Love for the '80s aside, would you like to know what brings Barney's playbook out of the ashes for the latest 'How I Me

Tonight's all-new 'How I Met Your Mother' episode "The Ashtray" Will dip into the past a bit as Kyle MacLachlan's "The Captain" returns with an unusual request for Ted, but it's next Monday's "Weekend at Barney's" that will really go retro.

Late last month we were privy to the news that 'How I Met Your Mother' would be dipping into its past guest stars once again, as Kyle MacLachlan ('Twin Peaks,' 'Portlandia') would reprise his role as Stella's ex-husband George "The Captain" Van Smoot, appearing in Monday's "The Ashtray" with a mysterious request for Ted. Now, a new clip from the episode has made its way to the

Regardless of the additional season granted to 'How I Met Your Mother' fans, this coming Monday's all-new episode "P.S. I Love You" will prove an important part of the show's mythology, as Robin comes to grips with both her past as Robin Sparkles, and a new stage of her relationship with Barney. And what better way to show that, than with an all-new musical number? Preview the downfall a

It might be among the worst-kept secrets in TV about now, though while neither CBS nor 'How I Met Your Mother' series creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas have issued an official statement about the long-running comedy continuing on for a ninth and final season, series stars Josh Radnor and Neil Patrick Harris were all-too-happy to speak about the additional year. Will 'How I Met Your Mother' sea

The week seems to have come and gone without the expected announcement about a ninth season of 'How I Met Your Mother,' but that hasn't changed our anticipation for the coming run of episodes following mid-season tearjerker "The Final Page, Part 2."

'How I Met Your Mother' may have only just returned with its 2013 premiere "Band or DJ," and has even more engagement shenanigans planned for Monday's "Ring Up," but one upcoming episode we're most excited for will see the long-awaited return of Robin Sparkles! Earlier CBS announced that a cavalcade of Canadian guest stars would make an appearance in the return outing, but now

'How I Met Your Mother' will be on everyone's tongue in the next few days as series creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas dish on a potential ninth season over the weekend, while the series itself returns from winter finale "The Final Page, Part 2" with Monday's all-new "Band or DJ?"

Back when we thought the current season of 'How I Met Your Mother' would be the show's last, we knew co-creators and show-runners Carter Bays and Craig Thomas would return a number of past stars and characters alike, notably Robin (Cobie Smulders)'s famed Canadian alter-ego Robin Sparkles! And while we've still got a ninth season to go, Robin Sparkles' return will also include a cavalcade of Canad
