[100 Things] My DVD Collection: How I Met Your Mother & The Big Bang Theory

[ultra_fic]

 

To the best of my knowledge, these two shows began airing around about the same time. I expected them both to be good; HIMYM because it had Alyson Hannigan and Jason Segel, both of whom I knew I liked and found funny from other shows, and TBBT because it was about geeks, of which I am one!

The Big Bang Theory continues to me one of my all time favourite shows. From the original premise of two genius scientist geeks living across the hall from a pretty waitress from Nebraska, we now have a whole cast of varied guys and gals, from the geeks and nerds, to the 'normal' and pretty, and everything in between.

On the reverse side, I gave up with How I Met Your Mother at Season 4. I love the comedy, I love the characters, but I just couldn't stand how stretched out the story became! Ted Moseby has now been telling his children the story of how he met their mother for 6 years?! Its becoming silly, in fact, it became silly a couple of seasons ago, and I just can't stand it anymore!

If and when we ever find out who these kids mother really is, somebody let me know. In the meantime, I'll be watching Penny wind-up Leonard and Sheldon over their geekiness, and laughing like a drain about it! ;)

Look at that, something I know! And I've on occasion watched both, who knew.

I think I gave up on HIMYM already way before you did, because seriously? How long can that be interesting? And waiting for years so it'll be someone we'll see for the first time in the last episode? I don't think so.

TBBT runs at times when hubby turns on the TV...and I end up getting distracted while doing something else on my laptop. It's a lot of fun, though I don't really follow it. I simply don't have time for that!

Yay! We found something you know about ;)

TBBT is awesomely fun! :D

But yeah, HIMYM got old quite quickly. I only stuck around as long as I did for Barney, 'cause he cracked me up! lol
