The most recent season of How I Met Your Mother is a struggle to follow.

I don't watch it because it's rib-splittingly funny, I watch it because I think the characters are adorable geeks and I want to shrink them all down to 3-inches and keep them around in my pockets.

EDIT: I don't even care. Reverse self-justification.

I like the new season. One of the things I really liked about that show in its early days is that, structurally at least, I thought it was really well written. Constantly ****ing with timelines, darting in and out of multiple storylines and going off on tangents. Slowly building a story and gradually building to a finale with very minor details dropped in here and there throughout its run.

Thats what I like about the new season. It's as if it finally got back on track after outstaying its welcome with a few mundane years. It was like the first four seasons seemed to be precise and focused, and then the creators and/or the network recognised it's potential as a cash cow and so dragged it out needlessly with another three to four seasons, and now they are focused again on the story as it was intended nine years ago.

The point is. He tells his children this bloody story for 9 years?
Or is it 9 seasons of aprox. 22 episodes of aprox. 22 minutes,
which gets me to the conclusion that they sit there for 4356 hours,
and I don't know if he ever stops talking - it might actually be one big session of him talking (maybe THAT'S why his voice changes, when he gets older, he talks too much. did he ever tell anyone else that story? you should never ask this guy on a dinner table how he met his wife).
4356 hours are 181 days, without sleep, so his kids miss about half a year of school, because their dad is telling a short story. If you compute, that they don't miss out on school, and sleep about 8 hours a day. school lasts from 8am - 1 pm (at least in germany) + aprox. 1 hour, for the way to and from school. which means we have 14 hours that get deleted of every day. plus they have to eat..3 times a day. which takes..let's say 2 hours, for every day, which gives him 8 hours a day to tell them his story, which makes it 544 days of telling his story. that's 1,5 years, dude...of telling a story...with NOTHING else. No spending time with friends, no playing computer or console games, no exploring your sexuality through watching hours of porn on the internet, ... I mean I like that show, but those kids get kinda traumatized.

I started watching brooklyn 99 on Fox and it is really funny. I didn't think I would like it (i watched it on accident) but its starting to become one of my favorite shows. Anyone else watch it?

Yeah, I keep up with it. I feel like not many people watch it but it's a critics darling and won some awards so it will have another season or two before they cancel it.
