A guest writer pens down his first time experiences watching ‘How I Met Your Mother’
As the title suggests, I am not the regular writer here, but I happen to download stuff from the related sites of this blog and also the team here, so with their humble permission I want to write about my first time experiences with this show, How I Met Your Mother.
First of all, let me admit that I have been dumb enough not to have any knowledge about the existence of this show, until a few weeks ago. That is, I knew about the title and all, heard that it is a great piece of work, but nothing more than that. A friend of mine met me after a long time, a month ago and became adamant that I must see the show, at least once. He tried motivating me by telling me that the show is as super as our good old Friends, which even today, we all watch so regularly.
I listened to him well, got busy in work and forgot all about the conversation when last week, another friend came visiting and this one came with the episodes of the first season of How I Met Your Mother in hand. He dumped them on my system and told me that I had to watch it.
Hence, after much pathetic kind of hesitation I watched the first season this weekend, and let me confess, I am kind of addicted. The whole concept of going to 2030, where a father is telling his children about their mother, is amazing. The humor quotient of the show is quite well too. I do not have much knowledge about the characters and actors, for which I will check this blog, as it has a lot of information for first timers like me, but that lady who plays Robin is gorgeous. The rest of the actors are amazing as well, they perform their roles very well, which is always significant in a situational comedy.
Comparing it to friends does not seem like a good idea. Although the thing where all the characters hang up at a beer bar seems somewhat familiar to the Central Perk Café in Friends, rest, no other similarity I could detect.
Thank you all for giving me this wonderful opportunity to write here.
