I thought this was a great show I haven't seen it all mostly because I don't watch a lot of tv but when I watched it I really enjoyed the show ! I thought it was really funny and I really enjoyed the actors!

I am in the majority here because I don't like this show at all. I watched a couple episodes and that was enough for me. I just couldn't get into the story plot and found it full of dry humor, sorry.

Ted has fallen in love. It all started when his best friend, Marshall, drops the bombshell that he plans to propose to longtime girlfriend Lily, a kindergarten teacher. Suddenly, Ted realizes that he had better get a move on if he hopes to find true love. Helping him in the quest is Barney, a friend with endless -- often outrageous -- opinions, a penchant for suits and a foolproof way to meet women. When Ted meets Robin, he is sure it's love at first sight, but the affair fizzles into friendship. Voice-over by Bob Saget ("Full House") tells the story through flashbacks.

I LOVE this show!!! It is so funny and full of zany moments that have you laughing in tears. The main character Ted starts off most episodes telling his kids the story of how he met his mother and then the show goes back to when Ted left college and moved into an apartment with his best friends Marshall and Lily. Every episodes deals with the lives of this group of friends that go through so many ups and downs but always manage to be there for each other. Their love lives take a beating but they manage to find the support they need from their friends. You can't help but enjoy yourself watching their hilarious adventures and want to join in. I wish that it was still playing. I'm not finished watching the DVD collection and hate the thought of seeing the final show. All good things must come to an end in TV land. ;-)
