How I Met Your Mother

I have been waiting to be able to blog about HIMYM all semester and now that it was brought up in class here goes. Warning: I could write  83 million blogs about HIMYM so I will try to keep it short and sorry if it’s confusing. I LOVE HIMYM and it’s perfect in every way (except for the end but I like to pretend that never happened) because it is so much more than a quick and easy comedy, because the more you watch it the more you see and the better it gets (and I think the layout of the show and how it’s Ted in the future talking to his kids about the present is really unique).

It’s not just about sex and a quick laugh because they discuss deep and meaningful topics like the death of a parent, break-ups, losing a job, illness, life goals, and so much more.

Another huge part of it is also about relationship and not just romantic relationships but relationship with friends, family, and strangers.

They also created the most relatable character. You watch the show and learn about Ted’s life and live it with him. And now you identify with him and are rooting for him, you’ve invested your time just like Ted, but (dare I say it and SPOILER ALERT) only to have what you have been waiting for not be what you expected, just like how it was for Ted.

This show wasn’t just 1 or 2 seasons either. This masterpiece of storytelling took planning from day one and ran all the way through to their 9th seasons. If you have watch every season (multiple times like I have) you can see just how much planning went into it all and if you only watch 1 or 2 episodes here or there you won’t be able to enjoy it as much.
