Romantic comedies depend on appealing actors, and these five are irresistible.
The series’ cast remains one of the better sitcom ensembles of the past decade.

As a fan of How I Met Your Mother, I can confidently say that this show is a true gem. The witty writing, lovable characters, and heartwarming moments make this sitcom a must-watch for anyone in need **** laugh or a heartfelt story. But what really sets this show apart is its daring finale.
The final episode of How I Met Your Mother sparked controversy among fans, with many criticizing the show's decision to end the series in the way that it did. However, as someone who enjoyed the ending, I believe that it was the perfect way to bring the story full circle. The show's creators took a bold risk in deviating from the expected ending, and it paid off.
Throughout the series, we follow the journey of Ted Mosby, a lovable romantic who is on a quest to find his soulmate. Along the way, we meet a cast of unforgettable characters, including Ted's best friend Barney, his on-again-off-again love interest Robin, and his long-time friends Marshall and Lily. The chemistry between the characters is palpable, and the show does an excellent job of exploring their relationships and individual journeys.
The final episode of the series ties together all of the loose ends in a way that is both satisfying and emotional. Without giving away any spoilers, I will say that the ending left me feeling fulfilled and content. It was a fitting conclusion to a show that had given us so much joy and laughter.
Overall, I would give How I Met Your Mother a 10/10. This show has everything that you could want in a sitcom - humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia. And although the ending may not be to everyone's taste, I believe that it was a brave move that only adds to the show's legacy. If you haven't watched this show yet, I highly recommend that you do. It's legendary.

Manages to get the balance of cuddliness and snark just right.
Time will tell if viewers take to this quintet as completely as they did [Friends'] Central Perk crew... but it seems as if How I Met Your Mother is the most legitimate knockoff yet of that youthful-urbanite juggernaut.
There are a number of annoying little things, and a few big ones, sprinkled throughout these two [opening] episodes, but they get the biggest thing of all absolutely right: the Mother.
A viewer-friendly diversion.
Cloying [and] lackluster.
How I Met Your Mother is my all time favourite sitcom, and one of my favourite shows...

Barely watchable. Barney is the only person who is funny, rest of them seem to forgot they are acting in a comedy. The main character (the architect) is a moron. None of his decisions make any sense, he just goes wherever his **** guides him. For a person who is looking for a long term relationship, it's a very poor strategy. This show made me question my sanity more times than it made my laugh, not what I'm looking for in a comedy.

I started watching this show and all I can say is wow! Barney is my favorite character by far! He reminds me of my uncle, always on the move for something greater. Though Barney is something I don’t think I can say here, my uncle wasn’t. He was consistent with what he did. He’s also really good at what he does. What does he do you may ask. Well I’ll tell you he works for. But that’s not the only reason I like Barney. I like him because he’s funny. That one couple I can’t remember the name of. Weird and I’m funny. Especially that one episode where they were trying to find a subtitle rug for their kitchen, and the had *** on a sample. What did they do with it? Did they take it back to the store? I certainly hope not. And that other guy, the architect. He is certainly weird, and awkward. If I had a daughter I would certainly ever let him near. I dated an architect once and that was basically how he acted. He might as well BE him. Childish and not good. I will never date an architect again. They ruin everything. Every building they walk by they complement it. Ughhh! No, never again. That’s why Barney is the best! He’s slick and lovable! Anyway other than that amazing show 9/10!
