What do you think of this show. i tried getting into it, but for some reason I cant seem. I dont sense any chemistry between the characters, which is a shame because I like Neil patrick harris, and Jason Segel. A lot of the jokes seem really forced. Maybe I just need to get into it more, but so far its not great. Too hit and miss. Maybe laugh tracks just piss me off more than usual recently.

I've seen a few episodes, seems decent. Alyson Hannigan seems to play the same quirky character in everything I've seen her in though.

Love it. I've seen every single episode. I disagree on every thing you said lol, I feel the chemistry between characters is fantastic, the jokes are hilarious, and it is one of the most consistent shows on television. The catch phrases get me every time.

Because of that show the word "Awesome" is like the word "Amazing" it's overused. Plus I find the show a bit tiresome now and then.

The premise is pretty unamazing (boy meets girl in sitcom), but the way the show is done is pretty inspired (non-linear, concealed plot told from the future). The characters are decent (especially to NPH and Jason Segel) and I honestly find myself laughing many times in an episode, its humour just appeals to me. It isn't the most groundbreaking or innovative show of the decade (I'd give that to something like Arrested Development, Peep Show or It's Always Sunny), but it's far better than the vast majority of TV sitcoms, or TV in general.

By my own principles, I despise the show. I don't need a show to tell me when something is funny by using laugh tracks. There are a few similar sitcoms out there right now that I enjoy that do have laugh tracks, like The Big Bang Theory from time to time, but I really feel removed whenever I hear prerecorded giggles :P. It's a cheap trick to make you think something is funnier than it really is.

Started out good, but quickly going downhill...just seems like they are running out of material. I hope that either this season or next will wrap it up. -it is just the same thing every week now -Neil makes the show though, without him it would be terrible This makes me sad :(, because it started out so well

Very funny show, but a redinkydonkyulus concept. Those kids are really going to just sit there and listen to their dad tell them a bunch of sleazy stories, not too mention how many stories he tells them, they going to be sitting there for years.
