AHHAH YOU'RE WATCHING HIMYM. You = awesome. Seriously. I infinitely fail because for all that I adore this show, I don't have icons for it. ...which must be rectified immediately.
My comment will be a list because that's the only way I can reply without going nuts and driving you nuts.
#1: The laugh track bugged me a little, too, but apparently they don't record the episode live - they can't, you may realise, because sometimes there's laughter at Old!Ted's voice-over, and there are frequent flashbacks and things [which add to the brilliance of the show, because what other show has that, right?]. They actually record the entire episode, put it together, and then they screen it privately to an audience and that's the laugh track recorded. So. :D Something I love in general about this show is the way even the actors/characters themselves laugh at the jokes, which is so real, and genuine.
#2: The first few episodes? They bored me, I'll admit it. But I plunged on, and then I watched The Pineapple Incident, and I loved that, and I went nutty. :D This show is amazing. And have you watched the second season yet? Freaking amazing, I love what they do with it - it's constantly amazing, consistently funny, and the characters? Their backstories and character quirks, everything - the attention to detail and people in this show are what make it this great. It's not the funny so much as the people, which is awesome. :D
#3: YAY, YOU LOVE TED! Not many people do, it's kind of sad, but I love him. Maybe because he reminds me of me, a little. Also because he's cute. :P I love his relationships with Barney and Marshall, and Robin and Lily. Ack. I was whooping after the kiss in Come On, and then he sat with Marshall on the steps and I felt like crying, almost. And the music choice was magnifique.
#4: The love for Barney/Robin is overwhelming. They would be adorable together, yes, and I'm almost convinced they hook up sometime during the show. One of my other favourite couples would be Ted/Lily, which is as improbable as it is unsupported, but seriously. Ted/Marshall are amazing bros, as demonstrated with their swordfight, Barney on his own is always amazing, Marshall is a dork and he lawyers and I love him, and Robin is Robin Sparkles, which...is enough said. ;) I may just about ship lots of people on this show.
#5: Oh my God, let me rant a little more about the second season. Arrivederci, Fiero is freaking brilliant, probably one of my favourite episodes, Slap Bet is amazing [have you watched it yet?], and - just - the continuity! The awesome! The characters! I love it. It's genius, and I adore this show. Didn't think I would love it this much, but I do! Definitely on my to-love list, after The Office. :D
I am glad you love this show!! I can't wait for it to premiere next Monday.
