Maybe not but the TvTropes wild mass guessing page is huge. Full of people trying to figure out all sorts of stuff. A lot of the fun in the show seems to be figuring out they’ll get from late 2000’s stuff to the end game in 2030.

I loved Elvira and the Party Monsters. I didn’t even know about the others thanks for sending down a rabbit hole.

I don’t know, Friends did the same for pre-9/11 20somethings and I don’t mind watching rewatching the early seasons of that. And look how many memes there are from friends. I think there’s more to it then just the cringe factor of looking back.
My working theory is that puzzle box shows like HIMYM and Lost don’t hold up on rewatching because you get invested in the mystery (who’s the mother - what’s going on with this island) and now you know so the shows kind of lost.

Yeah Friends is just a better show I’m sure. It definitely had a deeper bench on screen. Lisa Kudro is probably the best ‘dumb blonde’ of the last 30 years and that kind of part isn’t easy. Cortney Cox and Matthew Perry were really good comic actors and David Schwimmer is good actor if not a good comic actor. And Jenn Aniston and Matt LeBlanc sure were good looking.
Put that up against any other cast in any other sitcom and I think you’d have to go back to I Love Lucy to find a better one.

How I Met Your Mother is such a strange combination Aughts tropes. I mean its Friends but everyone pretty quickly becomes not good people like Seinfeld. It’s a sitcom but it’s also a puzzle box mystery like Lost. The lead, Josh Radnor, is an obvious Timu version of Zac Braff.
And yet it was huge at the time. Ran for nine seasons, completely reignited Neil Patrick Harris’s career, second staged Jason Segel in to not just that guy from Freaks and Geeks, but a legit movie star. Broke open Cobie Smulders in to another movie star. And yet it’s almost completely forgotten about. Until you mentioned it I think it’s more then one or two times on Lemmy, you never see gifs or memes from it. It’s like it was completely forgotten for our shared cultural landscape almost as soon as it was over. I think the only thing it was remembered for was how bad they fucked up the ending and Game of Thrones has taken that from them even.

Man not only is she awesome, she also has a kick-ass pinball game.

Gwen ross?

ummm isn’t this from “The Most Unlovable Man in New York City” is in fact saying it’s hard for a guy out there?

You bots keep reposting this thought every few weeks.

Oah, oh, we’re half way there

That vase definitely deserved it. It was probably haunted.

Mama, needs a night off!

In three more year Ted is going to start telling his kids how he met their mother.

As my father used to say “Don’t do two crimes at the same time”

And party on dudes!

Thou are God.

Shouldn’t this be labeled NSFW what with the Strokenoff?

This a great start and I’d just throw in, if you’re the parent of a small picky eater or just want to get more veggies in your life. I like to grate in all sorts of other veggies like broccoli, zucchini, spinach, carrots, just go nuts, because tomatoes have such a strong flavour your blander veggies go right in and if you grate it fine enough just dissolve so kids done see or taste them but all the good stuff still gets in.

I really enjoyed DCC and it’s a pretty fun ride but honestly from what your saying I’d suggest you avoid it for a while. It’s fun but it’s also bloody and full of violence. It starts out with killing 99% of humanity and everybody in it is dealing with some heavy PTSD and it’s hopeful and people pull together but it’s still a tragedy.
