Basic synapses: There is this guy named Ted Mosbey and he is an Architect. His best friends are Marshal Erickson (lawyer) and Barney (ladies man and big money maker). Marshal is dating/engaged/married to Lilly (kindergarten teacher/wannabe artist). And then there is Robin, who dates Ted, gets in the group, and near season 5 or so dates Barney. Pretty easy right? Ted, Marshal, Barney, Lilly, and Robin. They all hang out at this bar for the most part, and they are in New York City. The major thing is that Ted is telling all these stories about the five of them to his kids, answering the question How he met their mother. And trust me, he starts from the beginning. I mean, the show is on season 7 and still going.
Basically, you start from his past and keep working your way up, through every new girlfriend of Teds, though there isn't a new one every episode and some you really believe will be with him forever. And if you are afraid that will get boring or they will run out of ideas, I assure you they don't. Plus, his friends are living their lives too and they tell stories along the way. It's hard to understand without really watching, but I assure you it is great.
One of my best friends, Lexi, introduced me to it, so I blame my addiction on her. After all, she is the one who introduced me to the show. It is on Netflix Watch It Now up through season six. If you make it that far, you might have to do what I did and buy most of season seven off of Amazon's Watch It Now program or a similar thing. Episode 13 for season seven is on hulu.com right now though, so don't make the mistake of buying that one too. I sincerely hope and readers consider watching it. It'll blow your mind, and even has some great musical numbers ;) All comedy all the time.
Sincerely Sydney
