In my opinion, the show improved as it progressed, since the actors seemed to get more comfortable with their roles, and the jokes got slightly funnier. Josh Peck's character also gelled in well with the cast.
@@Xeroforte You know what our main character needs in the first season? An unnecessary and boring love interest that takes up the whole season! What a great way to get to know and spend time with our lead protagonist. It was a horrible decision and one that can only be explained by the fact that Josh Peck is friends with people on the show. This show was such wasted potential. God forbid we spend the season having our main cast spend time together. NAH let's just waste episodes on this relationship everyone knows won't last.
I loved Robin's cameo, it was amazing to see her as a more grounded version of herself, and I liked her giving advice to Sophie. Hilary Duff's charm really makes Sophie easy to root for.
I started hate watching the show, but since it progressed I actually started to care about the characters and dinámics, and I really liked it. It will never be the original but it’s not bad, it gives me comfort and I always watch it when I’m feeling down.
I didn't wanna like this show but ill be damned if it didn't charm me through each episode. I like every character and how they work together. Sometimes I wish it was more like HIMYM with experimental storytelling but I still like how different it is. And I think it will just blossom if it's given more seasons (and episodes per season!) to really find its footing. Also I loved the cameos of The Captain and Robin, just fun moments for people who want reminders of the original. I hope every season gets one small cameo from the original cast to help out Sophie
5:10-5:20 made me realize something about New Girl. I always appreciated how season 1 explores how the main characters are uncomfortable (in sitcom standards) around each other at first and bond before becoming closer. A great episode is the one where Jess helps Schmidt with his control issues and this creates a great bond between them for the rest of the series.
Literally what I was just thinking. I just finished re-watching new girl and decided to move on to HIMYF next. The exact scenario you mentioned is why I felt weird about the first few episodes in HIMYF.
I don't think their friendship looks that rushed... that's exactly what happened with my friends from college. We randomly started talking one day after class and then decided to have lunch that day, we got along so we started doing that for the rest of the semester... It doesn't always happen like that but it's not impossible to be friends with people so quickly
yes, but college is very different to how these characters are significantly older. if you're even going out of your way to have lunch with your classmates, of course you're likely to be friends. it's harder to have, make and maintain friends as adults
@@getoffofhere Agree. Adults don't just hang out with random people like you do at 18 when the first person you talk to at college becomes your friend The actual premise is not terrible. It's cliche but the idea of accidentally swapping phones is ... fine. But everything from there is SOO forced. The fact they just keep stacking on new plot devices to get everyone into the apartment ... If my best friend just got engaged there is a ZERO percent chance he and I are leaving HIS party -- stone cold sober -- to take a random girl to the airport to meet a guy. Like, what? No. Just have Sophie and Valentina like the bar and keep coming back and then *slowly* merge the two friend groups until one night they have their bonding moment where they go from bar buddies to friends. Have them drive Sophie to her bad date the first time instead of the Ian date and then the proposal/airport/bridge night weeks later. And make Jesse and Sid -- after them witnessing their new bar buddy Sophie crashing and burning on a dozen dates since they met her three weeks ago -- both hammered drunk and drunk on love with Sids proposal decide they *need* to take Sophie to the airport to catch Ian (before his red-eye) in the name of love. (That also means Ellen needs to drive which gives her a reason to be there.) You can still have all the same beats but in a way that feels more organic by injecting time and giving everyone reasons for doing what they are doing beyond 'the plot needs them to'
The joke with the British dude, Charlie, isn’t that he’s out of touch because he’s British. He’s out of touch because he’s been sheltered and pampered his whole life. That’s why in episode 3 he was incredibly naiive about strangers on the subway. That’s why he was so floored by the whole experience of a subway in episode 1. That’s why in episode 2 he needed help on making friends with the guys. I admire Charlie’s character and strength, because I personally know how hard it is to go from sheltered to the real world quickly and suddenly.
thought it was good for a todays sitcom, the progression of the first season is better then expected and i had fun, the characters all have their moments (even if there are not many for some of them) i think its really coming down to the next season to bring everything home (or screw it all up)
Season one was in my opinion set up to bring a nostalgic feeling to spark the interest of HIMYM fans. It gradually got better and season 2 is off to a better start. Nostalgia isn't always a good move at first
My only gripe so far is that almost every episode ends with a dramatic music video esc emotional scene. I’m into these characters enough to enjoy the episode but not invested enough for these big moments to have an impact. In HIMYM the music video endings were sprinkled through a few seasons and in between lighter episodes, they also happened more often later in the run once we got to know the characters. These big endings are the parts that stood put because there were so few of them but having them in every episode makes them less special. I hope they ease up on them next season and let the show be a little lighter and bring them back once we really get invested to these characters.
