Synopsis

Ted Mosby is a bachelor who gets a wake up call when his best friend Marshall announces his plans to marry his longtime girlfriend. Told in flashback, the story follows Ted as he sets about finding his perfect match, armed with the less-than-reliable advice of his friend Barney. When he meets Robin, he's sure he's found the one, but somehow, things don't seem to be going as planned...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Legendary Show... or it should be, 7 Jun 2008
By Ms. E. A. Pearson "Ezzy" (Londonish) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: How I Met Your Mother - Season 1 [DVD] [2005] (DVD)
As many people have said this show was cursed in this country by an abismal timeslot. It well diserved a Primetime slot, with a reapeat in where it was uncerimoniously dumped. This show is huge in America, but here no one's heard of it. This show consistantly has made me laugh out loud, so much so that my housemates come in to ask me what's so funny.

The comparison to Friend's is obvious, but if you go deeper than a vauge hand wavey premis, you can see the shows are quite different. This show was made 10 years later than Friends. This means slightly more risque storylines, not so much as to be crass but only to make them truely laugh out loud funny. The way the story is told is also completely different, telling them out of order in flashbacks and fast forwards which only drives them more and leaves you craving for the next bit to piece together the puzzle. The grand arc of the show is driven by the question 'who is the mother' with tantalising hints being dropped all the time (I've seen seasons 2 and 3 as well.) and the more they give you the more you want to know. But at it's very core are a set of great characters who you love and laugh at with equal measure.

I think I've made it clear that I LOVE THIS SHOW. Great plots and characters told in magnificent style. Well worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended, 12 May 2007
By J. Johnson "julierj1973" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: How I Met Your Mother - Season 1 [DVD] [2005] (DVD)
A brilliant comedy that deserved a much better TV slot than it got. Hope someone has the sense to take up series 2. If you missed it on TV you won't be disappointed with the DVD - it is very funny. As said before, if you like friends you'll like this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why is this show not on prime time?, 26 April 2007
By Mr. R. Smith "Russ" (Hampton, TW12) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: How I Met Your Mother - Season 1 [DVD] [2005] (DVD)
Like the previous reviewer, I was lucky enough to watch every episode when it was shown in the UK. But BBC2 at 6.30 on an Sunday evening? No wonder hardly anyone has heard of this show. And there are so many worse shows that get more airtime????

Without wanting to make the obvious comparisons with Friends, if you loved that you will love this. Great performances all round and sharp, witty, and genuinely funny scripts, all played with great warmth.

Do not miss out.
