How I Met Your Mother
Maybe it is because I am a church geek, but this is comedy gold to me!!! I have no idea if this got embedded or not.

Even though I know the ending, I'm thinking of watching the season from the beginning.
My problem is that I lose interest in sitcom's no matter how good they are usually. Do the episodes throughout the seasons, keep drawing you in??

You should watch seasons 1-7. Maybe even season 8. But SKIP all of season 9, except for the last 3 episodes or so. |

The reason Marshall spent so much time in the car was because he was filiming it on a soundstage around his Muppet filming, so he wasn't available with the rest of the cast. He really wanted to end it at 8 seasons, but he couldn't bail on the character.

I think a lot of people have an issue with it because it's TOO realistic, and they don't want that from a sitcom. They want non-stop laughs.
That's why I was surprised a couple of seasons ago when marhsall's dad died....that show was so real and not at all sitcom.

2. I don't know what it is, but I thoroughly enjoyed HIMYM without being invested in it. For me it met a sweet spot between Big Bang Theory's snappy one-liners, and Community's playing around with continuity and format for comedic purpose [actually, they had almost a more Tarantino feel to their use of time and framing]. The simply put, I liked the bits, but I always looked at Robin more as hot Cobie Smulders and Barney as badass Doogie Howser than Robin as either Barney or Ted's love of their life. And when Marshall's dad died, my thought was 'Dauber's not dead, he's hanging with Coach and Dick Van Dyke's little brother.' Basically attractive and talented actors performing snappy and winning scripts more than characters I am invested in. 3. And the reason, despite the tome above, that I started this post. I still don't think a finale ever got it as right as Six Feet Under. Really, only the finale of the finale, but so indelible. So in keeping with the theme of the show. So pitch perfect for every single character [and the more more you know about the characters, the better the clip]. It's close to the best final six minutes of a show in the history of television. However many years later and I can't hear so much as 2 seconds of the ending song starting up with a flood of emotions recalling all to occur over the course of it. I remember watching it live, pre-twitter, pre-spoilers and I felt like I had been pummeled by Mike Tyson without Bruce Lee around to save me.

Just a waste of time? Or something else?

Aggravating.. Zoey brought a lot of overly contrived drama.

The writing gets a lot worse. And way too many episodes in that stretch do absolutely nothing to advance the plot. And most of us would probably agree that a lot of the characters start to become unlikeable.
Season 9 apart from maybe 5 episodes (and those episodes are well worth watching) is an unbelievable waste of time. And painfully bad. Though almost every moment involving the mother is worth watching. Granted, most episodes she doesn't even show up at all. |

Hey, should I watch 220 episodes of this intertwined serialized show, or just 200, just 195? Just order the seasons and watch at leisure, if the stories don't strike you, it's not like Buffy or Babylon 5 where it builds to a crescendo that blows your mind out of the blue. Hey, is it OK if I take a bathroom break from 1:45 to 2:00 of The Godfather? Sure, but if you love the the movie, you'll miss a lot of important stuff, and if you don't love it by 1:45, you might as well turn it off.
