View Full Version : How I met your mother

This is offically one of my favourite sitcoms of all time. It is incredibly well written, and very fresh, it's something i can watch over and over again.
The abridged version? Ted Mosby tells his kids the story about how he met their mother. It's onto the third season now and still no mom in sight, but i hope he NEVER gets to that part, because i'm enjoying his escapes too much.
He also has very interesting and very funny friends, and soon you'll learn to love them.
Now to those of you who have seen it, how badly did you get goosebump with the World of Warcraft episode, and then subesequently laughed your ASS of at the WoW introduction online?
Man, this is really one of the best shows ever, i think it's safe to say it's the new Friends

I am busy with season 3 and must agree with you blinkster, it's a well written script and doesn't get boring.
Although my all time favourite was Californication with David Duchovny.
Voicy
12th March 2008, 03:21 PM
hmm.... i had the first season of this on dvd long before it came out on tv - somewhere in my pack of perfectly legal software. I've never bothered watching it. Maybe i should give it a go...

Well, i remember stool said he deleted it because the pilot episode was crap, but i must agree with Stool, the pilot episode was a bit lame. But by the third episode you're HOOKED!
I mean, i got TG hooked on it, and now he's got XEye hooked on it, man, it's really just a fantastic show, they are innovaters, they come up with new ways to make it brilliant so it stays ahead of the curve.
But the actors were so brilliantly chosen, they gel so well, it's like it's real life friends that decided to make a show.
i give it 9 stars and implore you ALL to get it and watch it!
(alb, you can come and get it anytime you want to, just phone to see if i'm there :p )

Neil Patrick Harris is one of the stars, yes.
So is Alison Hannigan.

Funniest for me was in the very first episode just after his first date with Robyn and they are asking him why he didn't kiss her. And he says she didn't give him a sign.
Barney says you don't need a signal, you just kiss her and then he leans over and kisses Marshall. And Mashall is all apologetic to Willow, saying that he didn't give Barney the signal.

It's difficult for me to pinpoint a best episode, but i remember i laughed the hardest at Season 2 Epsiode 16 where Barney put on his play and Marshall got up and gave him something. Swarley was brilliant, laughed the hardest when they played the themesong at the end. Or the one where they all chatted about their first time and Barney kept on quoting movies - especially dirty dancing.
It's a great, great, great, great show.

Barney always going on about his blog - then the one episode where he types on the exact same format as he used to in the Doogie Howzer series - with the same themesong nogal too - that just made it for me COMPLETELY!
oh btw, how many snotklappe does marshall have left?
One more thing ... what's your take on Britney Spears in the series? I'm not sure I dig it completely - although she does pull off a dumb blonde "act" quite well. :hmmm:
senorblinky
2nd June 2008, 11:06 AM
Ag no man, she's not bad, she's not singing, and she's wacky, so i have no complaints.
Somehow, Britney Spears is such a non issue in my life, i think doing HIMYM is the first notably worth thing she's done in the entertainment industry. Think about it.
See, if it was Sharon Stone/Angelina Jolie/Jennifer Aniston/The Vodacom Meerkat I'd probably stop watching the show all together.
Voicy
2nd June 2008, 11:09 AM
Valid point Blinky...
Oh - as for Barney's job. Whenever anyone asks him what he does - he laughs them off. I'm pretty sure we'll find out that he doesn't do anything, but since he acts so important - nobody dares to question him at the office.
Ramzjeet! party #3 !!!
Onyx
3rd June 2008, 02:45 PM
As I don't have all the episodes to date, I am not sure if any snotklappe have been dealt out again...
It didn't bother me at all seeing Britney... it was more like... "oh look, is that Britney? Awww, sweet, yes it is.... cool...." and then carrying on watching. I was more interested in watching was going to happen between doctor and patient.
We all know what happened to [-]Swarl[/-] Barney when his heart got broken, but we know nothing about what he now does for a living. It must pay well to have such a nicely furnished apartment and being able to afford suits, etc. Hope we find out soon.... and what the girl with the yellow umbrella looks like.

It's amusing in season 4, as the actresses who play Lily and Robyn are both pregnant, and the means that the directors use to hide that fact :) Although in one episode they expose "Lily's" very pregnant belly. :D

Marshall is my favourite. If they ever made a movie about my life or one of my friend's lives where i had to feature in, i want Jason Segel (Marshall :doh: ) to play me.
Skari, the first season is kak in comparison to what's about to come. i hurt myself laughing at some of their antics.
