Recently over the holidays, I started
watching the popular T.V. sitcom, How I Met Your Mother. The show is
about the main character, Ted Mosby recounting to his kids in the year 2030 of
the events and stories that led up to how he met their mother. He gives a long and extensive account. The show is currently in its seventh season
and has won several Grammys. Over the
next 15 weeks, I plan to bring to you memorable clips from funny episodes and important
life lessons that people can come away with from the show. This show gives important lessons on
relationships and interactions amongst friends.
This week I would like to talk about the beginning of season four. Unfortunately, I do not have a clip for this
week, but I have a video of the opening title card for you to see. In the first episode of the
season, Ted opens the scene talking his kids about how the longest pause that
they will ever experience in their lives is after they ask someone to marry
them. The episode goes into depth and
gives the lesson that we do not pick and choose who we fall in love with. Sometimes
it just happens on its own and it is out of our control. Ted and his friends are worried about him
marrying someone he met a few months ago because his friends feel that he
barely knows the girl, Stella. Meanwhile,
Barney falls in love with Robin after one night with her and Lily tries to help
Barney decide on choosing his love for Robin over his love for sleeping with a
different girl every night.
