How I Met Your Mother is a show sit com which is currently playing on Channel 4. It's an American programme which is made by 20th Century Fox, previous to been on Channel 4, the show was also on Trouble and programmes of the likes before it closed down last year.
How I met your mother is a programme about a man called Ted living in present time in New York, and it is narated by Ted in the year 2015 (sometime near here!) talking to his two teenage kids, a girl and a boy, who could be twins, not sure it never really says!
He is telling them about his life, all the people in it, and How he Met their Mother. Also in the show are Marshall & Lily a couple who have been together since college, Barney, a single man who is obsessed with women and getting into bed with them! And finally Robyn, who Ted has on-off relationships with- but who we are told at some point in the show, is NOT the children's mother (so to me Ted and Robyns relationships are pointless as we know all along it's not going to work out somewhere along the line- this isn't a spoiler by the way, it is openly broadcast on the show when the children ask if Robyn is their mother!).
The shows story isn't really believeable, for it to take 5 series (and it's still not over) so 5 years to tell your kids how you met their mother is too long for this kind fo story to take, you wouldn't go into so much detail, and you'd simply say I met her this way. But it is an interesting story and your always waiting for Ted to meet a woman who he falls for.
This first story is pretty much establishing the story and all of the characters.
There are 22 episodes in the first series, although this is the first series, quite alot happens. We learn all about the 5 main characters, Robyn and Ted meet and he sets his sights on her and decides he wants to marry her. But when they do eventaully get together, will everything go to plan?
In this series it's Lily and Marshall' s wedding, and the lead up to the wedding, but will they get married in the end?
The show does what it's supposed to do, it's funny and it does have some very funny and some sad epsiodes which is what you want from a sit com.
How I met your mother is definitely trying to top Friends. It was brought out the same year as Friends ended in 2005, but it has failed to take off and make as big of a splash as Friends did. It has only just started playing on Channel 4, so if you like the sounds of it, then start watching!
If you liked Friends, then you'll like this, but don't expect too much from it, when compared to such an amazing show like Friends, it will always fall short, but it is a good watch! :)
Summary: A good show which is good to watch but is trying to be the new Friends.