You're right about the part where the father shows up at the beginning but we don't which one. It's the same in an anime I like Quintessential Quintuplets where the main character recalls his memories of how he met his fiance in high school but revealed that he met her and her 4 other sisters which kept us guessing which one it is.
Ellen is my favorite character too and I totally agree with the friendships feeling forced. I was actually really confused on if they met on night one or not.
I’ve seen most of the first season and I still couldn’t tell you the names of any of the characters. I keep referring to the two mains as Hilary Duff and “Piz from Veronica Mars”. And I hated Piz in V. Mars.
I really tried with this show, really did. I feel like you're being really generous about it or maybe it's just that my personal taste has shifted from the same type of sitcoms in 2022. When I want that, I go and rewatch HIMYM and still enjoy it just as much (barring the end of course). Anyway, I cannot say I completely disliked this show, there certainly were a few heartfelt moments here and there. But the characters, the humor, and the acting is all so one-toned and forced. None of it feels real or organic. And the part that you said at the beginning that their friendship seemed forced, that's exactly what I thought too. Other than pure plot convenience, there is no other organic or even realistic reason for any of them to have been acting like they are best friends immediately from the second episode. So far, I'm still having a very very hard time liking any of them given how over the top and caricaturish the acting & humor is in this. HIMYM was released in 2005, it was okay for that time but towards the end, they did kind of tone it down a bit as compared to the beginning of the show. Hillary Duff is a charmer and a decent actor but she still doesn't feel that fleshed out. I hate Jesse & Ellen's characters the most and the British guy follows right after. I've been so mad about this show because despite being reluctant about the spin-off itself, I was really looking forward to watching this and I really expected to like it anyway. Sorry in advance if my opinion comes across as hate, believe me, I'll be watching the entire show for as long as it will run in hopes of liking it at some point. Robin's cameo, that too at MacLaren's was a genuine surprise and highlight of the entire show!
Dude how can you think that British people are this out of touch and not understand the joke. The joke is that he is from an extremely rich family and that he has been pampered his whole life. It's not that he is British obviously
I agree with most of your feelings about the characters, but I thought Charlie has the best funny one-liners. Ellen and Charlie's friendship dynamic is my favorite in the show. Unless I'm mistaken, Barney was not a womanizer by the end of HIMYM. I'm not sure what he would do in a cameo. Overall I think How I Met Your Father is a run of the mill sitcom using the same old rom-com tropes and is sprinkled with a bit of sentimentality. It's the kind of show l like right now though. There is something comforting about it.
In my opinion, if I wanted to see a show that's like how I met your mother but not exactly I'd just look at an early or late season episode, still don't understand who wanted this show
The worst element of the show is the disparity between Hilary Duff and Kim Catrell. They're supposed to be the same person years apart, but they do not seem anything alike. Honestly, KC was a bad choice. She seems like a horned up wino. And that doesn't come off as endearing.
Plot twist: the other female friend gets a sex change and they end up together. Then the show will divide viewers. "Its representation" vs "Its tasteless" 😂
For me, the worst part of the show is Ellen. I find the show nice but predictable yet unrealistic. But Ellen is just too much. I don't know if it's the acting or the writing or both, but it feels like she's always yelling. And her entire personality is being awkward and queer. But she's not awkward in a relatable way. She's awkward in a cartoony way. And it's like she's always yelling. Everything she says is with 100% intensity.
