    • 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.

    Neil Patrick Harris is great here!
    How I Met Your Mother will go down as one of the better comedies of all-time (and rightfully so) but there's no doubt as to who's the best part of the show and that's Neil Patrick Harris (Barney)! He is funny in just about every episode. The entire main cast is great which makes this show so funny so if for some reason you haven't seen this yet I highly recommend it!
