Katie Holmes Slutty Pumpkin Video: 'How I Met Your Mother' Halloween Episode Airs (VIDEO)

First Posted: 11/01/11 09:09 AM ET Updated: 11/01/11 06:11 PM ET

Katie Holmes

Ten years, seven seasons, a whole lot of pining and a furious amount of promotion later, the Slutty Pumpkin finally made her "How I Met Your Mother" debut on Monday night.

And, for Ted, it was pretty anticlimactic.

A one night love lost at a Halloween party ten years ago, Ted has been mourning the what-if since the first season of HIMYM. In Monday night's episode, he finally ran into the woman they call the Slutty Pumpkin (because, of course, she was wearing a pumpkin costume) and rekindled that love, grabbing hold of her gorgeous gourd for all it was worth. Which wasn't much, because by the end of the episode, it was on to the next could-be mother for the bachelor.

As he explains in this clip, Ted really likes the idea of his pumpkin lady friend, but the actual girl, not so much. But letting go is hard, especially after a decade of wondering "what if," and so the breakup, as it were, didn't quite so smoothly as our intrepid narrator had intended.

I thought she was leaving tom and church of scientology, and saving her daughter from the insane religion

She could be Tom's daughter. And the public complaines about Demi Moore? Unbelieveable!

Mr Cruise is a talented actor and he and Mrs Holmes seem to love each other so it's not an Ick it's called sleeping up. though there are cases where at the beginning of a marriage the wife is the bigger star Joanne Woodward is a prime example as she won a Golden Globe and an Oscar right after her and Paul Newman were married though he didn't show an ounce of jealousy and infact accepted the Globe on her behalf as she wasn't back from London yet due to the fact she had miscarried their first child during their honeymoon

Why are there TWO stories about this Stepford pretend "wife" of the teeny gay, dyslexic midget that is enmeshed in the $cientology cult ?























































Please remove these "stories."

Turned right at the moment she came on and I thought shw was funny, or at least funnier than I thought she might be capable of being as the wife of TC.

Sadly, with all of the effort made to promote the return of the Slutty Pumpkin, I found the storyline to be dull and uninteresting. I found the secondary storyline about Barney learning that he is 1/4 Canadian (after years of teasing Robin about her Canadian roots), and dealing with his Canadianess to be far funnier and more entertaining. Even the storyline about Lily's "pregnancy brain" was funnier.

The first SP episode was very good. I kept watching each episode hoping to find out who Ted would eventually marry but didn't happen. I heard Kate was very good as the SP and sorry I missed it.

I enjoyed the first appearance of the SP as well, and had hoped they would revisit it. I was disappointed by what I saw. I felt that is could have been done so much better. Most others revisits have been very well done, like the Robin Sparkles episodes ("Robin Sparkles", "Sand Castles In The Sand", and "Glitter"). Those just seem to get better and better.
You can see this one online for free on CBS.com

Sad that the writers had to do away with the SP in a one-episode story. Ms. Holmes did a great job.
