"How I Met Your Mother" 3x1

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER 3x1 "Wait For It"

What do you mean 'win the breakup' old-timey inventor?

I spent some time this summer and I watched the first 2 seasons back to back, and realized how great this show is. Most producers would have never attempted this sort of idea, because how long can you go before you reveal the title character?

I've always been pissed off at the people that INSISTED that it was Robin - they debunked that in episode one (remember the closing line? "And that's how I met your Aunt Robin") but all the conspiracy theories just show how invested people have become in this neverending story.

For me the moment of total commitment came with "Slap Bet" last season. I must have watched that Robin Sparkles video a dozen times that night... A show where that can happen is my kind of show.

They started off the season this year by reminding us that, yes, they will be getting to the mother at some point before they go off the air, but stop bugging us already and just enjoy the ride.
