#30: How I Met Your Mother
Is it Robin, no it’s not Robin, but it’s about Robin? What an absolute saga of a story about how Ted Mosby met his children’s mother, but actually is about him being in love with his friend. An absolute rollercoaster that I still am not sure I feel ok about.
This story took so long that the kids’ reaction shots (a classic part of the show) had to be recorded all at once to ensure they wouldn’t age out of their parts! In the days before CGI, any actor could just age up or down by a few decades. More importantly, can you imagine keeping a secret like this for 9 years?
