This show is legen...... wait for it.......... dary.

Just started watching How I Met Your Mother last week and im completely addicted to it. Im almost at season 2 ending already.

My friend kept telling me how good it was but i was never really into these kind of tv shows. Im so glad i started watching it. Its no doubt on my top 5, maybe 3 tv shows of all time.

And Barney is hilarious, i love that guy. The actor does a great job with this character.

inb4 he is gay in real life you know?

yeah i know that.

He is easily one of my favorite if not my favorite TV show character of all time.

Whos with me OT? If you dont watch this show, just start, like...now.

I recently got into the show, too, and was really surprised. I still can't stand Ted or Robin, but everyone else makes the show worth it. I need to go back and watch it from the beginning.MichBelle
Whats wrong with Ted? He is awsome. After Barney he is the best.

Oh. Now I see. This show is definitely 'for you' then/you are the target audience.

It's generally tough for me to get into sitcoms that have a laugh track. All shows I seem to like tend to not have one (Community, Always Sunny, Parks & Rec, etc). The notable exception in my case would be Big Bang Theory. Though I do like one or two of the actors in HIMYM, I've not seen more than one or two episodes.

I cant, I try but I hate modern jokes so much. I think the show goes way too overboard with the amount of modern slang it does that it makes the show unbearable for me.

I wish there was some way to remove the laugh track :(
A special feature on the DVD version that turns them off would be great...

I've seen a few episodes of it. It seems funny, but I haven't gotten into it.

I got into it for a while, but it got boring after a while. Some of the humor is just flat and the stories poorly defined.

lmfao also I can never understand how Ted will grow up to be Bob Saget. But anyway i think its the best multi-camera sitcom with a laugh track out right now but there's several other sitcoms i prefer over it.

I like the premise, but the execution leaves much to be desired. Having a plot that can go on forever (and most likely will until a last-minute series finale ends the show with an anti-climax) and a laugh track pretty much kills the show. Nothing says "this show isn't funny" like a laugh track.

It is pretty funny, but after a few seasons of the premise (telling about how he met his wife) gets extremely thin. Its also very tiring having to watch the show and just know that many of Ted's "relationships" arent going to go any further simply because of the little hints we have been given, so why should we care? The show is really held to together by Marshall, Lily, and Barney....

I usually hate sitcoms but for some reason I enjoy this one. I to saw a rerun for the first time about a month ago. I think it's Barney that I find so funny even though it's just a tamer version of his character in Harold and kumar. For your information Netflix streaming just added it into the available titles. All seasons I believe

It's one of my favorite shows, if not my favorite. And you're right, Barney Stinson is the best character out of any TV show, ever. Even better than Dwight Schrute or Phil Dunphy or Tom Haverford or even George Costanza.

So I Love Lucy, Dick Van Dyke All in the Family, MASH, Roseanne, Cheers, Frasier, 3rd Rock from the Sun, That 70's Show, Seinfeld, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, and Monty Python's Flying Circus are all shows that are terrible and unfunny? :roll:

I gave it a chance and didn't like it. I don't like laugh tracks either but I liked Seinfeld so I still give them a go. Seinfeld is still the only laugh track show I like.

that show is f***in' terrible.

It's a pretty popular show. When it's coming to an end it's going to be a big deal. She could start watching then or she could just check up on the internet or something.
