So I'm a huge fan of this show, I have the first 4 seasons and I can tell you straight off the bat that this show is great! First impression was that I was watching a different version of That 70's show, because it had the same style of sitcom, a mixture of romance and comedy, and definitely comedy!As for the show itself, I definitely recommend watching it. As for this specific season, if you do not have any others I suggest getting an earlier season, my personal favorite is season 2.My reasoning for this is that by season 4, there seems to not be a story anymore, the plot of How I Met Your Mother is based around the goal of the main character, Ted, trying to find the love of his life. By season 4, there's many random episodes, with no part of them having anything to do with Ted searching for love. The same thing goes for season 5.Other than that, have fun watching this show!
