HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER is a comedy about Ted (Josh Radnor) and how he fell in love. It all started when Ted's best friend, Marshall (Jason Segel), dropped the bombshell that he was going to propose to his longtime girlfriend, Lily (Alyson Hannigan), a kindergarten teacher. At that moment, Ted realized that he had better get a move on if he, too, hopes to find true love. Helping him in his quest is his friend Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), a confirmed bachelor 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 has something else in store. The series is narrated through flashbacks from the future.

How I Met Your Mother (2005)
At one point it was my favourite sitcom. A great gang of likeable protagonists and every episode was like a dose of good mood. The first season made we want to be in New Your to live those funny moments together with Ted, Robin, Barney, Marshal and Lily, but then things get unnecessarily contrived, the characters don’t evolve at all (even if the show tries to claim they do) and the quality of the humour becomes noticeably lower. The first season of HIMYM was like real life, I felt that something like that could be happening across the pond, but now, at the end of the fifth season? HIMYM has become completely detached from reality, with events that could never happen, and I stopped rooting for most of the protagonists. The first two seasons or so were proper five stars, then it went down to four and I would give three stars to the fifth.
