After Dr. Horrible I realized I had an incredible man-crush on Neil Patrick Harris. He’s just incredibly talented and hasn’t really got a great chance to utilize it, but I keep hearing about how amazing he is in How I Met Your Mother. Throw in co-stars Jason Segel (who I’ve loved in everything I’ve seen), Alyson Hannigan (Buffy alum, yes!), add in some favorable reviews and this was a show I had to see.
I ended up getting disc one of season one off of my Netflix account. I flew through the disc in one night and ended up adding the rest of the season the next night. It ended up being so much better than I ever imagined (mostly due to Neil Patrick Harris) that I ended up getting season two right away (cutting off Mad Men in the process). While the second season wasn’t as good as the first, it was still high quality television. There is so many legit laugh out loud moments on this show that I don’t know how it took me until the fourth season to check it out, but I am so glad I did. read more
