    Summary

    Reviewers say 'How I Met Your Mother' is acclaimed for its unique storytelling and blend of comedy and heartfelt moments. The narrative structure and character development, especially Barney Stinson, are praised. The ensemble cast's chemistry and themes of friendship and love resonate. However, some criticize later seasons and the finale for not meeting earlier quality, though many still enjoy the series.

    Really Funny!

    How I Met Your Mother will go down as one of the better comedies of all-time (and rightfully so) but there's no doubt as to who's the best part of the show and that's Neil Patrick Harris (Barney)! He steals every scene that he's in and is funny in just about every episode. The entire main cast (Harris, Josh Radnor, Jason Segal, Cobie Smuthers and Alyson Hannigan) is great which makes this show so funny. The first season isn't as good so you may have to power through it out it's well worth it. Also, as most have already said...it has one of the worst finales to a show in the history of television! If for some reason you're one of the few people who haven't seen this yet then I highly recommend you do. It's almost impossible not to smile and have a good time during this show.

    This show is fantastic!

    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.

    Neil Patrick Harris is great here

    How I Met Your Mother is one of those comedies that you can watch anytime it's on tv or even binge watch it and it will always be funny. The standout of this show is the hilarious Neil Patrick Harris as Barney. Not saying the rest of the cast isn't funny, because they all are, it a weak link on the show but Patrick Harris will go down as one of the all-time great sitcom characters. This has everything you want in a good sitcom, every episode will make you laugh out loud. Just be warned though, the ending is awful. Google worst tv show endings ever and i guarantee you How I Met Your Mother is on it. But being a sitcom it doesn't really take away from the show overall. It's still worth watching if you want a laugh.

    I hope this show is kept

    I don't know if I have enough to say to fill up ten lines. I basically wanted to say that I think this is a funny show, and I hope the network keeps it. I especially like the twists and sense of mystery.

    I've liked Alyson Hannigan for quite a while, and I think she's doing a great job in the first adult role I've seen her in (I can't believe she's already 31). I also think Doogie, I mean Neil Patrick Harris, plays his character really well. If you haven't seen him in "Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle", you should. Josh Radnor also does a very good job in his first leading role.

    I agree that everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, but I think this show has a lot of elements that make a good series: good plot, good writing, good acting, and attractive cast). I think previous series like "Friends" have raised the bar very high for new sitcoms, but I hope that even if a series isn't destined to become the next "Friends," it can still be recognized as a good and worthwhile sitcom.

    Legen...wait for it...dary!

    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.
