Make them laugh

Después de hablar de tanto drama, tanta intriga y tanta historia de terror, queda lo que más nos suele gustar más a todos: las comedias. Clásica serie de 20 minutos que ves siempre antes de ponerte a estudiar "porque una de 40 minutos es demasiado larga" (y luego te acabas viendo dos de 20...). Hay muchas, pero de las que voy a hablar ahora ya que aún no las he mencionado son New Girl, The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half men y, como no, How I Met Your Mother. 

After all the drama, mystery and horror stories, we gotta talk about what we usually do love best: comedy. I'm talking about the typical 20 minute-tv series that you watch before taking a nap 'cause a 40min one "is just too long" - (and afterward you finish watching other 20min episode...). There are many examples, but I am gonna talk right now of all those I haven't mention in my blog yet: New Girl, The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half men and, of course, How I Met Your Mother. 


Hace ya un año que comenzó la serie de New Girl, protagonizada por el bellezón de Zooey Deschanel. Para el que aún no se haya dignado a verla, trata sobre una chica un tanto rarita de 30 años que se muda a un piso con otros tres desequilibrados. Cada uno con sus manías y excentricidades, los 20 minutos que dura te deja siempre con ganas de más. Es de esas series que están comenzando, llenas de posibilidades y de historias que contar. Muy recomendable. 

It's been a year since New Girl began, starring the gorgeous Zooey Deschanel. For those who haven't seen it yet, it's about a quite weirdo girl of almost 30 who moves with the other guys. Each one with their eccentricities, this 20 minutes leave you wanting more. It's one of those tv series that have just started and are full of posibilities and stories to tell. Really recommendable. 



The Big Bang Theory continua con su ya sexta temporada igual de genial que siempre. A mi parecer tuvo un pequeño bache en la cuarta temporada, ya recuperado. ¿La trama? Pues va de parejitas. Bernadette y Wolowitz - ahora astronauta - acaban de casarse y en medio de su luna de miel. Volvemos con el clásico de Leonard con Penny, los cuales creo - y espero - que durarán poco. Amy Farrah Fowler sigue intentando convertir a Sheldon en un ser humano, tarea que todos sabemos que es imposible. Por último, Koothrappali ha abandonado a "Siri" de su móvil y a encontrado a alguien más afín, Stuart el de la tienda de comics. Por ahora ha comenzado bien, ya veremos cómo sigue.

The Big Bang Theory continues with it's sixth season as great as always. I reckon it had a rough patch in the fourth season, but it has recovered completely. The plot? It seems that this season is about couples. Bernadette and Wolowitz - now an astronaut - have just married and are in the middle of their honey moon. We are back to the classic relationship between Leonard and Penny, but I believe - and hope so - that it's not going to last. Amy Farrah Fowler is still trying to transform Sheldon into a human being, which we all know it's impossible. Lastly, Koothrappali left "Siri" and found someone, Stuart from the comics' shop. This season has started nicely, hope it last!

Two and a half men no ha vuelto a ser lo mismo desde el final de la octava temporada, con la prematura muerte de Charlie Harper - interpretado por el problemático Charlie Sheen -. Ashton Kutcher ha tomado el dificilísimo relevo de sustituir al personajazo de Charlie, y básicamente es un guaperas - eso era dificil ocultarlo - millonario que acaba de ser dejado por el amor de su vida. La serie sigue mereciendo la pena, aunque para las enamoradas de Charlie como yo es una decepción no verlo en cada capítulo.

Two and a Half Men hasn't been the same since the end of 8th season, with the unneccesary death of Charlie Harper - starred by the problematic Charlie Sheen-. Ashton Kutcher is the one in charge to sustitude the awesome character of Charlie... A role which isn't exactly easy. He's a millionaire handsome guy who has just been left by the love of his life. The tv series is still recommendable, but I warn the Charlie-Sheen-Lovers: it's a disappointment not seen him in every episode. 

He dejado para el plato final a How I Met Your Mother. Dudo sinceramente que esta serie necesite presentación. Ya hace dos temporadas (desde la muerte del padre de Marshall, como ya anticiparon los guionistas) que la serie ha dejado de ser una estricta comedia a volverse un poco más seria. Después de 8 temporadas, parece que finalmente vamos a conocer a la mitiquísima madre (ya vimos esta temporada una imagen suya en la que el paraguas amarillo solo le tapaba la cara), y menos mal, porque los guionistas ya lo están posponiendo demasiado.

Lastly, How I Met Your Mother. I seriously doubt there's anyone that doesn't know this tv series, so I'll keep for myself the presentation. It's been two seasons (since Marshall's father died, as the screenwriters had warned us) that this tv series stopped being just a comedy to become a little bit more serious. After 8 seasons, it seems that we are gonna meet -FINALLY - the lengen-wait for it- dary mother (we have already seen her except for the face, which was covered by the yellow umbrella), and thanks God, 'cause I was starting to get exhausted.



A cualquiera que le preguntes que la haya seguido desde el principio te dirá exactamente lo mismo. Que está bien, que te sigues riendo, pero que ha perdido muchísimo y quien realmente carga con el peso de la serie es el papelazo que hace Neil Patrick Harris como Barney Stinson. La gran pregunta respecto a HIMYM es si seguirá a no una vez que conozcamos a la futura señora Mosby, porque sería tela de "hardcore" que nada más verla nos saliera la musiquita con los títulos del final... 

If you ask anyone who has been watching the tv series since it began you would recieve the exact same answer. That it's still okay, you still laugh with it, but it's worse than it used to be, and the only character it's worthy is Neil Patrick Harris, starring the awesome Barney Stinson. The big question about HIMYM is if that the tv series will continue after we meet the future Mrs. Mosby, 'cause it would be lame that just after seen her the credits appeared...
