HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
''Slapsgiving'' Nov 19. (CBS)
First, there's the trademark inside-joke lingo of the episode title, a
reference to a ''slap bet'' that awarded Marshall the chance to beat on
Barney at the gang's first Thanksgiving dinner together. Then there's
the deadpan casting of the 79-year-old Orson Bean as Robin's 41-year-old
boyfriend. Add in Ted and Robin's post-breakup hookup (and subsequent
heartbreaking conversation), as well as a closing sing-along, and you've
got a made-up holiday celebration that rivals any Chrismukkah or
Festivus. Jennifer Armstrong