Buuuut, two halves of the show cast were friends before all them met up. Two dude roommates and two chick roomates became friends it's not _that_ unbelievable
As a premise you are correct. But look at what actually happened and the speed. They literally go from strangers to a whole friend group in like 4 hours and a week. That's weird. And the character reasons were paper thin. First the Uber ride is over-the-top. That's not how strangers talk to each other. Certainly not 20 somethings where half the people are wearing Air Pods in the Uber. But these three are having a whole ass conversation about their entire lives Swapping the phones is plot device #1. Fine. Cliche but fine. Then Charlie just happens to appear the same day (2). Then Ellen coincidentally just got to town (3). Then Sophie knows where Sid is because of the exposition dump ... err Uber ride (4). Then Valentina and Charlie come with her (5). Then they get there just at exactly the right time minutes before Sid arrives (6). Then Sophie has to charge her phone so they don't leave right away and our characters get to interact (7). Which gives Sid's fiancee time to get an emergency page and need to leave (8) (side note: she's a surgery resident. Do they page residents to come in if they aren't on call? Let alone when they are clearly on vacation/PTO. 8b). Sophie gets a text from Ian *just* at that time that happens to have his flight info (9) Hannah needs to go to the airport to perform surgery (IN LA!?!?! See 8b) at the same time (10) Then Jesse volunteers to drive (11) because Ian/Hannah are both flying out of the same airport (ya know cause NYC famously only has one airport) (12) And Sid leaves his OWN party!! Because apparently the only people he knew at his ENGAGEMENT PARTY were Jesse and Hannah (13) And Ellen comes along because...reasons (14). Somehow SEVEN grown adults fit in Jesse's mid-sized sedan (15). Ian is still not through security and actually at the back of the line somehow by the time they get from Manhattan to the airport (16). Then they all go to the Brooklyn Bridge (17) (side note: sober single women generally avoid going to dark sparsely populated bridges (as depicted on the show) with three men they barely know at night. Just saying). Finally they go back to the guys apartment for drinks INSTEAD OF THE BAR SID OWNS WHERE HIS ENGAGEMENT PARTY IS STILL HAPPENING! (18) which is -- look I've certainly done that drunk many times but I can't ever recall going over a stranger's house, sober, to drink with them (19). That's weird. (And again these are two women going to the apartment of two guys they don't know; even with Charlie there it's sketch.) And then the only male friends these two girls have for Charlie to hang out with are the guys they randomly hung out with the week before? (20) It's all too much. There was definitely a way to organically blend these two friend groups together. You are 100% correct. But THIS wasn't it
I can't understand this, to at least hook people with nostalgia. They could've opened with Sophie and her two friends' roommate couple, obviously just reverse the roles and spend time in the writer's room developing them so they're deeper and funnier than they first appear. Anyway, they're talking it's a black screen "Why did we have to move at night". The light is switched on and we're back in the old apartment. Sophie says "My dad knows the building landlord we're getting a good deal". Anyway right there you have a hook and opening to Maclarens, much later we tweak the timeline so we're never really sure what the time period is. In season 4 or Sophie has what could've been a serious relationship break up because her boyfriend like Victoria in HIMYM had to leave for a job in Europe. She's upset because she thought he really could've been the one. She goes to talk to her dad, but we don't see him on camera and then we see its Barney. I know his daughter has a different name but just roll with it, that can be written in change. Anyway Barney tells her she needs to talk to her uncle Ted, boom you've got a whole plan on how to get at least 4 seasons deep. Instead of having a guy who sleeps around like Bareny show a woman, like Roz frasiser she's uncompromisingly herself and proud of sexuality. She could even be gay, but just show them as hound dog but with a good heart underneath. Hav Sophie's best friend be the Lilly to her own Marshal. Then introduce the new guy to New York from wherever and how Sophie is instantly attracted to him. You've got the premise of HIMYM but room to grow and move around
If you're gonna reupload old content, 1, watch your content first so I don't hear the same thing 8 times in a 35 minute video 2, while you're editing them together, maybe cut out the outro from the first and intro to the second
It's 2022. Are you still wearing masks? I honestly can't remember the last time I saw someone in a mask in my area. It's funny how different parts of the country behave.
I have mixed feelings about this show. Some of the characters are okay, but others were just downright bland. Duffy I feel is hit and miss (also hate how they decided to show the future version instead of keep her hidden like they did in the previous series). I do like Duff's roommate and her roommates boyfriend as those two played an awesome dynamic. Not a fan of Duff's love interests. The bar owner was okay, but felt really unrealistic. Probably the biggest offense was the gay character who I'm not pissed she's gay, I'm pissed they made that her whole personality. Like the fact every episode was her talking about "finding gay love" just feels like it wasn't actually utilizing her character and instead was a "we need to have her in to have a gay character."
First watch was trash female version of himym but after the second watch I love the characters and relationship and robin in the end is a good reward for. Fan
This show was doomed to fail and did fail because everyone was too caught up in relating it to the original. All we had to do was not play dumb. Everything they were trying to do was obvious and made sense but the audience felt the need to question every motive the show had. Even complaining about them becoming friends so fast is a little annoying because all you have to do is accept the fact that its a lighthearted sitcom. The cast of community are all best friends by the second episode and they openly acknowledge that they don't know anything about each other. My point being we're so use to being treated dumb by writers that we expect every little piece of context instead of using context clues like humans are able to. People ruined this show for themselves and in turn ruined it for everyone else
Genuine question... couldn't we say the similar things with HIMYM? Ted, Marshall, and Lily knew each other from college, Barney wandered into the group at some earlier point, while Robin did so in the pilot. Plus, it would be some time before I learned _their_ names as well. I just chalked that up to "being a sitcom". On a related note, some people would be genuinely repulsed by Barney's womanizing (although TBF, all of the rest of them had their own loose screws)
Don't copy another Barney character. People don't realize how problematic his character was. Serial rapists, manipulated women to lowerd their vulnerabilities to get them to bed, had sex with a woman who could not give consent.
