How I Met Your Mother
- Thread starter Ash
- Start date
Having just seen the start of series 6, I have to say the writing is only getting better. Each character is really coming into their own. Who is everyones favourite character? Mines Robin! Though I thought she was the weakest in the first couple of series she has really grown on me in the last two seasons.

It's kind of like replacement-Friends...
Not a replacement for real friends, I mean the TV show Friends. xD

I just don't get you UK/Commonwealth folks.
You send us Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, Hitchiker's Guide, Red Dwarf, Upstairs Downstairs, The Prisoner, I, Claudius, Prime Suspect, Reginald Perrin, Yes, Minister and all those other amazingly well written shows.
And we send you middlebrow sitcoms like "How I Met Your Mother" and "Two and a Half Men" and you consider THIS to be good TV?
It's embarrassing. It's like when my 80-year father says he thinks "Are You Being Served" is the only British sitcom worth watching. As an Anglophile, I'm appalled.

BTW, telling a natural born Brit that Upstairs, Downstairs is 'prestige' drama, is like telling an American the same thing about Dr Quinn: Medicine Woman or Little House on the Prairie. It's nostalgia driven fluff. You've just let the accent and the presence of a few respected actors (everyone has bills to pay) fool you.
