How I Met Your Mum!

Advantages: Interesting new idea for a show, funny, lighthearted
Disadvantages: None

I have only just recently started watching this show, despite the fact it was released in 2005. E4 must have decided to re-run the first series again so they've been advertising quite a lot lately. Each episode is half an hour long, and is set in 2030, beginning with two teenagers sitting on a sofa, and the voiceover of a middle-aged sounding man who is their father explaining, in short terms, 'How I Met Your Mother'. This introduction lasts about a minute, until it goes into a flashback and we see this father, but in modern day times, before he ever had children. The protagonist of the show is Ted, who is the voiceover/father guy at the beginning. The show mainly focuses on his life... his relationships, his social activities, and his friends. We are introduced to Ted's friends straightaway: Marshall (Ted's easygoing best friend from ...

How I Met Your Mother - The New Friends....but better.

Advantages: Great Characters With Great Acting, Funny, Addictive, Great Concepts
Disadvantages: Can be confusing for new watchers

How I Met Your Mother has been one of my favourite American Sitcoms since I got a glimpse of it back in 2007 when BBC 2 showed the first season and I have secretly been longing for the past 2 years, hoping that BBC will show it again someday. Thankfully my secret prays have been answered by E4, which makes sense since they are the ones famous for bringing the British public Friends, Ugly Betty, Samantha Who and the other American sitcoms. I have to admit that a show has never had the effect How I Met Your Mother has had, I have never come home looking forward to a show as much as I have in the recent months, even epic shows like Lost or Heroes failed to grip me as much as How I Met Your Mother has, and I am glad because it brings a little ray of sunshine into my usually miserable day.
