NUMBER 12! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE! How I Met Your Mother is LITERALLY the perfect show. Not only is it hilarious, but it also has touching moments, and just the right amount of romantic or general drama. This is my favorite show of all time, and there's a reason why.

How I Met your Mother is a sort of sitcom which gives a puzzle feeling throughout all 8 seasons. Ted has the bumpiest way through his life, looking for a wife. Many funny charactes are inclueded in this sitcom making it the best ever.
