How I Met Your Father

So far away from how I met your mother, those characters just not funny at all, a comedy with no comedian, not hard to understand why so many bad reviews.

They are laughing but the audience aren't.

Although the 1st episode was good, 2nd ep wasn't. But in comparison to how I met your mother, this show is disappointing. Yes, I will be Watching the upcoming episodes because of Hilary. I liked that they used the same theme song of HIMYM in the starting. I really want to like this show and hope they improve it!

Although they look so different from each other, I can't really tell the differences between them (personality, job,...). The characters can't show their own attractiveness. Just a bunch of people who are liking, hating, marrying each other. Like Disney's girl series.

Was it unnecessary? Absolutely, but this isn't bad. The moment you compare it to the original or listen to big fans of "How I Met Your Mother" you'll instantly dislike or be disappointed by this. It's not perfect, the problem, which unfortunately is a big one, is that it adopted its name from a fan favorite and those rarely ever live up to the name unless the fans were actually asking for it. HIMYM was a show a lot of people held close to their hearts.

Judging from the first couple episodes released so far(which isn't advisable) I'd give it a good 6/10, most definitely not a one or three; we've all seen actual crappy shows but this isn't one of them, if you manage to consider this as a separate show you might just be able to enjoy it. People abhorred this before it even came out so sadly it never stood a chance.

The pilot isn't that great but a lot of pilots have been awful - even the Seinfeld and Friends first episodes ain't that great. Remove the connections to its predecessor and give it a shot. It gets its groove better in the second episode. The cast gel well too. The negative reviews are based on having too high of a benchmark.
