HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER - SEASON 2 - FX-ORG-DVD

The woman of his dreams is out there--the question is who is she? Told in a series of flashbacks How I Met Your Mother is the hilariously unpredictable story of how twenty-something Ted meets his soul mate and says goodbye to the singles world of pick-up lines one night stands and relationship "deal breakers" With friends Marshall and Lily&s wedding fast approaching the outrageously inappropriate Barney remains a consummate bachelor while Ted&s romance with Robin heats up but is she really the one for him? Things have a funny way of working out in this delightfully fresh and fast-paced comedy Episode List Disc 1 Where Were We?

another cult show Freaks and Geeks) Careening through these two love stories is Barney (Neil Patrick Harris the former Doogie Howser MD) an aggressively single womaniser whose intimate friendship with this largely sincere and domestic bunch doesn&t make much sensebut often makes for excellent comedy This goofy quintet of late 20somethings flounder their way through life in New York wrestling with love and careers When the first season ended Ted and Robin had finally hooked up but Marshall and Lily had suddenly split up Season two runs with this enriching the relationships among all the characters over the season&s progress while spinning out all sorts of stand-alone plots that make each episode a treat Examples Ted discovers that his parents have been keeping a secret from him; Marshall
feeling burnt by love starts doing couple things with a newly single male friend; Lily gets a job at Ted&s office and is appalled by Ted&s obnoxious boss; Robin tries to keep Ted from discovering her sordid past; and Barneywell Barney is the gleeful source of a dozen cockeyed tales ranging from asking Lily to paint a nude portrait of him to grappling poorly with his gay brother&s sudden turn to monogamy to going on The Price is Right to find his father The entire cast is superb (and much more confident this season) but Harris&s inexplicably endearing smarminess really pushes the show into a higher comic bracket That performance energy--combined with the cunning use of flashbacks and other twisty story techniques--makes How I Met Your Mother both sweet and spicy a conventional sitcom that
tweaks the formula enough to make it feel fresh and engaging If the creators can keep this up this show will become a classic
