	Season 1 / Episode 19: - Mary the Paralegal Barney: Oh come on, if you don't laugh it just seems mean.

CONT: When we get a close-up at the TV while Sandy Rivers is reading the newspaper, we see an ashtray on the left side of the TV and some Tapes and DVD cases, but when Ted comes to pick up the "costumes", there are some canisters towards the left side of the screen (right from spectator's view) and a box (with the "costumes") appears right in front of the cases.

Guest-performer Alexis Denisof is cast-member Alyson Hannigan's real-life husband.
Mary says that she works at the law firm "Douglas, O'Halloran and Stamp". These are the names of the three people who played the Kryptonian villains in Superman (1978), Superman II (1980) and Superman II (2006) (V). Sarah Douglas (I), 'Jack OHalloran and Terence Stamp.
Ted and Marshall delight in mocking Robin's co-anchor Sandy Rivers due to a regular segment of his where he reads the news aloud from area papers. This is a joke on New York 1's Pat Kiernan and his daily on-air "In the Papers" feature.
Alyson Hannigan's husband (Alexis Denisof, also starring on Buffy and Angel) stars as a news reporter Sandy Rivers. The line: 'Really, I couldn't imagine you cranky', is a very funny line if you know they are married in real life.
