Britney's Not Dead Yet!

I mean, her career's not dead. Yet. It's open for debate whether an appearance on a TV sitcom is evidence of career decline or career revival, but whatever the case, Britney's appearance on How I Met Your Mother seems to have been a success by ratings standards. Note I said "seems."

According to press reports, Monday’s episode of How I Met Your Mother, which featured Britney in a cameo appearance, "earned the CBS comedy its highest ratings ever:"

"How I Met Your Mother drew 10.67 million overall viewers, the most this season, including a 3.6 rating/11 share in the 18-34 demo and a 5.4 rating/14 share in the 25-54 demo, both series highs."

That said, despite the Britney boost, How I Met Your Mother finished behind Dancing with the Stars on ABC and did not draw as many viewers as Two and a Half Men or drama CSI: Miami.

And that, I think, tells the real story: Britney is still relevant, but maybe not as relevant as ballroom-dancing D-listers, Jon Cryer and David Caruso.

Make of that what you will.

How Britney Spears Met Your Mother

Last night America's sweetheart did something and the press was, get this, positive! I didn't know people were still capable of giving kudos to Spears. She did a guest spot on How I Met Your Mother and apparently her acting and timing are the beginning of better things for the mother of two. Look out, K-Fed, your One Tree Hill can't touch this. Britney will have the kids back by Thursday.

I didn't see the episode, due to the fact that I boycott all things Britney Spears and/or CBS (they know why), but it's nice to hear she may be coming out of her tailspin (Tailspin, now there's a good show).
