Josh Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) It seems like once How I Met Your Mother ended it's only a show the fan base talks about. No one talks about it or have daily discussions about it's characters like The Office or Friends. People to this day debate on the famous "We were on a break" scene on Friends. And there's plenty to discuss or rant about with The Office. Was it the final season that killed it's replay ability?

prézli Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) It didn't have great characters. I only liked Barney and Ted. And the show tried to be Friends so badly, but was never that funny, so it's not impactful. Edited June 16, 2022 by prézli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) It was huge at the time but the finale killed it off. A GoT teas. Also it hasn’t aged well. Edited June 16, 2022 by Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorjesspazze9 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 It was actually a pretty big show for years. Friends and the office are obviously bigger in pop culture tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The7thStranger Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) I would say it's pretty iconic, but it also has a few things working against it perhaps: It's aged somewhat poorly. So much of it is Gen X/Millennial referential humor, and I can imagine a younger audience not quite making the connection to some of their jokes (the Robin Sparkles/Alanis Morissette gag, for example). Barney overexposure at the height of the show's popularity. They clearly made him the Bart or Cartman of the show, and I think his shtick got old and corny. It went on too long and got remarkably miserable. The latter seasons, as a whole, really, really have not held up in comparison the fun of the first four-ish. The ending was a disappointment for a lot of people. When your entire story is predicated on the ending, you better make sure that ending is damn good. But all that being said, the show still has some killer writing and should be held in higher esteem.

Roberto Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Friends is way above, compared with the other 2 tho. The Office is actually very local while Friends remains global and HIMYM got backlash because of the finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orange22 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 It’s okay. The ending really made it difficult to rewatch though. What’s the point of sitting through all the seasons when it ends like…that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted June 16, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2022 Because it's simply not as good. I'm rewatching it and Jesus the transphobia and homophobia makes Friends look progressive and I understand it's of its time but still they throw around a certain word way too much and way too comfortably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harwee Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 the premise is very limiting, like 13 Reasons Wh . even the producers probably originally didn't think it would last that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
