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.

What do you think? Do you like the How I Met Your Mother TV series? Do you think it should have ended when it did? Would you like to see a reunion someday?
Friends with Better Lives premiered on March 31, 2014 after the finale of How I Met Your Mother on CBS.
Best sitcom ever. Period. Friends next. But HIMYM is a solid number 1. Great writing, long term storylines, huge surprises and twists, and lovable characters. You get attached to them and their stories and this show did a fantastic job at balancing comedy with serious drama at times, downright emotional parts. The ending made complete sense, rather yky like it or not. The writings knew the story from the beginning and I give them huge props for remaining true to their original screenplay . Definitely recommend EVERYONE watch it. It’s available on Hulu. Check it out!
I’ve never understood this banal shows popularity. It’s so lowbrow, unfunny, boring, it makes me wonder how a show like The Americans isn’t winning Emmys handed so freely to such lesser shows like this.
Uhhh huh. Yeah okay. I never understood why people feel compelled to read about a show they don’t like and then comment about it. But yaaaa, you know you’re a fan. We all are. It’s a great show.
I liked everything but the last two episodes. idd like to have more episodes ofw hta happens in allt heir lives.
I didn’t know this show ended ethier. I didn’t get to see all the new episodes they showed and didn’t know what channel it was on. I loved the show it was really funny. Please continue making more episodes.
I liked the show a lot.
I don’t think it should have ended when it did.
I didn’t like the two final episodes.
I liked all the original characters a lot.
And; yes I’d like to some sort of reunion; or even a film.
