I've lost count of how many times I've watched and rewatched this series. I definitely identify with some of the characters, even in their everyday situations.

No matter how I was feeling, I could always sit down and watch this show and have a big smile on my face. I loved every second of it!

Is really fun, and it's better than Friends. Just saying.

For me, this season feels more like a transition leading to the known conclusion. Each character's growth is meticulously depicted, making audiences feel as if they are real members of this society and not just characters in a show.

Another pinnacle in the series, where the beloved character Robin truly shines. With a blend of subtle comedy, profound sorrow, and a touch of optimism, this season stands out.

Better than Friends

A lot of people claim this show is just a new Friends, but I can say this one is better because it’s more realistic. The characters and the situations are much more relatable than on the other one.

I was, and I will always be, Team Robin. I don’t know how people didn’t see it since the beginning, Robin and Ted were meant to be together. They tried to put Robin with Barney but that didn’t make any sense.

#TeamMother

I’m Team Mother forever! I will never accept that they killed her at the end. To me, the real end is that alternative one they released later, I’m always trying to forget that last episode.

Season 9

Contains spoilers
So, what they did with the mother, totally unacceptable. I understand that being the original plan, but since they decided to introduce us to Tracy, such an amazing character, that should have been changed. I wanted to see her happy ending more than Ted’s.

Considerada una de las mejores series de todos los tiempos, muchos dicen que es una copia de Friends, pero no lo es. A pesar de las similitudes, Cómo conocí a mi madre mantiene su originalidad. Numerosas historias divertidas que emocionarán a cualquiera, además de los misterios sobre la piña, el trabajo de Barney y la identidad de la Madre, entre muchos otros, sin olvidar sus frases memorables.

¡Sencillamente maravillosa! How I Met Your Mother es una de las mejores series que he visto jamás. No hubo un solo episodio que no me hiciera reír muchísimo. ¡La serie y los personajes se han ganado un lugar en mi corazón!

Es la primera sitcom que vi completa y desde siempre noté que recae muchísimo en el drama más que en la comedia; con el paso de los años conocí otros shows y me gustaron más, pues siento que HIMYM tiene un humor muy específico que solo los que ya vieron la serie entenderán, a diferencia de otras que se puede ver con amigos o familia sin tener idea de la trama, aquí es difícil encontrar un capítulo gracioso para pasar el rato; y ni se diga del horrendo final.
