How I Met Your Mother...

The CBS comedy How I Met Your Mother is a television show that never gets old. At this point I believe that I have seen every episode. Reruns are played on three different cable channels-which is an added blessing to my day! :) How I Met Your Mother explores friendships in New York City all while one of the main characters, Ted, tells the story of how he met his wife and his kids mother.

Ted's character gives hope to the 30-something single inside of everyone because he is hopelessly romantic. He is always looking for "the one." And while at some points he takes it to the extreme, (he tells a girl he loves her on the first date) you know that he always means well and will do anything in the name of love. 


Barney, the single and never attached to anyone bachelor, provides exceptional humor at his desperate attempts to sleep with women. His perverted sense of humor gives the show its needed comedy in the form of desperation to constantly SUIT UP and hook up with women who have questionable morals.


Robin is also a single 30 something woman, who is from Canada. She is determined to become a broadcast journalist and almost always puts her career ahead of everything, including love. She doesn't like to get too attached and appeals to the career-minded and independent woman.


Lily and Marshall are like a packaged deal. They've been together since their freshman year of college and are probably the most adorable couple on television. They share everything with one another and love each other no matter what. Yes, they have their ups and downs but they soon workout their relationship and get married!! Their relationship exhibits mature and honest elements that anyone would be jealous of. 


In all, How I Met Your Mother is a television show that I don't know what I would do without. I watch this show every chance I get...and anticipate the new episodes on Monday nights. The comedy plus the mystery of Ted's future wife provides an awesome take on relationships and friendships through the years in the big city of New York. It's a must watch- so tune in everyone!
