A show of LEGENDARY humor

I'm here to tell you about the awesomest show on television. It truly is a show the is LEGENDARY.

Now many may have seen this show while flipping through the channels. Yet, I believe that this show is truly the new FRIENDS.

I'm talking about How I Met Your Mother.

I recently purchased the DVD seasons of the show (because Target was having a major deal on them) so I figured, "Hey, why not."

It was the most awesome decision of my life.

The show is amazing. Now I had watched all of this season, currently the fourth, and parts of the other seasons. But to sit down and watch them back to back is epic.

How I Met Your Mother is about just that. Bob Saget, one of the most famous TV dads of all time, is telling his kids in the year 2030 about, yep you guessed it, how he met their mom.

Now being a huge fan of FRIENDS, it would take a lot to get another show to not only grab my attention, but to grab my attention and tickle its funny bone until it collapses in a laughing heap on the couch.

This show does just that.

From the way the five characters interact. Yes FIVE, unlike the SIX of FRIENDS. That six slot is reserved for non season regulars that pop in for a few episodes and then fade away into the metaphorical TV sunset.

To the way the storyline twists and turns, yet never gets boring. If you don't believe me that the show is legendary, just ask this guy.



It's good. So watch it. Monday nights at 8:30 Pacific Time. On CBS. And yes, Neil Patrick Harris is a badass. Check out Barney's blog by CLICKING HERE.

  1. Yes, I agree, it's a good show but you fail to mention what makes it so great - Jason Segal! That dude is hilarious. Go back and watch some Segal classics, Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared - comedy gold!
