#62- Legen...wait for it...dary!

If you have not been watching How I Met Your Mother for the last 5 seasons....then what the eff have you been doing with your life.
I absolutely love love love this show.

I'll be honest and say that I haven't been there since the beginning but I did hop on the HIMYM boat around Season 3 and have been setting sail ever since with the gang. For those you don't know the characters, let me introduce you:
Ted Mosby
(Jason Radnor)
Ted is the character that the series is pretty much based around. It shows him talking to his kids in 2030 and telling them the story of How He Met Their Mother (hence the shows name). The Ted character is kinda douchey but lovable. He's a hopeless romantic but just can't seem to find the right girl.
Marshall Erickson
(Jason Segel)
I may be biased but I absolutely love Jason Segel and his character of Marshall makes me puffy heart him even more. It's sad but I hate Lily for marrying him...and it's just a TV show. Marshall is the extremely lovable goof in the series. He has a soft heart and he's not afraid to show it, well except when he doling out slaps to Barney.
Lily Aldrin
(Allison Hannigan)
Lily is Marshall's college sweetheart and now wife. They lovingly refer to each other as Marshmallow and Lilypad and are probably the most cutest and funniest couples on TV...well them and Jim and Pam. I do have a slight hate, mentioned above, but I like her character. She's witty but yet the voice of reason and the slap bet commisioner of the group.
Barney Stintson
(Neil Patrick Harris)
Talk about reviving your career. From Doogie Howser, To White Castle, To Here! Though Barney is technically not the lead character, he steals ever scene he's in. He plays a womanizer so well on this show that I even forget he's gay in real life. Between his one liner, bro codes, and dating rules...Barney brings the funny to this show.
Robin Scherbatsky
(Cobie Smulders)
Robin is scotch drinking, Canadian pop star who is more likely to agree with the guys thinking then her BFF's Lily. She's a lipstick tomboy but during these last few seasons has been softing up. I like watching this character because she so easily plays both sides of the team.

This is not the best biography of each of the characters but that is the surface stuff.

Anywho, one of my goals on my 101 Things to Do in 1001 Days was to watch all the seasons and episodes of series and during my bloggy break last month , that's what I was doing. Me and Big Man would cuddle up in bed everynight and go through episodes of HIMYM. I put Big Man on and now he loves the show just as much as me.

I highly recommend this show to everyone and if you don't want to go spend a crap load to get caught on the series, you can just go here and watch all the episodes for free.

LOVE this show, lol.

I'll be honest, I only watched a handful of episodes up until this season. Then, it went on DVR and officially became one of my obsessions, lol.

Great descriptions of each character! You're completely right that NPH plays a womanizer so well. I do forget he's gay in real life, at times, lol.

You are totally doing what I did last summer! J and I started with season 1 last summer and watched the whole series. I was unemployed at the time and on his off days we would have day-long marathons! I Love it!!!

Hehe, I like your previous post. That cake topper is super cute.

I think I may need to take a look at that show. I haven't seen it before but maybe now that I have no more school I'll have more time that can be allocated to television watching...who knows?

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Enjoy the show!
