How I Met Your Mother

How I Met Your Mother

How I Met Your Mother is a sitcom that aired on (CBS) from 2005 to 2014. It follows the story of Ted, a bachelor living in Manhattan, as he recounts to his children the journey that led him and his four best friends to meet his wife. 

The pilot episode opens with a photo collage of Ted, set to the theme song of the show, that serves to introduce us to both the character and his lifestyle. At the beginning of the episode, we see Marshall, Ted’s college best-friend, propose to his then-girlfriend Lily, leading Ted to question his own life, as the reality of not having a serious girlfriend becomes clearer than ever.  

This leads him and his eccentric ‘other best-friend’ Barney to play a pick up game at their local bar, McLaren’s, where to their surprise Ted meets an eligible girlfriend, Robin.  However, an over-enthusiastic Ted exclaims that he is on love with her on the first date, perhaps ruining his chances forever. 

I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode of How I Met Your Mother. I found the show to be extremely well constructed and thought-out, as well as funny and likeable. The pilot episode already seized my attention, and made me feel empathy and love for all the characters. I highly recommend the show to anybody!
