Sometimes when everything on TV seems rubbish, I stop it from being rubbish and make it awesome. To do this I watch a show called HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER.
`How I Met Your Mother' is a US sitcom which opens in 2030 where Ted begins to tell his kids the story of how he met their mother. In the beginning, it goes back to 2005 when Ted's best friend Marshall asks his long-term girlfriend, Lily, to marry him. This makes Ted realise what he is missing so he sets out to meet his future wife. With the help of his other best friend, Barney, Ted meets Robin, the girl of his dreams, but things aren't quite as simple as that...
And that's just the start!
I've been watching this show each week for a few years now so to watch them all again in big chunks at a time in this complete boxset has been an absolute treat. The comedy is sharp, witty and intelligent. The storylines are fast-paced but the story of how Ted actually meets the mother is starting to drag a little now (just meet her already please!). The characters are excellent and the acting is great, feeling like these five 20-somethings really are best friends.
Individually I'd definitely rate each of the first four seasons a solid 5 stars each, but the quality does drop slightly in season 5 (I'd still give this 4 stars) but I've been watching season 6 and can happily say it has got back up to 5 star quality again now.
Overall I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a highly addictive and very funny sitcom as it is truly Legen-(wait for it)-DARY!

Sick of only catching random episodes on random channels and decided to buy this box set. onto my wishlist it went and i waited for the random price decrease... it finaly came and i swooped on it and at least one disc lives in my 5 disc player.
its always funny and you can watch any episode at anytime,as you get flashbacks relating to any information from prevsious episodes.
american comedy has in the past stabbed me in the face with its horrible attempt at being funny, but this is AWESOME!

Great value of money when you think of how many hours of entertainment that you get.
Its combination of characters you care about, real life situations, and well written scripts keep you engaged throughout. It's like a modern day Friends.
Please don't judge this on the more recent series of How I Met Your Mother, where the scripts are noticeably weaker as the writers run out of ideas.

This was my entry into the "how i met your mother" complete series. The series is just funny like hell, and the characters are very nicely portrayed. Have to admit that I bought it for much less than what it is trading for now. At the point I bought it definitely a good value for money. Can't comment ont he extras, have not looked into them at all.

I have watched these online since the first series came out in America. ITS AMAZING! seen every episode and seeing this on sale for £25 on the flash deals I had to buy it and I don't regret it! its worth it for the bonus features alone! seeing the full videos by robin sparkles are hilarious and so cheesy, the blooper reels are great too! dont hesitate in buying this its the best thing on TV since friends! I watch loads of american comedy shows such as big bang theory, 30 rock, 2 broke girls etc but this is easily my favourite! each character fit together so well and it makes you feel as though they really are all best friends!

Very glad I got this in the Amazon Lightning deal as I wouldn't have paid £60+ for it! But at £25 this was perfect, and great to actually watch it from the very start. Now I just need to get Series 6 and wait until October for Series 7!
