So, I don’t really know a lot of people watching How I Met Your Mother on Monday nights on CBS. Which I think is too bad since it’s smart, funny, and totally on target. It revolves around 5 almost-30 somethings that live in New York City. The main guy, Ted, is the narrator. The show is his character looking back on 2007 from the future and telling his kids the story of how, you guessed it, he met their mother.
We’re in season three and he hasn’t met her yet, but I’m still hooked. As a 30-something in New York, the storylines resonate – and where shows like Friends were fun to watch, this one is so much more realistic. The jokes made are ones my friends and I have made before. While the jokes on Friends were funny, they weren’t realistic in the slightest.
Last night’s episode involved each character realizing that “one annoying thing” about each of the other characters. Lily chews loudly, Ted is always correcting people, etc. It was very well done and if you have 22 minutes or so, I suggest checking it out.
Sidenote: I also LOVE the clothes that Alyson Hannigan wears on the show.
Stumble It!

I agree. The show is so witty and smart. I’ve been watching since the beginning and I am hooked. What is interesting is that the show technically revolves around how Ted meets the mother but really I don’t think anyone cares because the cast and the involved story lines around the other characters carries the show beyond the main point of how Ted and said mother meet.

I love this show and also believe it is underrated. I started watching on the recommendation of a friend and have continued spreading the word. Hopefully this post gets others to tune in as well.
PS My favorite was the pineapple episode!
