If it's like How I Met Your Mother theyll hint at it the entire series but only reveal him in the final season.

she apparently meets the dad by the end of the first episode, but we're not yet sure which one.

also, it turns out the two main guys in the group live in Ted and Marshall's old apartment


edit: they own the bar too

It is really boring so far and right off the bat you can tell the writing is just terrible. There are some funny bits here and there and Hilary Duff's charm is evident but it is going to be hard to justify continuing watching this. It just screams low quality.

yea.

I checked it out due to nostalgia, and I might catch future episodes if I can't sleep, or something, but overall, not a good offering, IMO.

I kinda like Ellen's character (Jesse's sister).

she's kinda got this goofy but charming quality.

No direct shots of it, but the second episode opens with a lulu-lemon-clad hillary and the other chick getting a sweaty barefoot aerobic workout on. So. That was pleasant. Her rack is great too, that is featured several times.

On everything else:

If I'm being honest, I didn't despise it. A few months ago, I had totally forgotten this was happening. Then, the trailer came out back in December, which sent my expectations into the toilet. The trailer made it look horrible. On that front, the trailer succeeded in lowering my expectations to a point where I was not overly disappointed in the first two episodes.

The dialogue was hit and miss. The characters spoke in the same awful acting dialect that the cast of HIMYM did. The situation with Ian was a positive in my eyes actually. Like HIMYM, this show is going to have a lot of uncertainty in Hillary's life, so opening with a big question mark like that actually got me "hooked."

The hardest part to stomach honestly is the millennial lingo. Maybe I'm jaded, but the constant reminders of Tinder, texting, DMing, those are absolutely grating. The first episode had a ton of it, the second one backed off somewhat. Phone stuff is going to be a prominent part of the series as Hillary learns to "live in the moment," so we may be stuck with the phone lingo for a while as she likely will be trying to fight it on a regular basis.

I'm going to give the show its fair chance because Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, the showrunners of HIMYM, earned it. HIMYM was a truly great sitcom, and even though they didn't stick the landing with HIMYM's ending, they've earned the goodwill. Remember, HIMYM season 1 was a little rocky. I'll encourage people to give it a fair chance unless it begins to totally suck. I wouldn't say to those still awake as of this post that they should go watch it RIGHT NOW, or even as each episode releases. But I will say that avid HIMYM fans should at least give the full season a shot when it's all said and done. I believe they know what they're doing (even though Carter and Craig are credited third and fourth behind two other directors/producers/writers, for what that's worth).

Eh gotta disagree with this personally, but more power to you if this is your feeling

The show will be lucky to last 1 season, there is no way this thing goes for 3 or more seasons especially with the majority of people still pissed about HIMYMs shitty ending.

Yeah, maybe I'm an old fogey (I'm only 35), but TV writers really need to accept that not everyone is glued to their phones 24/7 like a desperate teenage girl.

Right. I get the idea of living in New York and "always having somewhere else you could be," but that just sounds like regular life in New York. No need to incorporate phones as heavily as they do (although it makes sense in the context of her relationship with Ian, but not beyond that.

Tbh I really liked it. It's cute and light which is fine for a show. I laughed a few times in each of the episodes as well. Maybe I'm in the mood for some silly romance right now but I liked it.

I also don't hate the ending of himym so

its an interesting idea
i liked the apartment twist
2 things it did differently that i think are neat ideas are that 1 the main group arent already a super tight knit group
in mother robin was the newcomer but the core cast had been friends for years by that point
here the main cast are just getting to know each other and becoming friends so you get to see their friendships grow instead of having them already firmly established

and mother didnt reveal the mother until the final season where as father mentions one of the male characters we saw in episode 1 was the father with the mystery being which one

do you think it will be the obvious one? I love how they didn't show the kid to keep their race a mystery lol. I feel like it would have to be the obvious choice based on the first episode. I really hope they don't make it another gotcha ending.
