How I Met Your Mother

i think its legen

wait for it




yea i like the show

Never seen an episode, but I keep hearing wonderful things about it. I wish it was on On Demand! Why no CBS?

And that's what I'll do if necessary. I just like starting out with the pilot when I get interested in a new show and watch them in order.


Not picky enough to go out and buy it though.

Makes sense, but you can probably just watch a random rerun on TV to see if you like the show. It probably will not ruin too much (hopefully), but I definitely understand wanting to watch it in order. If you have DVR, then do that and only watch the recording of the Pilot.

seems like this Generation's "Friends."

This generation? Friends ended in 2004, and HIMYM started in 2005.

There's definitely a generational gap between Friends and HIMYM.

HIMYM has been pretty strong through the seasons so far though last season kind of waned for me, mostly because CBS dicked with the new episode schedule for some unknown reason. They'd show an episode, show two weeks of reruns, trot out two new episodes, then take three weeks off and resume. I assume it was to milk it. This really hurt the show's popularity and last season had the worst numbers so far because of it.

I looked it up and it has nowhere near the viewership of Friends, but there are so many more god damn TV options nowadays that it's not surprising. If you recall, the last two seasons of Friends weren't that great either, especially when compared to its early golden years. HIMYM is having a hard time continuing its early magic as they try to mature each character appropriately. So far they're contracted through season 8, and the way the story's been going it looks like it could end then.

HIMYM is probably one of the better and more well-written of what's left of shows considered a traditional "sitcom".

The only thing I didn't like was Marshall's dad passing away. The way he found out was eerily similar to the way my dad found out about my grandfather's passing. That was a rough episode to watch as a family.

its coming to FX this fall

I started watching it based on so many ppl talking about it on here. I really enjoy it

Barney makes the show.
