Trivia:
Alyson Hannigan, who plays Lily, is perhaps best known prior to starring in ‘How I Met Your Mother’ for her role on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997). The creators of both of these shows -- Joss Whedon of the Buffy series and Carter Bays and Craig Thomas of HIMYM -- all graduated from Wesleyan University, as well as did the characters Lily, Ted, and Marshall on HIMYM. more
Goofs:
Continuity: In "The Slutty Pumpkin," Robin tells Ted that she never played any team sports - only singles tennis. However, in "Best Prom Ever," she talks about missing her prom for field hockey nationals. more
Quotes:
Barney: It's going to be legendary!
Ted: Don't say that! You're too liberal with the word "legendary".
[flashback to Barney standing at Ted's door in snow gear with a shovel]
Barney: We're building an igloo in Central Park! It's going to be legendary! Snow-suit up!

Cute Little Show, 19 September 2005
Author: briannebytheseashore from United States

I don't have much in the way of a review other than to say that based on the pilot, I think this show has a lot of potential to be a really good show. The cast is funny and endearing and the premise is fun. It might not be the most original idea for the show (think Wonder Years) but it has it's own little twist that should make for some interesting episodes. Hopefully next weeks episode will be just as watchable and entertaining. If you haven't checked it out, I recommend that you do. Alyson Hannigan and Neil Patrick Harris are the perfect complements to the show. The rest of the cast is somewhat unfamiliar to me though I must admit. I recall seeing Jason Segel in Freaks and Geeks, but I haven't really seen him in anything as impressive since so hopefully he'll bring the same originality he showed as Nick to his new character, Marshall. Josh Radnor is the newcomer in the bunch and he is just perfect for the part. He's cute yet dorky, with a lovable charm that will certainly endear him to many female viewers. I see only good things on the horizon for this show and I hope it finds a permanent home at CBS.
