I actually thought it was Scrubs at first.

She will always be Elliot to me.

Scrubs is the best show ever, man.

I'd have to give that title to the Daily Show or the Colbert report :wink:

Britney still has a lot of fans and only her presence will increase dramatically the audience of any show.
