Doogie Howser: Keep Britney off my show!

April 11th, 2008 // 80 Comments

Neil Patrick “The Doogs” Harris doesn’t want to see another Britney Spears cameo on his show How I Met Your Mother. Even though she scored the show its highest ratings ever with a bump of over 1 million viewers. But Doogie doesn’t see what’s so great about people actually watching the show and keeping it on the air. Who needs that? The AP reports:

“I worry that if they start `Will and Grace’-ing us too much, that the show will suffer. And we’re all really proud of the content of the show. I mean, viewership is not our game. It’s the network and the studio’s game, you know. It’s the promotion department’s game,” the actor, who plays womanizer Barney, told The Associated Press.
“We wish we weren’t opposite an awkward reality dancing competition,” he said. “But we have no say about that. I just am a real fan of our content. I think we have a great show going, and I hope it’s not screwed up by the desire for 700,000 more viewers.”

Translation: Neil Patrick Harris is an idiot and probably shouldn’t talk. Damn, I thought you were a boy genius, Doogs! I even let you give me a physical. Which reminds me, were those leopard briefs you made me wear really a medical necessity? I mean, I understood you had to cover me in chocolate sauce to make sure I didn’t have polio. I know how science works.

    Oh, I like your usual commenting, I find it so funny. But why did you have to bash him?, I think his comments were totally cool and logical, One thing is to have a good show content by making the *CONTENT* good, and another thing is making a show to have lots of viewers but crappy content.

    What’s with those ski goggles she’s wearing?

    49, you’re blatantly retarded. Barney is not a closeted gay you silly shit. He’s a hippie tourned serial womanizer and, at that, one of the funniest characters on television.

    NPH is right! Britney does not belong any where near that funny show……she would eventually ruin it like everything else she has touched……..

    @15 you gotta give cora some credit here, she’s integrating some new language into her spam. a for effort, cora!!!! flash her vagina, good one! original!

    Binky, Fake Binky’s comment was pretty good.

    Doogie Howser is apparently an “artiste”. What a dick.

    #58, the Doogster is a flamer. Loves him some beefstick. So, his character being a womanizer is less funny, less real, because we know he likes the peepee. Just sayin.

    Plus, he’s just jealous that most of his gay buddies would rather be with Britney than with him. And do you blame them?

    Spears has some really fat arms

    Go NPH! The only reason there was a spike is because of the fucking train wreck of a star that Britney is. If she was regular on the show no one would care, well maybe the Britbots would. I long for a day when the only time we hear about her is on a “What ever happened to?” special.

    Has Britney gotten breast implants? Her boobs look bigger and higher and she hasn’t been braless lately.

    What the hell is the matter with Kneel Patrick Hairass?

    “…viewership is not our game…”…???

    Is he really stupid enough to think the number of viewers who tune into a tv show are irrelevant and of concern to only the network and the studio?

    Who the fuck needs him!? They ought to fire him just in case his cretinism is contagious. Frankly, I wouldn’t cross the street to see him. But Britney? Hell, I’d walk across the street and down the block to see her…even if she was fully clothed.

  18. Wrong info

    He didn’t said that! It was the guy who plays Ted!!

    I think he was saying a short term gain would be a long term loss. I gimmick is only good if it stays a gimmick. Too many “guest appearances” removes focus from the show and onto the gimmick.

    She is cute and sexy. She is also my favorite. I saw her profile on “SeekingRich.com”yesterday. It is said she is dating a young billionaire on that site now.

    I like her shirt. At least I really like the color…. maybe she’ll start listing all of her clothes on ebay! like the how i met your mother wardrobe.
    but that would be ew.

    Please, Neil Patrick Harris is in those “Harold and Kumar” movies. Yet they’re all really proud of the content of the show…

    I think that speaks volumes for the content of the show. I’m glad I’ve never seen it. Now I never will.

    Awesome reporting, Superfish! You’ve saved me from yet another time-suck. Thank you!

    I think his comments were cruel and unncessary in the public arena; he should have kept his beefs between himself and the producers.

    Doogie smokes dicks.

    Questions?

    Niel Pattrick Harris rocks! I can’t wait for Harold and Kumar 2

    Doogie may like wieners in his buns, but he is RIGHT.

    I would rather be cancelled than have 700,000 more viewers watch just because they are addicted to tabloid trash.

  28. Holy crud! Spears arms are really fat and she has a bra on!
