Ted has fallen in love. It all started when his best friend, Marshall, drops the bombshell that he plans to propose to longtime girlfriend Lily, a kindergarten teacher. Suddenly, Ted realizes that he had better get a move on if he hopes to find true love. Helping him in the quest is Barney, a friend with endless -- often outrageous -- opinions, a penchant for suits and a foolproof way to meet women. When Ted meets Robin, he is sure it's love at first sight, but the affair fizzles into friendship. Voice-over by Bob Saget ("Full House") tells the story through flashbacks.

Noel Murray AV Club This whole show is about the fun you have with your friends in your 20s, and how it shapes the person you ultimately become. Rated: B+ Mar 27, 2018 Full Review Aly Semigran Entertainment Weekly Roof envy is certainly not uncommon in New York City, and it's the kind of thing that could bother you for years. Capturing that, HIMYM thrives in a way that NYC-based series like Friends never did. Nov 28, 2017 Full Review Donna Bowman AV Club That's it for this season - a terrific season of one of the best comedies of this young century, if I do say so myself. Rated: B+ Nov 28, 2017 Full Review Michelle Zoromski IGN Movies Regardless of who the mother is and how Ted meets her, the fun in this show is the journey (and the small clues along the way). Nov 28, 2017 Full Review Zach Oat Television Without Pity Tease or no tease, it's still one of the funniest shows on television. Sep 12, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

André Ferreira F Apesar de ter excelentes episódios, tem um ou outro não tão bons que fazem com que não tenha tanta qualidade como devia (apesar de ser uma boa temporada). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review Frederick T It was a great season, better jokes and a inspiring story line. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/10/24 Full Review Zack F how i met your mother is one of my favorite shows Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/23 Full Review black b Tras decirle que sí Stella a Ted por su propuesta de matrimonio por fin el espectador piensa que estamos viendo a la madre pero... ¿en verdad será así? Eso solo sucede en los primeros capítulos de la temporada, esto mismo nos hace ver que la serie en verdad es impredecible y también hace que queramos más de esta. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Tim B The characters are so easy to love! they all have their quirks and that's what makes it fun! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/22 Full Review Audience Member While I am here to rip on the ridiculously bad HIMYF spin-off, I want to come give a five star rating to the timeless, culture-influencing show that HIMYM is, specifically this 4th season. With shake-ups and character development like I had not seen before, the 4th season is a true highlight in my HIMYM viewing experience Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