I think the title hinders it more then anything else. I feel like if they called it something else and took away Kim catrall it would be seen as a successor to HIMYM and Friends.
You say how they met us unrealistic yet that’s how I met a lot of my friends when I was a kid that are still my friends to this day I’d just walk upto them and be like hey wanna be friends
I really tried to like this show but I couldn't stick with it. The jokes were treating the audience like they were stupid and most were ruined by having the explain the punchline
It was the worst thing I’ve seen this year behind Kenobi, both shows managed to get me not to feel anything, that’s bad, whenever I watch something I usually feel things whether I’m annoyed, sad, mad, happy or just contented….not this show, I’ve felt this kind of way towards 3 other things I’ve seen in recent years and I hate that feeling HIMYM never needed a spin-off and cameos aren’t gonna save this, the show is unnecessary and unfunny like a lot of comedy these days as sitcoms, the characters are too 1 dimensional and the storytelling is too similar and Hilary is better than this cuz I’ve seen it The show is trash
This show was trash. How do people have opinions and words for this nonsense? How is this 30 minutes? It was all garbage lol. This is like something that goes straight to dvd
In my opinion, the show improved as it progressed, since the actors seemed to get more comfortable with their roles, and the jokes got slightly funnier. Josh Peck's character also gelled in well with the cast.
Be more wrong about Josh Peck

By the finale i was a fan of the show, was very pessimistic at the beginning but it really did get better i thought
The fact that the best part and most organic part of the series was Robins part, speaks volumes

Just saying). Finally they go back to the guys apartment for drinks INSTEAD OF THE BAR SID OWNS WHERE HIS ENGAGEMENT PARTY IS STILL HAPPENING! (18) which is -- look I've certainly done that drunk many times but I can't ever recall going over a stranger's house, sober, to drink with them (19). That's weird. (And again these are two women going to the apartment of two guys they don't know; even with Charlie there it's sketch.) And then the only male friends these two girls have for Charlie to hang out with are the guys they randomly hung out with the week before? (20)
It's all too much. There was definitely a way to organically blend these two friend groups together. You are 100% correct. But THIS wasn't it
I feel HIMYF just really lacks the heart and soul of HIMYM
I can't understand this, to at least hook people with nostalgia. They could've opened with Sophie and her two friends' roommate couple, obviously just reverse the roles and spend time in the writer's room developing them so they're deeper and funnier than they first appear. Anyway, they're talking it's a black screen "Why did we have to move at night". The light is switched on and we're back in the old apartment. Sophie says "My dad knows the building landlord we're getting a good deal". Anyway right there you have a hook and opening to Maclarens, much later we tweak the timeline so we're never really sure what the time period is. In season 4 or Sophie has what could've been a serious relationship break up because her boyfriend like Victoria in HIMYM had to leave for a job in Europe. She's upset because she thought he really could've been the one. She goes to talk to her dad, but we don't see him on camera and then we see its Barney. I know his daughter has a different name but just roll with it, that can be written in change. Anyway Barney tells her she needs to talk to her uncle Ted, boom you've got a whole plan on how to get at least 4 seasons deep. Instead of having a guy who sleeps around like Bareny show a woman, like Roz frasiser she's uncompromisingly herself and proud of sexuality. She could even be gay, but just show them as hound dog but with a good heart underneath. Hav Sophie's best friend be the Lilly to her own Marshal. Then introduce the new guy to New York from wherever and how Sophie is instantly attracted to him. You've got the premise of HIMYM but room to grow and move around
If you're gonna reupload old content,
1, watch your content first so I don't hear the same thing 8 times in a 35 minute video
2, while you're editing them together, maybe cut out the outro from the first and intro to the second
It’s a compilation of all the videos I made for the first season
Great Chad reference
Jesse is absolutely trying to be a Chandler
I liked the british dude the most.
I thought you already did this episode, did you repost?
It’s a collection of all his himyf reviews
It's 2022.
Are you still wearing masks?
I honestly can't remember the last time I saw someone in a mask in my area.
It's funny how different parts of the country behave.
sicko
I didn't wear one the whole 2 years!
But I still see weirdos in there cars by themselves with there face diapers on .
Yoo can you cover the one season of the DC show “Powerless”. Fantastic cast but flopped somehow. Please and thank you.
