Customer Reviews

Excellent show, excellent price
Regardless of the cost, this is an excellent show that is worth owning at home. I love rewatching these episodes and never get tired of them like other shows. I find something new in them every time. They are HILARIOUS and a staple with my husband and coworkers. Men and women alike can appreciate the humor in this show.

Excellent Series!
When this series first aired on t.v., I was a new mom and wasn't able to watch it. I started catching the show after "The Big Bang Theory" last year and I was hooked. I bought the first season for Christmas and decided to buy this set because the price was reduced and too good to pass up. This is currently one of the best comedies on t.v. right now. My other favorite comedies are "The Office", "Scrubs", and "The Big Bang Theory". This show is definitely one to have on DVD - everyone can relate to one of the characters and to some of the disastrous dating stories told on the show.

The entire cast is very funny and likeable. I also LOVE the character "Barney" (Neil Patrick Harris). I was never a fan of "Doogie Howser" but he is SO FUNNY in this series - his gestures even make me laugh! I am a fan of Alyson Hannigan from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" - it only took me a couple of episodes for me to not think of her as the "Willow" character anymore. I am just SO glad to have found this show in this current t.v. wasteland of reality shows...

Another great hit from CBS!
CBS has done it again..a fresh new comedy, and right out of the gate, the chemistry between all of the main characters feels settled in, like they have known each other as long as the story alludes to.

The premise: Ted's best friend has just gotten engaged, and at the age of 27, Ted is starting to feel that "settle down" kinda feeling. And it's his friends mission to help him find that perfect woman!! The voice of Bob Saget plays the "future Ted" who is telling his teenage children all about "how I met your Mother"...and he does a great job of interjecting the humor, embarrassment, terror and ultimately, the pilot ending Surprise,in a kind of "Wonder Years" type format that suits this whole concept very well.

Josh Radnor plays Ted, and is a great comedic actor, with very good timing, and very believable as slightly bumbling yet definitely desirable man ready to start out a new life.

Neil Patrick Harris plays the lovable, yet obnoxious "other" best friend Barney...and his performance was great!! What a comedian he is!! I look forward to seeing more of him in this well written role!!

Alyson Hannigan plays Lily... for all you Buffy fans, you will appreciate and enjoy the new comedic talent that is coming to light in this great young actress.

Jason Segel plays Marshall..Ted's Best Friend..again, another good fresh comedian who has spot on timing, and just compliments this ensemble cast perfectly.

I haven't been this excited about a comedy since Friends...I hope that this does well..with the surprise ending that it had, I can see how they can possibly take this show into a fairly long run with lots of fun twist and turns. I hope they can come up with a lot of them!! I am definitely watching this one again!! Bravo CBS!!
