TED'S OUTLOOK ON HIS CONTINUING SEARCH FOR LOVE IS ALTERED BY HIS DISCOVERY OF A SHIRT THAT HAS NOT SEEN DAYLIGHT IN YEARS, ON A REBROADCAST OF "HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER," ON A SPECIAL NIGHT, THURSDAY, DEC. 15

"Return of the Shirt" -- Ted's whole outlook on his continuing search for love is altered when he rediscovers a shirt that has not seen daylight in years, on a rebroadcast of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, on a special night, Thursday, Dec. 15 (8:30-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Pamela Fryman directed the episode written by Kourtney Kang. (Originally broadcast 10/10/05)

As Ted re-connects to an old shirt that he once had no interest in, he sees a striking parallel to his love life. The shirt gets him thinking that maybe one of the girls from his past, who he thought was wrong for him at the time, is actually the perfect fit now, and he sets off to rekindle an old flame. Meanwhile, Barney amuses himself by coercing Robin into sacrificing her career by saying completely outlandish things on the air for a cash reward.
