you bastards. you made me download it the entire 1st season and watch it in two days. it's not the greatest show, not quite laugh out loud funny like friends or seinfeld, but it is actually pretty good considering what else is on TV right now. i guess it's a bit more realistic in the portrayal of loves and loves lost as a few of the episodes seem vaguely familiar.

barney is the awesome (though i wish he had a better name than "barney.")
i like the connection ted had with victoria... seemed much more real than the one he supposedly has for robin. hmm... oh well.
