I got to know HIMYM through reruns as yet another unnecessary show of white 20 something's was made. I found it pretty boring at first, after multiple showings - Neil Patrick Harris and Allison Hannigan carried the show. But was pretty stale anyway.
Now on to the revival... yet another unnecessary reboot that doesn't even have those actors to carry it.
And even staler writing. It's a snoozefest. Don't recommend - love Hilary Duff though.
