Critic Reviews
Season 1 Review:
We never thought we'd laugh out loud with a laugh track again. [23 Sep 2005, p.81]
Season 1 Review:
This is a cast that jells immediately, hitting on all cylinders from the very first scene.
Season 1 Review:
The script is humorous, though not hilarious, and the show boasts a fine cast that could, with time, jell into a great one.
Season 1 Review:
Like ''Friends," this is not a big-themed series so much as a bunch of little character jokes and relationship confusions getting batted around by an able cast.
Season 1 Review:
Manages to get the balance of cuddliness and snark just right.
Season 1 Review:
What truly makes the Bays-Thomas collaboration smarter than your average sitcom is the storytelling chances taken by the script.
Season 1 Review:
"How I Met Your Mother" introduces a level of unpredictability not usually found in comedies.
Season 1 Review:
A considerably above-average Generation Y sitcom that manages to be both sharp and sentimental, like "Seinfeld" with feeling.
Season 1 Review:
How I Met Your Mother is that rare TV comedy that relies more on character than jokes.
Season 1 Review:
You know you're in the presence of a fresh, original sitcom when you don't even mind the laugh track.
Season 1 Review:
The format is unusual, and the ending of the premiere nicely surprising - but the element that pushes this show into the potential hit category is Neil Patrick Harris.
Season 1 Review:
Could... become a very pleasant surprise.
Season 1 Review:
A viewer-friendly diversion.
Season 1 Review:
The premise is a winner, and the cast... couldn't be more appealing. But the overtly sitcom-y beats and one-liners seem overworked.
Season 1 Review:
The plot is clever and there's a nice twist at the end, but the actors haven't found a rhythm, nor have they developed any chemistry.
Season 1 Review:
The comedy that does occur in How I Met Your Mother isn't enough to compensate for its inconsistencies.
