It all starts when Ted's best friend, Marshall (Jason Segel), drops the bombshell that he's going to propose to his long-time girlfriend, Lily (Alyson Hannigan), a kindergarten teacher. At that moment, Ted realizes that he had better get a move on if he too hopes to find true love. Helping him in his quest is Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), a friend with endless, sometimes outrageous opinions, a penchant for suits and a foolproof way to meet women. When Ted meets Robin (Cobie Smulders), he's sure it's love at first sight, but destiny may have something else in store. The series is narrated through flashbacks from the future.

Sure the clever use of flashbacks and cutaways may not have quite the same impact they had when the show first started but episodes like 'The Playbook' and 'The Perfect Week', which must surely rank amongst the best the show has ever produced, are a perfect illustration of its unique brand of storytelling and it is very rare not to have a good few laughs along the way.… Expand

Season 5 of How I Met Your Mother was good but the show becomes very repetitive after awhile. The characters are great, especially Ted and Barney. They make for many memorable moments.

The experiment being whether or not the writers could prolong this incredibly popular series without (but certainly hinting at) developing the title storyline. The simple answer is no, they can't. I believe How I Met Your Mother will be an unfortunate lesson for all future writers. Don't base an entire show on a closed-ended premise like this. If it is something people will constantly want to know then holding out will just frustrate the viewers.… Expand
