Editorial Review:
"Friends" minus one. The series is narrated through flashbacks from the future about the 5 friends and their dating misadventures
Description of How I Met Your Mother: Season Three:
No other sitcom is as gleefully inventive as How I Met Your Mother. The basic setup is familiar stuff: Five charming, good-looking twentysomethings pal around New York City seeking love and happiness. But many episodes have a narrative trick. For example, when his friends try to persuade Ted (Josh Radnor) from going on a date with the doctor removing the butterfly tattoo he got while drunk, their justifications send the show careening back and forth among three interconnected flashbacks. Other episodes repeat scenes from different perspectives, or leap forward, or interrupt scenes to provide necessary exposition. None of this is groundbreaking, but it is consistently smart and clever--and when combined with crisp comic dialogue and zippy performances, it's pure sitcom delight. This is a show that manages to make a gang's in-jokes actually funny. Season Three is absolutely essential for any fan of the show, because this is the season we actually meet the title character; after two years of preamble, the mother to Ted's unnamed kids finally appears! But there are abundant other reasons to get this season, including Marshall (Jason Segel, Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and Lily (Alyson Hannigan, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) buying a crooked apartment, Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) getting the yips and getting slapped, and the return of Robin Sparkles, Canadian teenybopper alter-ego of Robin (Cobie Smulders). There's a wee bit of unfortunate stuntcasting (though she doesn't embarrass herself, Britney Spears still sticks out by dint of sheer inescapable celebrity), but it's a minor flaw in an all-around superb season. Add in an abundance of commentaries, featurettes, music videos, additional scenes, and How I Met Your Mother: Season Three is clearly a must-have for fans and a great introduction for newcomers. --Bret Fetzer

How I met your Mother: Season Three 
2009-09-16 - How I met your Mother:Season Three is another funny and entertaining experience in this epec story. I love how the prospect of meeting the woman in question is flashed in front of you at every moment but is she ever reveiled you might ask? Well between you and me there is a moment in this season where I think they may bump into each other for a split second but that may just be my over active imagination playing tricks on me but if you really want to fine out you need to get this season. Though if you have not seen the previous two seasons you must. If you have seen the previous seasons all you need to know is Robin Sparkles has another appearence as well as the slap bet rears it ugly but funny head again. A must have DVD
"Let's go to the Mall... Today..!!!"
2009-09-07 - This is one of the best comedy shows in a long time. It mixes real people with great fun and insane situations, creating an endless supply of laughter.
Only thing I don't like about HIMYM is the whole Stella thing, as I think they totally milked that idea to the extreme.
Just a FYI.. those 2 kids were taped in early season 1 - they have since grown considerably and would not fit the profile today. Also, the writers have no idea how the whole story ends, as they only write a few shows ahead of time, maybe have ideas for the rest of the season, so it's a very dynamic show.
The entire cast and crew of HIMYM are fantastic and I hope the show will continue for many years.
This show is Legen.....wait for it.....dary!!!
2009-07-11 - One word for this amazing show: LEGEN.....wait for it and I hope you're not lactose-intolerant because the next part of this word is...........DA(I)RY!!!
If you thought that line was corny, you need to watch this show because the actor who delivers it (Neal Patrick Harris) is at his best and corniest in this AWESOME show delivering lines you never thought could be passed off on a TV show. But this is by no means a one-man act....the whole main cast is absolutely funny and you are always amused, entertained, and intrigued by the silly and yet-so-new-york-like-life. And viewers always come back for more, not just for the humor and the story line but after all, don't we all want to know how Ted Mosby met the mother of his children? If you liked FRIENDs and SEINFELD, then you are going to absolutely LOVE this show!!!
HIMYM is legen.....dary!
