Flying through HIMYM!

It was eight short months ago that I decided to give How I Met Your Mother a try, as I received the first season on DVD as a Christmas present. August is now upon us, I've mowed through all four seasons thus far, and I'm left waiting another month - are you serious?! - for the fifth season to make its way to DVD! How can this be?!

The show is not the most riotously funny show I've seen - that honor goes to Arrested Development - and it's not in the same league as Cheers or Seinfeld - but it certainly stacks up favorably next to almost all sitcoms from the past decade. Neil Patrick Harris is obviously the main attraction, but the rest of the cast has a Friends-esque dynamic, with different pairings producing strong results each week.

I never actually thought I'd catch up to the live show, but it's almost finally upon us. Of course, now I've got to find something else to pass the summer nights. Now, about that Rubicon show...
