53. How I Met Your Mother

Favorite character: Probably Barney, though Lilly is close

Seen: All of it, unfortunately

Ugh, I don't really want to talk about this one right now because it's late and I can't talk about this one without ranting. The show is definitely one of the better sitcoms of recent years. The main cast is all solid (in fact, the main protagonist Ted is probably the weakest of the main five, and even he's not THAT bad). The rest are all at the top of the game, and even though the show can get pretty repetitive, it's still a damn funny show. It follows through on long term jokes (like the 5 slaps and the dopplegangers), it's easy to binge watch a handful of episodes at a time without it getting tiring, etc. And had the show ended just two episodes earlier, I'd really have no complaints. Rant incoming: What the FUCK were they thinking with that ending?! It was EASILY the worst ending of any show I've ever seen. Yeah, sure, let's just abandon all the character development of the ENTIRE SERIES so that the writers can have their fucking otp end up together. They spent the entire series developing these relationships, having Ted and Barney and Robin all develop and having Barney come to love Robin as an adult and vice versa and have Ted finally accept it and move on, only to fucking retcon it in the last episode. Yeah, we just spent the entire last season building up how Robin and Barney's relationship was totally legitmate and how much he had changed over time but FUCK THAT GOTTA GET A DIVORCE LITERALLY THE NEXT EPISODE BECAUSE TED AND ROBIN NEED TO END UP TOGETHER. Like, you realize, this means the ENTIRE SHOW was Ted explaining to his kids how their dead mother was really just his fallback because he's actually always been in love with the woman he raised them to view as their aunt and that their RECENTLY DEAD MOTHER was actually just an insignificant part of his love life and the kids are TOTALLY cool with it. FUCK IT. FUCK THE LAST TWO EPISODES. But yeah, good show.
