Barney & Robin: Not a good couple - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I don't think Barney & Robin made a good couple for the sole reason that they are too much alike.

I think they are great as friends: I think the scene that best sums them up is when they're hanging out at Barney's club puffing cigars.

But they never worked for me as a romantic couple.

Agree?

Disagree?

Dang, I thought the title said Batman and Robin.

Sorry, never saw this show. Don’t get up, I’ll show myself out. But if you ever want to talk about Batman and Robin being a couple, give me a call.

It's a tough show to talk about because the characters aren't fixed very well. About the best thing you could say about Barney-Robin is that they each could only handle about half a relationship. Robin wants to travel everywhere and Barney wants his life to be about half mystery.
