How I Met Your Mother

Reconnect the dots in Ted Mosby’s winding journey to fatherhood in the show that introduced the world to Barney’s Bro Code and The Playbook, Robin Sparkles and canadiansexacts.org. Ted (Josh Radnor) and his inseparable group of close friends—sassy kindergarten teacher and wannabe artist Lily Aldrin (Alyson Hannigan), Bigfoot-obsessed environmental lawyer Marshall Eriksen (Jason Segel), Canadian tomboy Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders) and, of course, womanizer and terminal “bro-dawg” Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris)—navigate the landmine-fraught New York City dating scene, and the results are messy, hilarious and all-around awesome.
