How I Met Your Mother

To give you an idea of this show, all I really need to do is explain the characters. Let me start with Ted.Ted is smart, kind of dorky, and all around adorable. The show is supposed to be about Ted explaining to his children in the year 2030 all about how he met his wife (and their mother; get it? That's the name of the show. So, anyways...). Ted lives in New York City with his friends. Well, he lives with Lily and Marshall. And I think Robin at one point, but I can't really remember. Oops. Ted met Marshall in college (they were room mates) and they were friends ever since. Marshall is the funniest character ever (I'll probably say that about everyone, because I love them all). He is a really goofy guy, but super nice at the same time. He is a lawyer, and dreams to one day go into environmental law, but he ends up in multiple corporate law jobs, which he believes to be unethical. Lily, his girlfriend, then fiance, then wife (they go through all three stages in the show) is possibly just as goofy and kind as Marshall is. She is a kindergarten teacher, but her dream is to be a famous painter. Robin starts out the show as Ted's girlfriend, but after the two of them break up during the course of the show, they remain close friends. I'm glad, because if one of these five characters were missing, it would throw off the dynamic of the whole show. Speaking of the five characters, I forgot to mention one. BARNEY. He is, without a doubt, my favorite character. Played by Neil Patrick Harris (who I love already), Barney is a total player. He is sleeping with a new girl in every episode (which is super ironic, because he in real life, Neil Patrick Harris is gay). Barney always makes up stories about who he is, and just in general tells girls crazy lies to get them to sleep with him. It's funny when it's on TV, right? This show would not be as perfect without him, and let me tell you, it IS perfect. WATCH ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. You can thank me later. :)

  2. I doubt that if any guy who was actually like Ted Mosby -- Obsessed with finding his soul-mate -- that he would ever find a girl who would put up with that nonsense. If it was realistic, the show would be titled "How I Became an Old Bachelor."
