Five for this, zero for the show. What a piece of shit show. Do the Neilson's include data from tv's in the hospital rooms of comatose people?

Was this a show? Has it ended? Was it about how that fellow met those kids' mother? And if so, how did they get 'n'-number of seasons out of it?

I'm guessing the ending was awful.

Thanks. i think I'll be okay. Having quit smoking and drinking, I now need to watch what I eat. I don't regret the first two, so I don't expect to regret the third. Plus it's going to help me get a handle on my best friend, who's been diabetic and obese for years and pounds down ice cream and candy bars. She's not going to be able to do those things around me any more.

My dad was born with a hole between the chambers of his heart. He nearly died in his twenties, had open heart surgery when it was still a big deal, and you had to go to Bethesda to get it. Well, he's had occasional problems with chest pains and heart skips, but his brother and his father had none of these, smoked and drank freely, and died in their fifties and forties, respectively. My Dad is 78, and still travels quite a bit. His heart condition probably saved his life, plus it allowed me to grow up with a dad who wasn't a drunk.

This was unequivocally the most overrated show in the history of television. I couldn't stand to watch it for more than a minute before my skin would begin to crawl and my stomach would lurch in repulsed second-hand embarrassment for all those involved in the production of this pile of dogshit.

Shakespeare once wrote a play he called "Much Ado About Nothing", openly mocking his own ridiculous plot, something about a guy being tricked into thinking his girlfriend was sleeping around, and the girlfriend ing responding by faking her death for some reason. Four hundred years later, no one cares about the plot, but everybody loves Beatrice and Benedict, a different pair of lovers whose ambivalent passion is funny, sexy, and real, and which is resolved by a plot device so simple that it would all be over in half an act if not for the silly goings on with Claudio and Hero.

If anybody will admit to liking "Friends", the whole thing was structured around Ross and Rachel, the dullest TV couple ever. Monica and Chandler got together purely by accident. The writers intended it to be a fling, but they were a great comedy couple, cute and funny as hell. Never cared about Ross and Rachel. They could have never gotten together in the finale, wouldn't have noticed.

The main premise of How I met your Mother was always ridiculous, and now that the horrible resolution has been delivered, it's unforgivable, and I may never watch it again. I have about 7 GBs on my hard drive that I'll be getting around to clearing one day.

But before I knew that so much SUCK had been built in, the supporting characters and certain comic devices were entertaining. For example whenever in the story Ted and his buddies were smoking weed, Ted would tell his kids they'd been "eating sandwiches", so the characters would be shown eating subs, holding them like they were huge joints. Or when Ted cant remember the name of a woman he dated 30 years ago, his character is shown introducing her to her friends "Guys, this is Blahblah. " I thought these were funny, but I loved Barney, Marshall and Lily. Also Ted's embarrassingly horny mom, who i think may have made out with Barney once. I would never watch a show that was only about Ted.

They didn't write themselves into a corner. That ending had been filmed at the very beginning, so the actors playing the kids wouldn't age. It was always going to end that way, and they spent nine years consciously building toward that shit sandwich of finale. I'd sure like to try the sandwiches they were eating when thought that up!

Neil Patrick Harris is balls out awesome. You guys don't appear to have checked out the link I posted, so there's this:

Note that he carries these amazing musical numbers, they don't carry him. This isn't one of those things where the celebrity stands there sort of singing while dancers surround him to create the illusion that he's participating in a musical number. His musical theater background is solid. It may be the iceberg beneath the TV career we're all familiar with.

And it occurs to me now that if "How I met your mother" had been about NPH's character,, it would have been awesome. Barney was a gay man's portrayal of a heartless womanizer who actually had a heart, in all things but love. Barney loved to take advantage of women with "daddy issues" when he himself had daddy issues like nobody's business. Barney never knew his father, and for years he had a delusional fantasy that his father was Bob Barker. I believe that he eventually met his father, who was a disappointment. Barney's daddy issues were finally resolved in an instant when he himself became the daddy that he and all his conquests had been searching for, in the one part of the finale that actually did not suck.

Show fucking sucks. I think 7th Heaven was less safe and funnier than this piece of shit.
