Product description

A love story in reverse: How I Met Your Mother is a fresh comedy about Ted (Josh Radnor) and how he fell in love. When Ted’s best friends Marshall (Jason Segel) and Lily (Alyson Hannigan) decide to tie the knot, it sparks the search for his own Miss Right. Helping him in his quest is his bar-hopping “wing-man” Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), a confirmed bachelor with plenty of wild schemes for picking up women. Ted’s sights are set on the charming and independent Robin (Cobie Smulders), but destiny may have something different in mind. Told through a series of flashbacks,Ted recalls his single days, the highs and lows of dating and the search for true love.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Legendary Show... or it should be
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 June 2008

As many people have said this show was cursed in this country by an abismal timeslot. It well diserved a Primetime slot, with a reapeat in where it was uncerimoniously dumped. This show is huge in America, but here no one's heard of it. This show consistantly has made me laugh out loud, so much so that my housemates come in to ask me what's so funny.

The comparison to Friend's is obvious, but if you go deeper than a vauge hand wavey premis, you can see the shows are quite different. This show was made 10 years later than Friends. This means slightly more risque storylines, not so much as to be crass but only to make them truely laugh out loud funny. The way the story is told is also completely different, telling them out of order in flashbacks and fast forwards which only drives them more and leaves you craving for the next bit to piece together the puzzle. The grand arc of the show is driven by the question 'who is the mother' with tantalising hints being dropped all the time (I've seen seasons 2 and 3 as well.) and the more they give you the more you want to know. But at it's very core are a set of great characters who you love and laugh at with equal measure.

I think I've made it clear that I LOVE THIS SHOW. Great plots and characters told in magnificent style. Well worth it.

If you enjoy smart US sitcoms then 'How I Met Your Mother' is perfect viewing. Neil Patrick Harris as Barney steals the show with his wise-cracking comments and actions whilst the lovely Cobie Smulders provides glamour in the form of Robin Scherbatsky.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny in a more sophisticated way than Friends
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 July 2010

I didn't like this show at first, mainly because everything that gets compared with the classics has to suffer - and so I made them suffer buy hating them for pretending to be the next Friends. Only in my head of course, not that they would have cared (or realised) ;) And for as long as I looked at the show from that point of view - I thought it was merely alright, good for when there's nothing else on the telly.
But after the first few episodes I started to notice the sublime humour, the wit and sophistication of the seemingly basic dialogues, and sometimes wonderfully random and almost surreal comments and reactions. Marshall is my absolute favourite in that respect, with his way of filling an awkward silence by saying "so... fish are weird eh?". Reminds me ever so slightly of Monthy Python, purely because of the randomness and the twisted, abstract humour. If you're not attuned to this type of humour you might not see anything special about How I Met Your Mother. But if you are, you're in for a real treat! I find the jokes and banter absolutely spot on, not too simple, not too complex, and every now and then I hear a line that's so brilliant it's almost... delicious - if you're sensitive to the beauty of spoken word and language in general, you'll know what I mean.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesomely funny
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 May 2008

I only came across How I Met Your Mother by chance last December when flicking through the channels one evening. About four months on I am very thankful for that piece of fortune as How I Met Your Mother is one of the finest comedy programmes I have had the pleasure of viewing. While it shares common ground with some of the best American sitcoms, notably Friends and Scrubs, this is a show bursting with a fresh sense of originality.

The writing is sharp, varied and very funny, rarely feeling stale, with the main cast excelling with such wonderful material. With much credit going to the writers for creating a piece of television that is both extremely accessible and very smart. And while the main characters are all great in their own right, in the shape of Barney Stinson you will find one of the funniest to ever grace the sitcom.

It is a shame that How I Met Your Mother is generally unknown on these shores, but this should not distract from you giving it a try. As the rest of the reviews about this show here demonstrate, this really is one of American television's biggest gifts to us. If you find out you like this first series, having seen the second and half of the third I'm pleased to report it just as good from here, maybe even better.

5.0 out of 5 stars what a Legen...wait for it.....Dary sitcom
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 March 2010

Yes as you can tell my title for the review clearly shows after the first season i am hooked. I just love the way that this sitcom is written, the charactures, the storylines and everything down to subject matter. And as many have said, if you like Friends, you'll love this!!! Even though once i let slip the words..."this is even more funny than friends" i think it would be poor to even suggest the similarities as these two sitcoms are worlds apart and have their great 'glow' and 'uniqueness' about them. Also it's just THE best sitcome about at the moment, in a time when tacky teenage drama Skins and the too geeky Big Bang theory are ruling british tv this is definately the light the other side of the tunnel and hopefully a taster of what's to come, although American's claim that the original sitcom could be going. But in such a bad economic climate i would of thought that that's the cheapist for of media apart from all this reality stuff. The pilot episode is just brillant so funny, halfway through the sitcom things calm down a bit but then the storyline *spoilers coming* starts to take over and build for Marshall & Lily's relationship goes on the rocks so it's well written etc. Best sitcom about highly addictive and i'd definately would recommend this! 10/10

la serie est drole ça parle très vite mais les sous titres en anglais sont exactement ce qui est dit alors cela permet de se perfectionner tant au niveau de l oreille que de l ecrit, on peut aussi écouter en francais et avoir les sous titres en anglais alors cela permet de comprendre vraiment tout en se rémémorant la façon de le dire en anglais, pour moi c'est une série tres intéressante et ludique a la fois.

5.0 out of 5 stars LA SITCOM PER ECCELLENZA
Reviewed in Italy on 11 June 2014

Come già scritto, how i met you mother è la più che degna erede di friends. Di questa sitcom ho adorato il tipo di sceneggiatura, infatti la narrazione invertita è veramente ben riuscita. inoltre il fatto di non avere un "vero" singolo protagonista,anche se la serie narra della ricerca da parte di ted dell'anima gemella, l'ho trovata una scelta azzeccata, tutti e cinque i personaggi grazie al loro grande carisma e alle identità ben definite,anche se anche loro avranno degli alti e bassi, non perdendo però di vista il loro obiettivo,entreranno di prepotenza nelle vostre vite e molto difficilmente vi dimenticherete di loro. mai scontata e banale how i met your mother vi farà ridere(tanto, barney è legen... wait for it dary!) piangere, infatti il legame che unisce marshal- lily-ted-robin è unico,è per questo che ho detto che non eiste un singolo protagonista, ma soprattutto non vi stancherà mai. per concludere non posso che consigliarvela. come sempre amazon perfetto, ordinata e la mattina dopo arrivata

Reviewed in Canada on 31 May 2011

This is one of the few TV shows that I watch every week when they air a new episode and I consistantly follow.

It's funny and the characters are likeable. It's a witty, contemporary show that's similar to Friends. A nice way to relax, and the plot isn't very heavy or difficult to follow which makes it good entertainment. This is one of the few shows that actually makes me laugh out loud.

Amazon has this at a great price, and Season One is well worth the $20 (especially if you buy something else to get the free shipping).

I remain invested with How I Met Your Mother characters, back stories, & hysterical timing with lines delivered. That said, this is a great series with a much preferred optional ending after years of being a fan. Wonderful addition to your DVD library.
