With the Internet and smartphones pervading his and his friends' lives, doing an online search of people just met, especially dates and potential dates, is the norm for Ted. Although it was originally Barney and Robin who did this searching for him, the background searches have saved him a lot of grief in the past in uncovering skeletons which are automatic deal-breakers for a relationship. Ted decides to go back to the 20th century after he makes a date with Janet McIntyre, a woman he has just met. They made a pact not to Internet-research each other to allow that first date to be one of true exploration. But Ted making this agreement doesn't stop Robin and Barney from Internet-searching on his behalf. When they find some juicy information about Janet while Ted is already on his date with her, they text Ted on his smartphone and Ted must decide if he'll look at what Robin, Barney, and even Lily believe is "for the love of God!" information. Meanwhile, with the ultrasound completed, ...

I didn't really like the story about Lily and Marshall not wanting to find the gender of their baby. The show went over the top trying to make it look as if it is bad to have gender neutral rooms and not rise the kids stereotypically as boys and girls. As I said before Robin who is so damn cool should be happy she wasn't raised as a lame girl. And yes the color in the room was ugly, but just use a better one. You know, there are much better looking colors besides pink and blue.

The only fun part was Ted's story. And the only really fun part about it was trying to figure out what is wrong with his date as well as his reaction at the end.

Another poor episode of "How I Met Your Mother". It's rare for the show to have two stinkers in a row, but hey ho

Plot in A Paragraph: Ted agrees to go on a date without researching each other on the Internet beforehand, Barney urges Marshall and Lily to find out and reveal the gender of their child, and Kevin tries but fails to avoid passing judgment on the group.

MY GOD!! Kal Penn can not act!! He is awful, his delivery is cringeworthy, and his character is not that interesting either!! He ruins every scene he is in, which is a lot of them. For the first time in a while I enjoyed the Ted storyline (Truthfully I have lost all interest in him and Robin as characters) its Neil Patrick Harris, Alyson Hannigan and Jason Segel that keep this reviewer watching.
