Format:DVD
After two years of waiting for season 2 to emerge it's finally here. If you haven't caught the show yet, or saw a clip and thought it was trying too hard to be another Friends (it isn't), the basic premise is that some years from now Ted tells his children a story of how he met their mother. But his story starts before that event and so we're left to slowly work out who his future wife will be. This arc story allows us to meet his friends who are his sometimes girlfriend Robin, his unpleasant womanizer friend Barney, and Marshall and Lilly, a sickeningly happy couple (mostly).
The star turn, and most of the funniest lines, is provided by Barney, but all the cast spark well with rapid fire witty comments that come over as being natural and in character rather than the writers giving everyone sharp words to say. In truth, the stories are usually contrived in a routine sitcom sort of way providing nothing you haven't seen before, but then again that adds to the charm of the show. It works because the characters are so well-drawn and are just real enough to be appealing. And the editing is fast to ensure that not a moment is wasted, but for once this technique is used to good effect as the stories move around in time and place.
Season 2 follows on the story left at the end of season 1 in which Marshall and Lilly are having issues and Robin and Ted aren't. The overall arc story inches on and on the way there's plenty of laughs. Let's hope it's not another two years before season 3 appears.

I love HIMYM,and this season contains possibly my two favorite episodes of the whole series (Slapbet and Arrivederci, Fiero) but where are the special features?
Part of the whole reason I buy box sets is for the gag reels and behind the scenes stuff and I know season 2 R1 has them as they are all over You tube.
I wouldn't hesitate to buy this season again or any future releases but I would really like to see the special features return for the S3 DVD.

Had bought season 1 thinking it was the only season I was able to watch on region 2 DVD player until I noticed these French imports for seasons 2 and 3 for sale. Very glad I did as it means I could watch subsequent seasons without having to wait for UK release or buy a multi region DVD player. If you liked season 1 you will love this....it is far funnier and Neil Patrick Harrison excels as Barney, he just gets better and better. Highly recommended to cheer up your day.

Excellent but one major flaw
HIMYM is by far the best Sit Com to come out in the past decade. It seems to be advertised as being 'just like Friends' but is so much more. Read more
