Review

When "How I Met Your Mother" first appeared on the small screen I refused to watch it. But then I watched an episode (I think it was Episode 5 when they went to a club) and a thought it was pretty funny. I must admit that the new show isnt laughoutloud slapyourknee HILARIOUS...but it has potential to be great! Every character in the CBS show (5 in total) are likable but I must give extra kudos to the characters played by Alyson Hannigan (Lily) and Neil Patrick Harris (Barney). I may be biased towards my liking of Alyson Hannigans Lily (due to her previous comedic roles American Pie Series and Buffy the Vampire Slayer) but she brings a charm and charismatic flair to the show. Also Neil Patrick Harris Barney is GREAT!!! He basically plays a creep which Im sure everyone is familiar with (because I know I sure am!). I find Barney hilarious!!! He IS that creepy guy at the club but thats what makes him lovable.

All in all this show has potential! As long as the stories acting and writing keep up then I am definitely going to tune in! I think once people start getting to know the characters better theyll start tuning in as well. Everyone always compares this show to "Friends" which didnt really get popular until after the first season. Hopefully this show will continue to be funny and exceed our expectations. But WATCH IT!
