I hate Ted. He is a beta and just like the nebbish/dorky lead guys in Friends (Ross) and (JD) in Scrubs

One reason that I avoided the show for so long was that only two of the five characters were engaging.
Barney was very entertaining, though of course you have to have someone like him be slightly off to the side.
Robin was interesting with her weird back story. I liked her.
Ted was a little annoying, but tolerable as the straight man glue of the show. He was neutral.
Lily was annoying, as was her relationship with Marshall. There was nothing very realistic about her. The more I watched, the closer she moved to tolerable, but she never quite got there.
Marshall - everything about that simpering wimp was intolerable, and he never got better.
However, the writing was pretty good and the premise was pretty good, so after watching a few episodes I developed the habit.
