When I first started watching "How I Met Your Mother" I had to find most of the episodes online so that I could catch up to the most recent episodes. In doing so this also helped me find websites that carry other television series episodes from past seasons and has truly broadened my perspective on different shows I watch. Entering college you go through such a life changing transformation in schedule and lose the opportunity to keep up on weekly television shows and watch new episodes when they first air. With online television, it enables the typical college kid, without the checkbook to have Tivo or DVR, to still watch their favorite television shows. "How I Met Your Mother" is a television series I never had the opportunity to watch as it first became popular once I became preoccupied with school work.
Humor
The humor in "How I Met Your Mother," in my opinion, attracts the typical viewer of sitcoms in today's generation. Barney's character proposes easy to pick-up catch phrases like "Legen... wait for it... Dary" that if people watch the show it's easy to quote and even promote the show to friends. Along with that, the humor in the show and storyline allow viewers to truly relate to the characters, as long as they connect to the humor and have that kind of personality,
Stay Focused
One problem I do recognize with some episodes in the show, the idea of staying focused on the ultimate idea. Several episodes seem to just be the typical sitcom with hardly any storyline or "purpose," the Seinfeld type show, when in this show specifically, the title states the purpose of every show. The purpose is to find out how Ted Mosby's met his children's mother, some episodes don't seem to go along that storyline.
