This show is amazing and hilarious and wonderful and so many other positive descriptions. Granted, it came out while I was still in college, but I’m known for being a little stubborn when it comes to different types of movies and unfamiliar shows. I’d been told I’d like it, but it wasn’t until a co-worker actually placed the Season 1 DVDs in my hand that I gave it a shot.
Thank God.
The cast has perfect chemistry, Jason Segel is the cutest, funniest, Everyguy around, and they have not even cracked the surface of the vast well of humor and talent that is Neil Patrick Harris. I have met Ted, and I think everyone should get to know him very well.
Even the first thrumming beats of the peppy theme song send me into raptures. I watch as the oddly realistic snapshots flash across the screen and I settle in for 28 minutes of hilarity, charm, and pitch perfect story telling.
I would prefer if this New York-based show were actually filmed in the city rather than a soundstage somewhere in LA. But the way the writers tackle the fears, questions, insecurities, relationships, embarrassments, and over all unpredictability of the twenty-something urban-dweller more than compensates.
I’m only half way through the first season and already I’m smitten. As Barney would say, this show is going to be LEGENDARY.
