I watched it!!! Hey this was very good! So hysterical! So that lady that he met he didn't marry. He must have married her sister.. She is his kids aunt Robin.. Barney is so funny. Barney and Ted's friends are funny. That cab driver cracked me up. At the end he told his kids it's a long story.. Well I can't wait to hear it..

I liked it. It is worth giving a whole season. I like the twist at the end. Wonder how long they can keep that sort of thing up?

Barney: Suit up!

I like this guy a lot. I hope the references to his love for suits continues.

I agree. Neil Patrick Harris was very funny. I know a few guys like him here in New York City. This character has breakout potential.

Not a bad show all in all. Since it's set in my city, I will be paying close attention to how accurate they portray things.

Isn't EVERY sitcom set in your city?

Doogie was the best thing about the show (he'll always be Doogie to me).

Neil Patrick Harris is the only good thing about the show, but I don't know if it's still enough for me to watch the show. I'll probably stop watching it after tonight's episode. I don't know how long this show will last.

I felt the same way after watching the pilot, but there were a few bits that may keep me watching a while longer. For example:

- I, and a few other friends have tried to plan social events for the soul purpose of getting a girl we like to attend.

- I have gone out of my way to make it look like I was randomly in the same place a girl was in: I once took off from work just so I could pass by her place of business.

- My friends also refer to this kind of behavior as "stalking."
