[2017 update reminder: MF is now also out of everyone. He accidentally flipped out Friends and looked at it, but he still liked it. ]
"How I Met Your Mother" is my favorite situation comedy after "Friends".
It is true that some British dramas also have very funny plots, such as "The IT Crowd", "Coupling", and "Blak Books", but their laughter is often a bit weird. The rhythm of the 6 episodes is not too adaptable and lacks a sense of overallity. .
"The Office" watched a few episodes of the English version and the US version (I personally think that the English version is more flavorful, but the US version is more popular). I don't think it suits my appetite, so I give up temporarily (I will consider it later).
Recently I started watching "Two And A Half Men", and also watched a few episodes of "Will & Grace" by the way, all of which are "acceptable".
There are also two favorites that are "30 Rock" and "The Big Bang Theory", but the former has a lighter style (not to say that it is not good), and the latter is sometimes too deliberate for the strange performance of the characters.
What I like about "HIMYM" is that it has a more everyday background, more characters (one less than "Friends"...), has a certain main line, and the intensity and weirdness of the laughs are just right, which suits my appetite. These are very similar to "Friends".
But what is commendable is that "HIMYM" has some innovations and breakthroughs in form, so it is no less than "Friends".
But all in all, "HIMYM" is by far my favorite sitcom after "Friends".
