How I Met Your Mother: The Complete Series

If you used to enjoy the classic sitcoms before reality TV came along – shows like Cheers, Friends, and Seinfeld, then you will probably like How I Met Your Mother. The comedy is very witty, and that’s reason enough to watch the show. It’s also wonderful as an ongoing drama. You live through 9 years of each character’s life and watch them experience ups and downs, go through relationships, deal with career challenges, and strengthen their friendships. As you see the characters change over time, you get to know them and really care for them. The premise of the show is that the main character (Ted Mosby) is telling his children the story of how he met their mother. He is telling the story in the year 2030 and as he tells it, we flash back to see the events as they unfolded. The story is told from his point of view, so things are often exaggerated or filtered. There are a lot of scene changes as characters tell stories within stories, which make the show really fun. There are several romantic relationships that occur over the course of 9 seasons, and you do tend to root for certain people. There’s also an element of mystery as we try to guess who ultimately ends up being the mother. Very often, while much of an episode is silly, there’s a point to it. It makes you think about life and what’s important. It really triggers a variety of emotions. The show has 9 seasons, and each season has 20 – 24 episodes on 3 DVD discs. The first season uses the old 4:3 aspect ratio so it doesn’t take up the entire screen on a modern TV. The other 8 seasons use the widescreen format (1.78:1). Many of the discs have special features, and there is an additional “bonus” disc with more features. The packaging is compact and the discs get stacked on top of each other. I watched every episode and I didn’t encounter any problems with reading the discs. The show is funny, dramatic, romantic, and inspirational. I highly recommend it. *** MAJOR SPOILER ALERT! STOP READING NOW IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED THE ENTIRE SHOW. *** There were a lot of people who didn’t like the ending, but I absolutely loved the ending. Why did Ted need to tell so many stories to his kids about how he met their mother when so few of them had anything to do with her? But so many of the stories involved Robin and their near misses. It was so clear for so long that Ted and Robin should be together and it was always very sad when it didn’t work out. Life can be rough and it was very sad when Tracy died. But Ted was telling this whole long story not for the benefit of the kids, but because he wanted them to understand what he felt, and he wanted them to be ok with him pursuing Robin. He’s too nice of a guy go after Robin without approval from his children. Seeing Ted and Robin getting together at the end was the best part of the show.

"The How I Met Your Mother" Step: 1. Its 2021 and you're stuck working from home and you start watching a random show that you have never seen before and have only have heard about it. 2. Discover that not only NPH is in it, but so is Agent Hill from the marvel movies. 4. Laugh so hard that it becomes your go to show to watch over and over again and you start making fun of Canada and drink coffee from Tim Hortons (which is quite excellent btw). 3. After it's pulled from Amazon prime member free video lineup, you watch short clips on YouTube until you break down and buy it from Amazon for a good price. 4. Watch it over and over again. And it is on..... One of my favorite ensemble shows. Unlike that other one from the 90s that had a bunch of vFriends', HIMYM has e everything that a show needs. The stories are no only episode specify, but the continuity from the flash backs and flash forwards makes this show allot more enjoyable. So suit up!

Good series

Cheesy to say but yes. We WANTED to have a physical copy of one of our favorite shows. We hit our 15 year wedding anniversary this year and it was so heckin cute to be able to gift it to my hubby. Such a well written show that truly holds up to time - its a bummer it ended the way it did and i think thatd be a shared sentiment from some of the cast. No matter though, the show will be cherished for years to come.

Just wanted to post another review to confirm that the problems with the box set packaging (namely, the glue) seem to have been fixed! No glue on any of the discs in mine and they were all playable. Also, I'm super excited to check out the bonus disc, which I've heard good things about, and of course the show itself is (in general) very good. But with all that being said, I did take off one star because when the set arrived, one of the discs had a scratch from what looked like somebody slicing open a box copies of the season had been stored in before putting all the seasons together in the box set, and scratching through the cover of the season to scratch the disc itself a bit. I was able to buff the scratch out (with a microfiber cloth and stuff) enough that the disc played without any issues, but it ideally would've been nice if I didn't have to do that in the first place. Also even though the glue issue has been fixed, the individual seasons are still in those wallet type cases which I've never been a fan of in any box set, and the wallet cases still come in a tightly packed "bro code" box, so it can be a bit hard/slightly inconvenient to get the seasons in and out of the box. These two things were a bit annoying, but were not deal breakers for me, since overall every disc in the set is playable, the set comes with some good bonus features, and I was able to get it for a steal when Amazon had it on sale for a price that calculated out to about $7.00 per season, which was awesome. Don't let the past negative reviews scare you! The main problem seems to have been fixed and I'm really glad that I took the risk and bought the set (for reference regarding roughly when the problem was fixed, I bought the set on 11/22/14).

The only problem I had was after opening the case it didn't want to close again but it's fixed now

While not necessarily a wholesome family program, I really enjoyed the cleverness of the writers. The way they tied everything together was genius. Very entertaining. I made it thru the entire series with no real issues with the DVDs. Had a blip with one of the DVDs for a minute, but not sure if it was the DVD or my player. Have not looked at the bonus features yet.

What a great series and I finally have it in my collection.

Ho acquistato questo cofanetto nonostante al momento il tipo dell'articolo riportava la dicitura (edizione regno unito) poiché le foto e le recensioni di alcuni degli altri clienti dicevano che l'articolo era in italiano, non capisco. Quindi come ho aperto il pacchetto amazon senza togliere il cellophane trasparente del cofanetto ho letto che era SOLO in lingua inglese, ho dovuto rendere. Peccato! Sto aspettando sia di nuovo disponile in italiano! Ad ogni modo per quanto ho potuto vedere il cofanetto sembrava carino.

good value

Conocía esta serie desde hace años, pero nunca la había visto... pero un día decidí bajar de internet unos cuantos capítulos, pero no los terminé de ver, xq se veían mal y aparte no estaban todos disponibles; pero en fin esa no es la cuestión... Lo importante es que la serie está genial, muy divertida, al estilo de la serie Friends. 20 minutos por episodio y muy fácil de ver. Muy divertida. La compré por poco más de 63€ y fue de las mejores compras que he hecho. Con respecto a los comentarios de los otros clientes, he decir que mi pack está perfecto por el momento. Voy por la 7ª temporada y todo bien. Serigrafia perfecta, audio en castellano... todo correcto. Animo a que más gente se la compre xq os va a encantar

O box é incrível para quem gosta da série e quer ter acesso à diversos extras e bônus de cada temporada, além de um CD apenas de extras da série. Todos os discos possuem extras, cenas deletadas e várias outras coisas. Para quem quer conhecer a série do início, não sei se vale o investimento, talvez seja melhor assistir pelo Prime Video e adquirir o box caso tenha curiosidade pelos extras. PORÉM, vale lembrar que o box NÃO É BRASILEIRO. O box é americano, portanto não possui áudio nem legendas em português, além de algumas temporadas não rodarem em aparelhos de DVD brasileiros, por ser de regiões diferentes. Caso seu aparelho seja comprado nos EUA ou possua a opção de alterar região, as temporadas funcionarão normalmente.
