    • Trivia
      All of Lyndsy Fonseca and David Henrie's scenes as Ted (Josh Radnor)'s future children were filmed during the first season to keep them the same age throughout the series. This includes a scene for the show's eventual final episode filmed early in the second season.
    • Goofs
      Marshall, Lily, and Ted went to Wesleyan, where Ted studied to be an architect, but Wesleyan does not have an architecture program.

    Legen... wait for it... dary!
    One of the more original and funny sitcoms I've been watching. After all, if it was bad it would not last for almost a decade. I've heard they spoiled it near the end, but after five seasons I have absolutely no objections.
