How I Met Your Mother (TV)

How I Met Your Mother is a show that has been around for several seasons but hasn't receive as much attention as it deserves. It is very funny while still injecting serious themes that help make the show both entertaining and meaningful (but not THAT meaningful, it's still TV).

The show's main character Ted (Josh Radnor) is searching for a wife because his best friend Marshall (Jason Segel) just proposed to his long-time wife Lilly(Alyson Hannigan). The search is made interesting by his friends Barney's (Neil Harris) unique dating philosophy and approach to life.

In some way this show compares to Friends but with a younger cast and a narrower theme. And, unlike Friends, there are scenes (though not the norm) that are almost brilliant and the non-brilliant content is is generally very enjoyable. See a good scene below:
