In consideration for fans whose laughs gave way to tears at the end of the last How I Met Your Mother episode, "Bad News," CBS released Monday's episode, "Last Words," to critics for early review. If I had to bet, I'd bet they did so in the hope that we would assure you of exactly what I am about to assure you now: Everything is going to be OK.
As you know by now, or should if you're reading this, Marshall's father (played so endearingly by Bill Fagerbakke, whom, depending on your age group, you probably remember from Coach or Spongebob Squarepants) died suddenly of a heart attack in last Monday's episode, a shock that sent waves through the show and outward, leaving fans to question whether, and how, their favorite Monday night comedy would cope with such a serious topic and still, you know, remain a comedy.
