    Storyline

    Edit
    Ted Mosby sits down with his kids, to tell them the story of how he met their mother. The story is told through memories of his friends Marshall, Lily, Robin, and Barney Stinson. All legendary 9 seasons lead up to the moment of Ted's final encounter with "the one." —colucciconnor

    Did you know

    Edit
    • 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.
