Featured reviews
My favorite show on TV behind only Seinfeld.
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.
Grows on you
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.

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.
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.
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.
