How I Met Your Mother

A father tells his teenagers the story of how he met their mother. However, Ted is not known for brevity, and this saga covers his entire love life from college to marriage. The sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" shows us a decade in the lives of five friends. Ted is an eternal romantic in search of The One, Barney tries to bed all the women in the world, Marshall is Ted's roommate, who has been in a relationship with Lily since college, and the fifth member of the gang is Robin, Ted's failed romance that turned into friendship.

The series is very similar to the cult "Friends" in almost all aspects, so much so that it could technically be characterized as plagiarism. But they are essentially very different. "How I Met Your Mother" has a different atmosphere, a different sense of humor, and more lifelike characters that are easier to identify with. Some moments are pure pathos, some quite philosophical, and many brought tears to my eyes from laughter. The first few seasons are a masterpiece of a sitcom, while later the series has its ups and downs, but at no point has it fallen so low that I even think about giving up. Only the grand finale in the last two episodes disappointed me a bit, because here the series completely changed its tone and went into waters that have nothing to do with the previous nine seasons, but they redeemed with a couple of nice plot twists.

All in all, for those who haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. I enjoyed it more than "Friends".

8,5/10.

Hands down the best show I've ever watched. The gang are simply amazing. You can't help but love each single character. The plot has been flawless even though I'd have loved a better ending but I believe it's the most sensible one since they had to shoot it after season 2 so that the kids don't look older 7 years later. The writers have done such a great job and The fact that they've covered every single detail in the show makes it terrific.

I love this show!! It's one of the best sitcoms on the air and one of the best CBS shows!!! I disagree with the other comment - Barney is the best character. He's the funniest person on the show. I love how the entire ensemble has chemistry together!! It actually feels like they're friends in real life. And I don't think they need new writers, they just need to grow a little more. This show gets better with time. I laugh so hard with the show that my sides hurt every time I watch. I recommend this show to anyone that has a great sense of humor and wants to laugh until their sides hurt. I hope that this show has a long run on the air.

Watched the show, thought "Hm, I haven't decided if it'll stay or not". But then the next day, my husband and I are quoting it and want to watch it again.

We try again the next week, again with the quoting. I haven't watched a show where there are lines that stick with me like this for a very long time. The show wouldn't be anywhere without "Barney", but somehow none of its faults matter because I enjoy it just too darn much. Every episode there's a new line, haven't been disappointed so far, hoping it continues and gets even better.

I mean come on, with lines like: "Suit up!" "Phone Five!" "Not awkward guys, its only awkward if we make it awkward"

And the numerous variations of "suit up" are a hoot "Snow suit up!" "Flight suit up" I gotta say, I just enjoy it.

There isn't great philosophy, it has a laugh track, but I don't miss it and end up watching the episode a couple times because its the only things worth watching sometimes.

What can I say about this show? The cast is awesome. The writers rock. The show is great. My favorite character is Barney. He is probably the main person I watch the show for. He is funny and brings a certain "something' to TV that it needs. It is totally the best new comedy in awhile. While it does have a laugh track - it isn't needed. Bob Sagget is right at home on this show playing the Dad. I think it is very fitting for him to be playing that role. The rest of the cast is great also. The guy who plays Ted is great at being the 'every day' guy and Marshall and his soon to be wife, Lilly are perfect together. As for Robin, well she is Robin and there is nothing wrong with her. I think everyone on this show including the regular cab driver are great. This show has everything and I hope everyone gives it a chance. I love it. It is legendary. Till next week Barney.
