My New "Friends"

even though "Friends" (the popular sitcom a few years back) has ended, reruns are still being shown on a local channel. and i still watch it, no matter how many times i've seen it. and i still laugh as hard as if i was watching every episode for the first time.

then, i saw an episode of "how i met your mother (HIMYM)", while waiting for "friends" to start. and instantly, tantan and i got hooked. i know, i know.... we kinda discovered it late. 6 years late to be exact. dont get me wrong, i've heard of it, just didnt take the time to check it out. i was sad when "friends" ended its run. i still ask why they had to end it. they were doing great. ratings were high. but like all other good things, it must end, i guess.

HIMYM is supposedly about ted mosby and how he met his wife, as narrated to his kids by his future self in the year 2030. but really, it revolves around the lives of 5 friends (covering relationships, work, gimmicks, quirks) just like the characters in "friends". they also have their own "centerpark", the "maclaren pub", where they hang out. lots of similarities but because each episode has been cleverly written, you can overlook and forgive them. you'll actually only realise these similarities when you think about it.

i particularly love neil patrick harris' character, (have you met...) barney stinson. he is the bomb! really, im in love with him!!! well, he's a serial womanizer, devious and cunning in every sense. but he's also the sweetest friend and though his ways are mean sometimes, he just wants what's best for you. come to think of it, most of the time, he has a valid point. and his catchphrases? LEGEN- (wait for it...) -DARY! lol. i did say i love him, right? lol

we are slowly catching up. we're on the 5th season already. im getting a little bit sad bec once we catch up, we'll have to wait a week before we see the next episode. and that sucks! i hope this lasts longer than "friends" did.
