I'm way out of the demographic for this one, but there's something irresistible about HIMYM's brazen absurdities, flights of fancy, and sharp timing (helped out by editing). I knew Alyson Hannigan would be appealing (is there anyone who watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer and didn't like Willow?), but the other main players, especially Neil Patrick Harris, shine.
Is this Friends for the current generation? I don't know because I never saw the iconic sitcom, having been turned off of it by the slavish adulation of so many of its fans. I'd like to think HIMYM doesn't inspire such cult-like devotion, but what do I know? And I get enough of a kick out of HIMYM that I don't care, either.
