I started watching this on and off during the storyline where Ted was dating one of his students, who I think was room mates with the woman who is to end up as the mother. I stopped watching because I hadn't seen any of the previous series so I was unfamiliar with any background stories.
So I've been watching it on E4 recently because they've been showing it from the beginning, two episodes a day at 1pm and 1.30pm. And I love it. I was a fan of Friends and have seen pretty much every episode of that, but I like the characters in HIMYM a lot more.
However, the annoying this is E4 are skipping random episodes (I think it's the ones with a slightly more "adult" storyline). It doesn't seem to make an impact with the flow of it, but it does seem to make it look like Ted's with someone one episode, and by the next they're breaking up, because an episode about them in between has been missed. I suppose that's what happens when it's aired during the day!

Yeah. Also it's not long before they've shown their stock of episodes and you end up seeing the same ones on E4 all the time. I didn't think I'd seen that many, but now every time I watch E4 I've already seen it. I have the box sets but I need to work out which episodes I've already seen.
I've tried time and time again to get into HIMYM, but that still hasn't happened. I love Jason Segel, NPH and Alyson Hannigan but still find it to be the biggest load of rubbish. I think the constant 'will they? Won't they?' that was Ted and Robin annoyed me so much that it put me off for good.
Loooool, he doesn't 'basically rape' them at all. The whole joke with Barney is that he's an exagguration of 'lad culture', and it's basically a criticism since he eventually matures and grows out of it.
Also people are stupid enough to fall for 'lads' pretending to be nice, and so the exaggurated stupidity of his 'victims' is mocking gullable people, too.
it's a joke within a joke as well, as nph is openly gay in real life
I don't understand the premise, why is it called HIMYM -whose mother are they on about and why?
There used to be two kids on a sofa at the start and / or end of most episodes. I guess they grew up too much to be used any more. The girl went off to be Alex in Nikita not sure about the boy.
They're Ted's kids. He still talks to the kids in voiceover openning most episodes but you don't see the kids anymore. So when you hear an episodes start with something like "Kids, it was the summer of 2012 and Barney had slept with 600...", this is Ted in 2030 or something, talking to his kids about how he met their mother.
^^^ Make the most of it. Rumblings in the US are that it's being messed about with in the schedule and could probably be cancelled even though it's popular.

Yes I'm disappointing at the way they treated 'Happy Endings'.
It's a good series and slightly better than HIMYM IMO.

Thanks, I've not seen any episodes with the little children at the beginning.
First 4 seasons were great but now I agree it's poor. They've been repeatingthe same Barney/Robin stuff for 3 years and Lily may aswell not exist and if my friends caused the amount of self serving grief this lot do then they'd be long gone.
I'm finding this dire now and the old good episodes don't have the same re-watchability (yes made up word) that Friends has.
Robin used to be a good character but now she's just obnoxious and the whole Ted/Robin and now Barney/Robin roundabout is tiring. Especially in the current episodes.
I don't get why a lot of people hate poor oul Ted so much I think he's OK. Barney, Lilly and Marshal kinda fill in the gaps but they are so camp and cartoony now if you knew them in real life you'd kill them.
Is Ted now telling a story within a story? Why are his kids still listening to this garbage haha

Interesting. I was half hoping they would wrap things up this season but at least this allows them to write a proper ending .

I don't think that's accurate. It's HUGE with Students and adults in their early to mid 20s.

Pretty sure they were talking about Happy Endings

My thoughts exactly
Shame:( coz it's a really funny show.. Funnier than HIMYM
