It’s an awesome mix of characters. They’re all kooky in their own very special ways. How I Met Your Mother also has a special kind of humor, it doesn’t appeal to a lot of people (well, maybe I’m mistaken), like how FRIENDS touched audiences of its generation.
There’s just the right amount of romance and “sweetness” as someone put it, and there’s a hell of a lot of comedy. The first season was mostly about Ted meeting Robin and then screwing it all up because he wanted what Marshall and Lily already had—a certain future together since they just got engaged, which is what started Ted’s whole search for Mrs. Mosby in the first place. Eventually, Ted found someone else (Victoria), but Robin realized that she was in love with him. In one episode, the real Barney is revealed as a goody-goody, touchy feely hippie virgin whose heart was broken by a girl who went for a “suit”. Later, Ted and Robin end up together in the last episode, but Lily and Marshall call the wedding off and break up when Lily tries to pursue art in San Francisco.
The first half of the season two was about Robin and Ted in love and Marshall and Lily trying to be around each other. Marshall and Lily get back together and then finally get married. Right before the wedding, Ted and Robin realize that it isn’t going to work because Ted wants to settle down and Robin still wants a adventures out of life.
In the third season, Ted meets Stella, a doctor who removed the butterfly tattoo he got after he and Robin broke up. Barney screws with her secretary, Abby (Britney Spears), who later tries to ruin his chances by coming in to tell the girl about what he does when he leaves for a while. Marshall and Lily buy a house in “Dowisetrepla” or Downwind of the Sewage Treatment Plant. They couldn’t get a big enough loan because Lily has a ton of debt from her credit cards. Somewhere in the middle of it, Barney falls in love with Robin after they sleep together one night.
Season four brings Marshall problems with work and his life because he can’t be an environmental lawyer and then starts to work with Barney at Goliath National Bank, a bank that Barney’s company acquired. Ted proposes to Stella, but gets left at the altar. Barney at first tries to be the guy Robin would consider, but he still chooses to sleep around. Robin moves in with Ted and gets a 4am news reporting gig that Barney got for her. Robin finds out that Barney likes her, so she tells him that he loves her—a move called “The Mosby,” if you want to end a relationship, you tell the other person you love him/her. But Robin’s does have feelings for Barney, something starts between the two on the season finale. Ted gets fired and starts Mobius Designs, but fails. He’s about to change careers and teach architecture, he says that Mrs. Mosby was in one of those classes.
