Kids of Season 1 … let me tell you this story!
The beginning of a great sitcom in September 2005. The five main characters were introduced: Ted Mosby, Marshall Eriksen, Lily Aldrin, Barney Stinson and Robin Scherbatsky. We can see Ted Mosby stealing a blue French horn for Robin (Purple Giraffe), Marshall and Lily trying to do “classy adult things” and then sneaking out of their third floor bathroom window (The Sweet Tast of Liberty). and Barney is the master of disguise! (The horny pumpkin).
Ted and Marshall fight with swords over the apartment (The Duel), Lily learns the secret recipe for “The Ericksen Family Seven Layer Salad” (Belly Full of Turkey), Ted wakes up with a pineapple (The Pineapple Incident ) and Lily kicks the Korean Elvis in the tuberose! (Nothing good happens after 2 a.m.). How can we forget the office war between a guy named “Clark Butterfield” and Barney / Marshall? (Milk) or Ted dancing in the rain? (Go)
Season 2 … Let’s go to the mall … today!
Where were we? Oh yeah, season 2! Marshall finds a “special” friend to join him for brunch, concerts, and musicals (World’s Greatest Couple), Barney gets a cool new name (Swarley), Slap Bet shows up, and we watch the first video of the Teen pop star Robin Sparkles, Let’s go to the mall (Slap Bet). We meet Barney’s black gay brother James (Single Stamina), Ted invents the “Sensory Deprivator 5000” (Monday Night Football), Barney runs for the
New York City Marathon
(Lucky Penny) and Marshall shaves his head minutes before their wedding (Something Borrowed).
Season 3 It’s going to be Legen … wait for it … dary! This season is legendary!
Robin returns from Argentina with her new exotic boyfriend “Gael” (Wait for It), Ted and Barney pretend to be tourists to pick up girls (We are not from here), Ted goes for “The Belt” (Third Wheel), we know! the crazy / hot scale (How I met everyone else) and we witness the birth of a new holiday! (Slapping).
Is not sufficient? Ok … Ted gets a tramp stamp (The Platinum Rule), we get to watch Britney Spears flirt with Ted (Ten Sessions), learn about the basis of Corporate America (The Chain of Screaming) and see Ted and Barney surviving from 2 different accidents (miracles)
Season 4 works 2 out of 3 times!
The gang and Regis Philbin go for “The Best Burger in New York,” 80-year-old Barney beats up 22-year-old girls (Intervention), another new holiday is introduced (Not Father’s Day) and we know a technique that works two out of every three times! (The naked man). Ted and Barney have the opportunity to have their own bar (Three Days of Snow), they show that they are not too old for those “things” (Murtaugh), Barney and Marshall seduce in the SMS style of Ted (The Three Days Rule) and Ted gets an offer to design a murder house (as fast as he can)
and finally … Season 5 What happened here?
It was a good start. We all wanted to see Robin and Barney as a couple, and I was personally very excited about this new season. After 4 incredible seasons, I never thought this could happen. Don’t get me wrong: I’m still a huge fan. I wait every Monday night to see the new episode and I enjoy it. Not as much as it used to.
However, there are a couple of episodes that I really enjoyed: “Bagpipes” and “The Playbook.” That’s 2 of 9 … come on guys, I know you can do better than this!
