With the writers strike going on, and impacting the amount of new shows coming out, I find myself dipping into those that have been out for 2 or 3 seasons already, and renting them from Blockbuster, or downloading them. I recently stumbled across How I Met Your Mother, and I've got to say that it is HILARIOUS.

Basic plot summary for the pilot was:
Egged on by his best friend's upcoming nuptials, Ted (Radnor) believes he finds the woman of his dreams in Robin (Smulders) -- though destiny might have something different in mind.
and so far (I've only seen the first season), the show seems to follow in that vein.

What makes this show great though, is not the lead actor (Josh Radnor who plays Ted Mosby), but rather the supporting cast. Alyson Hannigan playing Lily, Jason Segel as Marshall, Cobie Smulders as Robin, Bob Saget as Old Ted are all great, and the one who really steals the show is Neil Patrick Harris as Barney.

If you haven't seen the show, I highly recommend it.

Ted: So, who are we picking up?
Barney: I dunno... her? Or maybe her...
Ted: Wait, so when you said we were going to pick someone up at the airport, you meant we were going to *pick someone up* at the airport?
Barney: Yeah...
Ted: You're kidding!
Barney: False!
