You can really see how the sausage is made in HIMYM on a rewatch. The first episode of any given season is always Ted getting over The Important Break-Up making references to the coming mom while serene indy music plays over a rainy cityscape with a yellow umbrella somewhere in the crowd, then halfway through the season Ted Falls In Love With Somebody Monumental while making more references to how that will lead to Meeting Your Mother and the last episode of the season is Ted discovering that Monumental Lady wasn't meant to be but it's ok because if it had been meant to be then he never would've Met Your Mother pa pa paa paaa da daa daa daa baraa bararara ra ra ra raraaaaa

I got into HIMYM just as I was about to start my PhD, and I wanted to live the HIMYM life so badly, living above a neighborhood bar.

Ted was overreliant on grand romantic gestures, and needed to grow up in a lot of ways, but if anyone was a scumbag on that show it was 100% Barney. Never mind that he's a serial womanizer (which thankfully he did give up while he and Robin were official), he's lied to Robin multiple times, including manipulating her emotions to get her to marry him. Even the most loving thing he did for her, the Canadian party on ice, was built on lies--Robin herself admits all this near the end of the series. And even if he did give up womanizing for his marriage, they did an episode about him passing the torch on to some kids, teaching them all about picking up women with elaborate lies.swickles posted:She meets everyone else throughout the ninth season, we only get like 2 or episodes where the mother and Ted actually interact. No, they interacted all the time in the 9th season, albeit in flash-forwards. HIMYM was really bad in the last few seasons, but Tracy--and her interactions with Ted--always belonged to the few good parts.

He only meets her in the show's present in the finale. Should I have said 40 minutes instead?

Barney was a huge scumbag, hell, most of the characters were poo poo people. The main difference is that at least in earlier seasons the show recognized that he was an scumbag.

The last time I saw an episode of HIMYM it was while I was at a car dealership waiting on paperwork. It was some episode about a bet where Barney get's to see or touch Alison Hannigan's boob's if he wins some bet, and the whole thing was just gross. The whole thing was handled in a way that was just terrible. Like you're part of a friendgroup where a serial horndog womanizer really wants to see/touch the breasts of a woman in the group, and no one else, including her, wants that to happen under any circumstances, but they've made some bet and he's gonna hold them to it and it's this big deal? That's like, leave and never speak to these people again territory, but it's all played for laughs.

Are you HIMYM/Friends folk forgetting that these were 22min comedy sitcom characters? You seem to be over analysing these character motivations and extrapolating minor storylines played for jokes into entire character arcs like it's some massive character essay. And should Ross being some skeezy stalker psychopath really effect your enjoyment of the show? This is the same forum who's favourite comedies are Arrested Development, Community, Always Sunny, Curb, Rick & Morty, Happy Endings, Broad City, You're the Worst... I could keep going but you get my point. lovely people make for good comedies, this is a secret to nobody.

Finally finished the last two seasons of Nikita, pretty much a perfect long ending. Amazing how they balance CW drama/spy action/kickass fights/some actual dark poo poo so well. Always funny recurring thing where non-specops mooks show up, talk big, immediately get ruined. Also friends rules

It's their unawareness of Ross being skeevy that's the issue. To use one example from your list, we know we're meant to hate Jimmy and Gretchen from You're The Worst, but Ross is presented as loveable and charmingly goofy.

It shits all over any of the other mega-comedies of the last 30 years. Edit: Wow, I didn't realise Seinfeld was as popular as it was. I thought that was more of a cult thing. Didn't that show get almost cancelled like 3 times? Looten Plunder fucked around with this message at 08:44 on Jul 27, 2017 |

Golden Girls. Edit: I guess that's not a "mega comedy"? In which case I posit that all mega comedies are poo poo.

Friends is the very definition of a show that's just there. It may have been popular but it was never good. It was the Two and a Half Men of its time. I'll take Scrubs over Friends, for gently caress's sake.Looten Plunder posted:Edit: Wow, I didn't realise Seinfeld was as popular as it was. I thought that was more of a cult thing.
