yaaseenvalli Even though I got round to watching all of the episodes of HIMYM pretty late on, I was always aware of the show because I'd see it on TV but never pushed myself to watch it all from the beginning to the end, and I can now say that it is one of the best TV shows that I have ever seen, it really is as barney would say, AWESOME! Honestly, there aren't enough adjectives to describe how great this show is. It has everything, countless laughs, witty jokes, the relationship between the characters is amazing and the casting couldn't have been better, and it has a little bit of emotional bits every now and then which is needed I suppose to keep things into perspective.Overall, I can say this show is LEGEN... wait for it... DARY!!!

janerosslj Okay sure. It's funny. Has the similar issues we can go through. Watching your friends get married. Jumping from relationships, work life ect. But S1 E14 is the one that broke the camels back. There are plenty of episodes that are funny and relatable. Unfortunately, there are some that are a complete waste of time and realistically, don't make any sense. The sound track is child ish. Good story line, but I'm afraid I just can't seem to commit and follow through. I can't believe they made 9 seasons of this. If you like to watch someone without thinking to hard about it, watch this. But I'm pretty picky with my shows. Brilliant acting, but the soundtrack and some corny scenes ruin it for me.

vasudevsharma-33977 I honestly cannot summarize the experience of watching this show into few words , but I'll try my best to do so :)Initially 'How I met your mother' felt like any other sitcom. It was quite fun to watch , but the more I watched , I simply fell in love with the show.The chemistry of characters is simply mind blowing , the puns and punches are top notch , the dialogues are absolutely brilliant ,but these are just the sidelines.HIMYM is a very powerful show , there were times I was laughing hard and some times I teared up. At the end of each episode I found myself smiling. Each episode tells you something , I have never seen this is any other sitcoms out there.Therefore this is not an average sitcom. I have seen many people categorize this show as 'Drama comedy' which is incorrect in my opinion. It is simply 'Slice of life' also many people compare this show with F.R.I.E.N.D.S , and trust me F.R.I.E.N.D.S is great , it is an overall perfect sitcom. Yet the unique Slice of Element of HIMYM hits you hard , that is something none other sitcom has ever done.'How I met your mother' is an absolute gem , I'm glad that this show exists. If you haven't watched/completed it I HIGHLY recommend to go finish it.as for me I'll be rewatching it , every year :)

friekie6 This show has a lot of issues, with the main character Ted just barely being the worst. He's obsessive when it comes to Robin, in an unhealthy way, and every other relationship he's had since meeting her have ended because of this obsession. It's hard to meet 'the right one' when he won't allow himself to forget Robin. Luckily the writers had a solution for that when it came to the actual mother: kill her off. In a 15 second scene where they don't bother to explain what's going on (because, let's face it, Tracy actually looks healthy lying in that hospital bed), they completely destroy everything they've worked up to for years just so Ted can finally be awarded for continously screwing up everything in his life for a woman whom he finds too independent and who's never wanted kids. Guys, just because she comes to visit him & his kids to have dinner, does not equal wanting kids. If she wanted kids, she would've had them with whatever guy came after Barney.Now that we're at Barney: Whatever the writers were thinking, it wasn't anything good. They wanted a womanizer and instead created a monster with daddy issues so deeply disturbing that not even marrying Robin could get rid of it. Because of course there was a divorce and he's lost all his hope in love because of that. Like, dude, go see a shrink you don't bang in the end. The many conquests achieved through ridiculous lies may seem funny if you look at it superficially, but even then it's just a way to portray how stupid women can be and how easily they're seduced if there's a 'hot guy' involved. To anyone who thinks that Barney is the way to treat the other sex: don't ever talk to the other sex.Honestly I could go on and on about the problems with each individual character, but I'll leave you to rewatch the episode where Robin's ex-psychiatrist shares what he thinks of the group and leave it at that.If you believe in true love and romance, I highly suggest you don't watch this show. Unless you want to get an idea of how to turn love into a disturbing obsession, then go for it of course.
