Created by Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, the CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother," which ran for nine seasons from 2005 to 2014 (https://www.looper.com/236123/the-entire-how-i-met-your-mother-timeline-explained/), ostensibly focuses on Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor on-screen and the late Bob Saget in voice-over from the future) telling his children an abominably long story about how he met their mom. (The mom in question, by the by, is Tracy McConnell, played by future Emmy winner Cristin Milioti.) What "How I Met Your Mother" is about in a larger sense, though, is the adventures Ted goes on with his friends in New York City. Alongside his college best friend Marshall Eriksen (Jason Segel), Marshall's long-time love Lily Aldrin (Alyson Hannigan), notorious womanizer Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris) (https://www.looper.com/1146118/neil-patrick-harris-had-to-repeat-this-how-i-met-your-mother-line-nearly-80-times/), and Canadian newcomer and aspiring news anchor Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders), Ted tries and fails to find love in Manhattan ... but the bond between him and his friends is what makes the show truly great.
All told, there are 208 episodes of "How I Met Your Mother," and fans probably rewatch this series whenever they want to hang out with Ted and the gang again — but which episodes are the most rewatchable? In no particular order — and without any episodes from the truly dreadful ninth and final season, which unfortunately concludes with one of the worst series finales ever (https://www.looper.com/1946419/worst-series-finales/) — here are 12 of the most rewatchable episodes of "How I Met Your Mother."
