for the first couple seasons i think hes a sweetie and i really enjoy his character but somewhere around season 3-4ish (i think maybe around when he finaly got together with penny for the first time) he kind of takes a turn for the worst. he gets so whiney and annoying and even though he does have some REALLY funny scenes his entitled “woe is me” guilt-trippy attitude just annoys me too much to really love them. i think penny fell in love with who he was in season 1 aswell and bless her but i really dont think thats the guy she married.
BUT dont get me wrong, i love this show and i have a soft spot for all of the characters including leonard.

I love lots of sitcoms but there’s definitely something a bit different about How I Met Your Mother. I am not particularly sappy so I’m trying to explain this in a way that makes sense but it doesn’t matter how many times I watch the show it still elicits the SAME emotions every time. My absolute favourite is the end of season 8 when everyone is leaving for the wedding and Tracy appears at the train station. THE SONG AND THE REVEAL OH MY GOSH!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH! It GENUINELY gives me goosebumps every single time, the whole thing just feels so special. The cast and crew on this show did such a good job at making it real and emotional and authentic I just can’t. BIG UP to himym ty ty.

(Special mention to ‘the robin’ that also floors me every time, can we please talk about how elite the soundtrack is?)