I have mixed feelings about this show. Some of the characters are okay, but others were just downright bland. Duffy I feel is hit and miss (also hate how they decided to show the future version instead of keep her hidden like they did in the previous series). I do like Duff's roommate and her roommates boyfriend as those two played an awesome dynamic. Not a fan of Duff's love interests. The bar owner was okay, but felt really unrealistic. Probably the biggest offense was the gay character who I'm not pissed she's gay, I'm pissed they made that her whole personality. Like the fact every episode was her talking about "finding gay love" just feels like it wasn't actually utilizing her character and instead was a "we need to have her in to have a gay character."
I didn't know that show existed
First watch was trash female version of himym but after the second watch I love the characters and relationship and robin in the end is a good reward for. Fan
This show was doomed to fail and did fail because everyone was too caught up in relating it to the original. All we had to do was not play dumb. Everything they were trying to do was obvious and made sense but the audience felt the need to question every motive the show had. Even complaining about them becoming friends so fast is a little annoying because all you have to do is accept the fact that its a lighthearted sitcom. The cast of community are all best friends by the second episode and they openly acknowledge that they don't know anything about each other. My point being we're so use to being treated dumb by writers that we expect every little piece of context instead of using context clues like humans are able to. People ruined this show for themselves and in turn ruined it for everyone else
Friendships can start in the weirdest ways and places and I say that as someone who has made friends, real ones in mental hospitals
Are you saying Sophie could be on the Dibbler/Dahmer Scale? Ehh.... Ehh.... 😉😉
Also, it's fiction and is allowed to ignore real life events.
Genuine question... couldn't we say the similar things with HIMYM? Ted, Marshall, and Lily knew each other from college, Barney wandered into the group at some earlier point, while Robin did so in the pilot. Plus, it would be some time before I learned _their_ names as well. I just chalked that up to "being a sitcom". On a related note, some people would be genuinely repulsed by Barney's womanizing (although TBF, all of the rest of them had their own loose screws)
I wanted to like it, but it didn't make me laugh once.
Same
Tien, like dragon ball.
Don't copy another Barney character. People don't realize how problematic his character was. Serial rapists, manipulated women to lowerd their vulnerabilities to get them to bed, had sex with a woman who could not give consent.
In 2022 we don't wear masks any more
It’s too Disney feeling
Makes sense since it's on Disney+
@@Colaman112 it’s not it’s on Hulu which is owned by Disney
@@EvilClowns69 In Europe it is on Disney+. Source: I just watched it on Disney+.
I think the title hinders it more then anything else. I feel like if they called it something else and took away Kim catrall it would be seen as a successor to HIMYM and Friends.
This show won't last 3 seasons !
You say how they met us unrealistic yet that’s how I met a lot of my friends when I was a kid that are still my friends to this day
I’d just walk upto them and be like hey wanna be friends
Wow, I'm a sexy bird
its not in the same universe the technology in the time skips are way too different
10 bux says the girl becomes trans and is announced to be the father
in my opinion, i found ellen insufferable
No more wrestling videos?
The jokes were just terrible and it was no we’re close to the original
I really tried to like this show but I couldn't stick with it. The jokes were treating the audience like they were stupid and most were ruined by having the explain the punchline
Wait what
Hilary duff is in this show. This show how uninterested I am in this show.
There are way too many characters. I can't keep up either
First
Second lol
The characters are pretty flat, and thats the death of an ensemble show
It was the worst thing I’ve seen this year behind Kenobi, both shows managed to get me not to feel anything, that’s bad, whenever I watch something I usually feel things whether I’m annoyed, sad, mad, happy or just contented….not this show, I’ve felt this kind of way towards 3 other things I’ve seen in recent years and I hate that feeling
HIMYM never needed a spin-off and cameos aren’t gonna save this, the show is unnecessary and unfunny like a lot of comedy these days as sitcoms, the characters are too 1 dimensional and the storytelling is too similar and Hilary is better than this cuz I’ve seen it
The show is trash
Pls stfu u corny ass cared enough to comment at all let alone a big ass paragragh if its bad why watch it bet u still watched it all cry baby😂
Hulu ain't never made nothing good, so this show is straight dookie.
You actually watched this garbage
This show was trash. How do people have opinions and words for this nonsense? How is this 30 minutes? It was all garbage lol. This is like something that goes straight to dvd
Hate the laugh track.
kinda just looks like a woke diversified version of himym
That's exactly what it is !
Even a show like HIMYM is far to edgy for modern day woke cult world.
i refuse to watch this thi g
It sucked
