Käänteinen rakkaustarina:Ensisilmäyksellä on raikas uusi komedia Tedistä (Josh Radnor) ja siitä kuinka hän rakastui. Kun Tedin parhaat kaverit Marshall (Jason Segel) ja Lily (Alyson Hannigan) päättävät solmia liiton, saa Ted kipinän etsiä oma Neiti Oikea. Avukseen tehtävässään hän saa baareja kiertelevän "pelimiehen" Barneyn (Neil Patrick Harris), vannoutuneen poikamiehen jolta löytyy riittämiin villejä keinoja naisten iskemiseksi. Ted iskee silmänsä viehättävään ja itsenäiseen Robiniin (Cobie Smulders), mutta kohtalolla saattaa olla jotain aivan muuta mielessään. Ensisilmäyksellä on takaumien avulla kerrottu tarina Tedin päivistä sinkkuna ja seurustelun sekä todellisen rakkauden etsimisen kohokodista ja vastoinkäymisistä. (Paramount Home Ent. Fin.)

At one point it was my favourite sitcom. A great gang of likeable protagonists and every episode was like a dose of good mood. The first season made we want to be in New Your to live those funny moments together with Ted, Robin, Barney, Marshal and Lily, but then things get unnecessarily contrived, the characters don’t evolve at all (even if the show tries to claim they do) and the quality of the humour becomes noticeably lower. The first season of HIMYM was like real life, I felt that something like that could be happening across the pond, but now, at the end of the fifth season? HIMYM has become completely detached from reality, with events that could never happen, and I stopped rooting for most of the protagonists. The first two seasons or so were proper five stars, then it went down to four and I would give three stars to the fifth.

Situational comedy can finally be appreciated as a (sub)genre. This series pulls at the tried and true truths of partner relationships through a pandering form of apt catchphrases, while also not being afraid of a tender romance that genuinely warms the cockles of our hearts. Neil Patrick Harris is now the foremost mentor of pure comedy for a long time to come, and Alyson Hannigan proves that it didn't end with flute sex at music camp. Awesome, totally! PS: Barney’s trip to San Francisco is one of the absolute most fantastic moments this series has offered. Edit: From the fourth series onwards, there is a clear shift towards traditional sitcom waters. It's still funny, but not as relaxed and likable. I still watch it out of nostalgia.

Where Friends ended... ...in fact Friends continues, just with a different cast. And yeah, it’s pretty funny, but maybe even more cheap moralizing than before. And all the rest of the characters are well-written (and acted, in fact), the main character is quite the opposite. You want to kill him from the very first episode. Which harms the series as a whole, which is a shame.

