Trivia:

Alyson Hannigan, who plays Lily, is perhaps best known prior to starring in ‘How I Met Your Mother’ for her role on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997). The creators of both of these shows -- Joss Whedon of the Buffy series and Carter Bays and Craig Thomas of HIMYM -- all graduated from Wesleyan University, as well as did the characters Lily, Ted, and Marshall on HIMYM.

Goofs:

Continuity: In "The Slutty Pumpkin," Robin tells Ted that she never played any team sports - only singles tennis. However, in "Best Prom Ever," she talks about missing her prom for field hockey nationals.

Quotes:

Barney: It's going to be legendary!
Ted: Don't say that! You're too liberal with the word "legendary".
[flashback to Barney standing at Ted's door in snow gear with a shovel]
Barney: We're building an igloo in Central Park! It's going to be legendary! Snow-suit up!

Movie Connections:

Spoofed in "Family Guy: No Chris Left Behind (#5.16)" (2007)

Sweet romantic comedy you must watch!

Excellent series to waste some time. Perfect for the romantic souls! The story is about five friends and their love adventures, mixed up with tons of funny stories. Ted is a lonely guy, who wants to make a family, but the girl he loves does not want a serious relationship and keeps cutting off his attempts to win her heart. Marshal and Lilly are Ted's best friends they are together for 9 years and are planning a wedding with all the consequences coming from that. Barny is the Casanova of the company. He's funny and arrogant in a very humouristic way. The director's method's are different and will keep your attention in these cute series.
