September 30, 2008 StayTuned Staff

Synopsis: Marshall is down on his luck. Still unemployed, he goes out on a series of unsuccessful job interviews, for which his goals spiral from landing a position to just surviving and getting back home to nap in his “big” underwear. To top it off, his quest to find a restaurant — where eight years ago he had the best burger in New York — has been renewed, and it’s going just as poorly as the job hunt. (As it turns out, Marshall shares a passion for this particular burger with Regis Philbin.) Meanwhile, Barney is singing the praises of […]

Earl decides to make it up to the dead boy’s mother (played by Mindy Sterling, in a brilliant casting move).

And it was revealed last season that Bobby is incredibly wealthy! His family even owns a villa in Florence. As far as travel companions go, Bobby definitely had the most to offer. And romance? There has been potential between PJ and […]
