I love How I Met Your Mother. Sure, not all people will love it. But if there's one thing to take from watching it, it's that Barney Stinson (played by Neil Patrick Harris) is awesome.

It's Official: Lifetime Wins How I Met Your Mother
Great news or bad news?
Lifetime has syndication rights to How I Met Your Mother.
Awesomeness? I mean, it's definitely a great win for Lifetime, and it'll definitely help me remember why I love HIMYM (I seriously am not impressed with the current season).
Catch HIMYM on Lifetime, starting January 5th on weekday nights. They will be airing back-to-back episodes from 7PM - 8PM.
I wouldn't mind seeing old episodes about the slapbet:

Current Obsession: How I Met Your Mother
I LOVE The Office. I LOVE 30 Rock. I LOVE Scrubs. And just when it seemed like my heart had no more room for television love, I was introduced to How I Met Your Mother.
I had heard of HIMYM, mainly due to all that buzz about Britney Spears making a guest appearance on the show. Yawn. Sorry, but even that didn't get me to see the show. But then, when fellow Life in Boxes editor Jen told me that I was missing out BIG TIME, I thought, eh, my favorite shows aren't going to be on for another month, so might as well see what all this hooplah is about.
Let's just say that it'll will blow your mind hole.
(Wait, did i over-hype it for you now? Damnit, I always seem to do that).
Anyway, for all those who have been [also] living under a rock, How I Met Your Mother is a situation comedy about 5 late 20's/early 30's friends living in New York City. Hm, sounds a bit familiar, a la Friends, no? Yeah .. but not really. First off, it airs on CBS, which besides CSI and a bunch of reality shows, never really saw the time of day on my television set.
But yeah, the show is basically narrated by future Ted (voiced by everyone's favorite family man, Bob Saget - cough), who is telling his children the [loooooong] story about how he met their mother. A pretty interesting technique in television, and even in season 3, it hasn't got old for me yet.
The show is centered around Ted (upcoming architect), his college bff [married] couple Marshall (lawyer-to-be) and Lily (kindergarten teacher), Barney (who we have yet to find out what he does), and Robin (news reporter). We see their bouts in and out of love, and dealing with life..transitioning from post-college young adults to adult life, in terms of careers and love. And of course, there's a bunch of sillies to it, mainly thanks to Barney (played by Neil Patrick Harris).
You come to love the characters. And at some points, some of the characters may annoy you (currently, Lily is annoying the beejebus out of me, and I'm still not sure how I feel about Ted). But in some way or the other, you can sort of relate to the characters, who unlike the Friends characters, seem to be more believable and relate-able.
As for my favorite character? Hands-down, Marshall (played by Jason Segel) aka Marshmallow. I cannot wait to see how the slap bet ends.
