Online Watch How I Met Your Mother Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.How I Met Your Mother is a comedy about Ted (Josh Radnor) and how he fell in love. It all starts when Ted's best friend, Marshall (Jason Segel), drops the bombshell that he's going to propose to his long-time girlfriend, Lily (Alyson Hannigan), a kindergarten teacher. At that moment, Ted realizes that he had better get a move on if he too hopes to find true love. Helping him in his quest is Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), a friend with endless, sometimes outrageous opinions, a penchant for suits and a foolproof way to meet women. When Ted meets Robin (Cobie Smulders), he's sure it's love at first sight, but destiny may have something else in store. The series is narrated through flashbacks from the future, voiced by Bob Saget.
How I Met Your Mother follows up last week’s Marshall/Lily-centric episode with another half hour that focuses on the decisions of parenthood facing the Eriksens. “Who Wants To Be A Godparent” is an episode that best represents the show firing on all cylinders.
It takes great pains to address the widening gulf between Marshall (Jason Segel) and Lily (Alyson Hannigan) on one end, and the rest of the gang on the other.
We know how parenthood affects the characters on this show and is a recurring theme throughout their lives, from Ted’s (Josh Radnor) desire to have kids to Robin’s (Cobie Smulders) inability to have children of her own, while Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) has a long history of daddy issues that make fatherhood an introspective proposition.
So while it’s not that surprising that the gang would compete with such fervor to become the godparents of baby Marvin (the gang is just naturally competitive), it probably should case Ted, Barney, and Robin to consider the implications of parenthood a lot more poignantly than they do.
But while that should matter when placed in the context of these characters’ pasts, it ultimately isn’t a big deal when you consider how spot-on the episode is with its comedy.
Marshall and Lily’s days of closing down MacLaren’s are long done, and while they try to make appearances (the episode opens on their first night out in five months), the Eriksens are too worn-down by the business of parenthood. They’ve instated a rule that none of their friends can come to them with a problem unless it’s an 8 or higher.
This leads to an amusing sequence where Ted, Barney, and Robin each assess the nature of their own personal lives to determine if it’s fit for discussion.
Victoria (Ashley Williams) tells Ted that her father thinks that since he’s the cause of her wedding with Klaus falling through, that he should be the one to reimburse him all the money wasted on the ceremony. Robin, meanwhile, reflects on how Nick (Michael Trucco) isn’t nearly as bad boy cool as she thought he was.
I don't have much in the way of a review other than to say that based on the pilot, I think this show has a lot of potential to be a really good show. The cast is funny and endearing and the premise is fun. It might not be the most original idea for the show (think Wonder Years) but it has it's own little twist that should make for some interesting episodes.
Hopefully next weeks episode will be just as watchable and entertaining. If you haven't checked it out, I recommend that you do. Alyson Hannigan and Neil Patrick Harris are the perfect complements to the show. The rest of the cast is somewhat unfamiliar to me though I must admit.
