to just not get How I Met Your Mother?

[Lottapianos]

I've only seen 3 or 4 episodes so hardly an avid viewer but I really don't get it. I find it so unfunny that I'm not convinced it's not a parody of a comedy show. Like, painfully unfunny. As far as I can see, there's not a single laugh in it. I watch the Big Bang Theory at every opportunity and laugh my head off, then HIMYM comes on and it's..........oh. Channel change time.

What do you enjoy about it?

[LaydeeC]

Flyaway... I totally agree.
And Lizzie, you'd have to fight me for them. On the other hand, you have them, I'll take Jeff

[Littleen]

it is sooo funny

[BigOrange]

squoosh Google Ted Mosby is a.... And see what the auto full suggestions are. The internet as a whole hates him too!

[Back2Basics]

I only have liked a few episodes, it seems to come on and I watch it thinking urgh I need to turn over but then can't be bothered and carry on sitting and staring. I like barny and robin together.

I love love love bbt, two and a half men and 2 broke girls

I thought the end of rules of engagement was a bit crap - Russell and Timmy get married, Adam and Jen have this rushed wedding in the hospital after years of planning it, and Audrey gets pregnant the day her baby is born. Felt all very rushed.

[FlyAwayToMalibu]

Nooo! Neil Patrick Harris is married to scooter? Brilliant!

Sandy rivers is Lily's husband in RL.

[runes]

It is the biggest load of unfunny shit that I've had the misfortune of seeing for a long time. Not one funny line, pure trunks.

[LizzieVereker]

I like Rules of Engagement - and I want all of Audrey's clothes.

[RobinSparkles]

Barney's RL partner is the guy who plays Lily's High School boyfriend!

[RobinSparkles]

I think it's run it's course.

The earlier series were better. The programme has run a bit too long for the How I Met Your Mother theme, iyswim. It should have ended a couple of series ago, IMO.

Ted started to look a bit like a desperate saddo really.

I do like it though.

Loved Friends!

squoosh ba ha ha ha

I just find it fantastic that in real life 'Barney' is gay! Also every role I have seen him in he has been a serial womaniser.

[squoosh]

I hope Barney dies of knob rot.

[ButICantaloupe]

The writers announced a main cast member will die at the end. I wonder who it could be.

I think it's going to be Barney. We hear what Robyn, Lily and Marshall do in the future but (AFAIR) there hasn't been any mention of Barney.

Barney is my favourite character though.

[littledrummergirl]

Love tbbt and himym. Hated friends.

I didn't read you post op but whatever the reason, Yanbu.

Shit programme.

[LaydeeC]

No, it's great . I love Jeff and Russell just kills me.

[FloweryFeatureWall]

Rules of engagement?! No no no! It's awful!

[Ladyfarquhar]

Love, love, love TBBT and just do not get How I met your mother. The few episodes I have seen have been truly dull and unfunny. Nope not for me.

[LaydeeC]

I love, love, love TBBT - and Rules of Engagement

[FlyAwayToMalibu]

Love TBBT.

[squoosh]

I do too.

Bernadette is a microbiologist who earns more than her husband. Amy is a neuro scientist and an intellectual equal to Sheldon. Penny has more emotional intelligence than everyone else.

[Lottapianos]

I think Big Bang is one of the less misogynist shows around actually, although Howard is a huge sleaze

[thedogwakesuptoodamnearly]

Why do you say that, namechanges? Two of the main female characters are research scientists, isn't that a good thing?

[ThisIsMyRealName]

I'm not keen (DD loves it) but it is much, much better than the dire 2 and a half men, which makes me want to throw thngs at the screen...

[Damnautocorrect]

It confuses me but I quite like it
