How I Met How I Met Your Mother

My first experience with How I Met Your Mother (from now on HIMYM) came about by a Myspace post from my friend Andrea about 3 years ago. Other than gushing about Jason Segel she showed a clip about how the character Robin was once a pop singer in Canada. That scene alone should have been enough to make me take notice. Indeed I did but alas I always feel as if I have to start a show from the beginning in order to enjoy it so I let it go for the time being. Days, weeks, and months go by and I get Bobb X and my roommate Chelley try to convince me that I would enjoy the heck out of this show. I still do not watch for whatever reason. Finally in 2009 I willingly let my friend Kelly force me into watching the show. From one episode I wanted more. If you don't know, the show is about the future version of the main character Ted recounting the days when he was living in NYC and hanging out with all of his best friends and how he eventually will meet his wife. I found all of the episodes through different online means that I won't go through in this blog. I was able to start from the beginning about a month ago and I am now halfway through season 4 and loving it. It's refreshing that there is a sitcom filmed before a live studio audience that I can watch without cringing. So here's to Ted and the gang and here's hoping Neil Patrick Harris gets the Emmy he so deserves for season 4.
