Two Minutes To Save Britney's Career
Posted by Seth at 3:53 AM on March 26, 2008
Last night, Britney Spears returned to her legitimate sitcom stunt-casting roots for the first time since her Will & Grace guest spot of two years ago. This go-around, she was called upon by lesser-threatening CBS comedy How I Met Your Mother to play Abby, a dermatologist's receptionist smitten with the show's main character.

Critical reception has been mixed, ("Britney the Trainwreck showed how she can still be Britney the Performer," gushed the AP, while Newsday threw its arms to the Heavens, demanding to know, "What was the point? To what end? Signifying what?"), but the desired effect was achieved: Mother hit an all-time ratings high with the episode. Seeing as we all lead busy lives, Defamer videographer Molly McAleer has compiled just the Britney moments for you, complete with handy timer: It amounts to a total of precisely two minutes, which, as Charo can attest, is all the celebrity guest-starring screen time you really need to turn around a flagging career.

Sadly she was funnier than much of the rest of the regular cast, but NOT NPH! He is the only reason to watch the show. The rest of them acting make my annual pap smear look fun.

It's like watching a skit from the Mickey Mouse Club all over again...

Maybe not an award-winning performance, but cute! Can she be a minor recurring character?

First she starred in the South Park season premiere and now this! Too bad she couldn't make the guy who plays Ted any less boring.

I watched it for the first time last night and had to ask myself too "What was the point? To what end? Signifying what?" ... about the show. What terrible, stiff writing & acting. Britney did the best she could with what she was given.

I don't know about you, but I see a Disney sitcom offer in her future! Maybe a Disney Channel sitcom could launch her career!

well it got me to log on to cbs.com and watch the show. I've only seen a couple episodes thanks to an Emmy screener I picked up. I've never had an inkling to venture over to cbs.com until last night.
fun episode. Britney didn't give the most interesting delivery (her character's lines had lots of guffaw potential), but she did a nice job and it was fun to see her coherent.

Charo on Dancing with the Stars - now THAT's a good show dammit.

She definitely has potential to be part of the cast of "The Hills".
