How I Met Your Mother

Just finished season 1 of this is and it was very good! Never heard of it, but a friend recommended it and I'm hooked.

Barney and Marshall are very funny!

Starting season 2

It was on BBC 2 but shown around midnight and kept stopping and starting. I don't think they even started season 2. Last I heard, E4 has the rights to all 4 seasons now.

Trouble showed the first two seasons way after the first was shown on the BBC

Didnt know E4 had the rights - but knowing 4 it will be many years before they see the light of day and will probably be shown one epispode a year at 3 in the morning. Prove me wrong E4, prove me wrong

Re: How I Met Your Mother

Thanks guys, this is immense! They could easily show this on Channel 4 the same time as Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond etc in the morning.

Re: How I Met Your Mother

I am also a big fan of it.
It was a shame that bbc stopped showing it, but showing at obscure times did not help its cause.
I did think that the last series (series 4) was the worst and relied upon Barney too heavily.

Re: How I Met Your Mother

Okay season 2 was great! Barney is a legend :P

So started season 3, first 7 eps but it is a bit crap... I don't find it funny like the first 2 seasons, I hope it improves.

Re: How I Met Your Mother

I watched them all over the course of a couple of months, one of the best shows around, I've gone from that to two and a half men, which I watched the first season of on 5? some years ago but they moved it around so I never caught the rest, now on series 4 only two more to go, what next??

Re: How I Met Your Mother

I love this show, watched all the current seasons pretty much back to back and thought it was one of the more funny things I have seen in a long while!

Got better and better for me!

Cant wait for the new season

Re: How I Met Your Mother

Just started watching this recently with the wife.

We are really enjoying it and tend to watch about 2 or 3 episodes a night. At the moment we are about 13 into season 1 with the remainder of the 4 seasons to date all ready to watch

We have no idea how we didn't find it sooner. I think we have finally found a show worthy of replacing repeats of Friends in our 6pm - 7pm comdedy viewing time slot (that is until we get through all episodes aired to date)!