1st - 3rd season - 100% - No matter what happened in my life, there was always one group of friends who got me and everything seemed so much better. They were Friends and their decade-long journey with the viewers left a huge void in the hearts of those who like to find comfort in fictional friends. And that void disappeared after watching the second episode of HIMYM. It takes a while for the characters to get under your skin. Just like I used to want to visit Central Perk, now I feel a huge part of Ted in me, I want to hang out at McLaren's with Barney and make the craziest ideas come true, envy the amazing couple Marshmallow+Lillypad, and admire Robin as an unreachable beauty. 4th - 6th season - 80% - It's as if the creators forgot how to dose the jokes and plot revelations. Everything seems to be in its place, genius episodes are given more sparingly, but never disappoint (Shelter Island, Girls vs. Suits), but sometimes it's clear that with high ratings, there's no need to rush, so the scripts just goof around, which doesn't work well during weaker moments. Fortunately, Neil Patrick Harris still reigns supreme, while Alyson Hannigan has lost some of her best comedic timing after her maternity leave. 7th - 8th season - 75% - I would like to forgive the slow unveiling of an important detail throughout the season, because the best things are worth waiting for. But with the given qualitative jumps, my condescending smile turns quite bitter. The episodes that focus on old-fashioned situational humor increasingly resemble a struggle, and when your once heartfelt series offers episodes in which, despite the creators' obvious efforts, I have nothing to smile about, it's actually somewhat heartbreaking. The relatively high rating is saved by Bayes and Thomas' emotional touch. Serious storylines or contemplation still work like a charm, and the sitcom label suddenly becomes too small for the entire HIMYM. 9th season - 85% - Initially, a completely dysfunctional concept, deadly boring Marshall storyline, and trivial running jokes - and then a complete turnaround halfway through. When long-running storylines start to come to a close, nostalgia flourishes and every other scene contains confession or wisdom, my eyes get teary and I'm back six years ago, when I couldn't breathe from the tension of Ted's romantic escapades (especially in episodes like How Your Mother Met Me, Daisy, and Gary Blauman). The atmosphere clearly indicates that something big is ending, drowning out occasional visits from weaker jokes, and only makes you root for the beloved characters in anticipation of the long-awaited and dramatized happy ending. Last Forever episode - Unrateable. But unfortunately, not in the way that the endings of my other beloved series stunned me. I understand the main creative duo's desire to make their work a more realistic spectacle and I also understand their "thinning out" of happy endings. But ending a sitcom on a serious note is no fun, and diluting everything that the last two seasons or in some cases all nine seasons were building up to is a stab in the back for all the viewers who root for happy endings. I could have dealt with that sad twist with a shocked expression on my face, but the biggest betrayal for me is the complete finale that erases everything the creators have been trying to show us about their relationship in recent years. This is not a punchline, it's simply deliberate disappointment. Even two months after the premiere, and with several subsequent reruns, I can say this with a calm mind. My once favorite show is now leaving behind disappointment. It's not a definite ending for everyone, nor a boring finish to a certainty. But this turmoil hurts broken fan hearts. Lowering the rating by one star has never been so regretful.

I take it back that this series is not my cup of coffee. It's awesome! Barney is a god, Robin is a god, Lilly and Marshall are gods, and I'll even put up with Ted eventually. And like others have written, this sitcom is more from life than any other. It's just that season 9 failed miserably... not to mention the finale.

The overall functional sitcom humor is unfortunately spoiled by the characters. Such a unique collection of small-town folk in the peak of their age is something one rarely comes across and one can only speculate considering the well-known fact that people usually change for the worse, to what extent they have reached in their snobbery and bourgeois posing in their old age. After watching three episodes, I felt the urge to join the punks somewhere on a channel, but due to my age and parental position, I could not afford to do it. Therefore, I am done with this series. :-) Overall impression: 40%.

I liked this show a lot all those many years ago, but after two seasons it started losing its breath and went through a crisis of sorts. After Season 6, I gave up on watching it altogether. This year, I started reviewing shows I'd already seen, so I gave it another chance and made it to the end. I'm not going to lie; my frustration grew with each successive season, so I was really surprised that the final season wasn't the worst one. As I said, the first two seasons were okay, but the quality started to fade in the third season, and then it went downhill from there. But I hung in there and I’m truly proud of myself. / Lesson learned: It could have been way more legen...wait for it...dary!

This series does not deserve such high ratings, the last season was absolutely terrible and the quality of the show went downhill, but the last episode did manage to touch me, which I appreciate. In the end, it ended quite nicely. This was for the fans. Originally, I saw this series as a replacement for "Friends", the concept is essentially the same, some jokes are identical. However, in the end, I developed such a connection to these characters that "HIMYM" became one of the two shows that I had to watch regularly as soon as it aired. I like shows where I form a connection with the characters, and I had it here. Thanks to this series, I started to admire Jason Segel and because of him, I'm happy when Maria Hill appears in Marvel movies from time to time. However, I have to say that I'm glad the ninth season ended. It couldn't continue like this anymore.

A sitcom that can be enjoyed by almost any generation. Above-standard entertainment, with especially the first three or four seasons being absolutely perfect. However, over time, starting around the sixth season, the series drops down to an average. It can’t avoid the common pitfalls facing any contemporary series, that is, attempts at character development, while excessively stretching out the plot. The negatives are, however, outweighed by the positive impression that these five best friends from Manhattan managed to leave on me. To borrow a catchphrase from Barney, I'd call those nine years during which not only the characters went through changes, but so did I, truly legendary.
