TV show description:
A sitcom that’s best described as “a love story in reverse.”
The series begins in the year 2030, with Ted Mosby (voiced by Bob Saget) telling his teenage children the story of how he met and fell in love with their mother.
The story he relates begins in 2005 with 27-year-old architect Ted (Josh Radnor) sharing an apartment with best friend and law student Marshall Eriksen (Jason Segel) and kindergarten teacher Lily Aldrin (Alyson Hannigan). After a long courtship, Marshall proposes to Lily and Ted starts to focus on finding his own soul mate – much to the disgust of his successful and womanizing friend Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris).
Soon afterward, Ted meets TV reporter Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders) and immediately falls in love with her. Though Ted and Robin date, it’s made clear from the pilot episode that she isn’t his eventual bride.

Still waiting for the series finale of this really dull comedy.
this is a great show
uh ya i just started to watch this show and i just wanna say that i want to have its baby, yaa thats wuts up
branimir you clearly have no sense of humor at all, this show is hilarious.
besides being damned funny, it has a LOT of heart – there’s real storyline to it and you get involved with the characters. screw you.
i let some friends borrow the first seaon and now they’re hooked..
so finally they got it right.
something everyone can laugh about!!!
LOVE IT!!! HAVE A HUGE GROUP OF FRIENDS THAT LOVES IT UGH! LOVE IT!
Can’t wait to find out the identity of “Mrs. Ted’, but then the show would be over
so, since i love the show, I hope that i don’t find out for many years…..
No, then he would just start to explain how Uncle Barney met their Aunt. haha.
Who ended up being the mother? I thought it was going to be Robin but he refers to her as “Aunt” Robin….so, who was it?
@Stevie Ray: The show’s not over yet. They haven’t revealed it yet.
