Okay, let's be real. We all went through a How I Met Your Mother phase. Remember gathering with your friends to watch?
But after nine seasons of ups and downs with Ted Mosby, you need something new. So, what's next for your sitcom cravings?
The Gang's All Here (Again?)
Looking for that same friend group dynamic? Friends is the obvious choice, right?
Hear me out. I think New Girl actually captures that chaotic, found-family vibe better. Jess Day and her roommates are just as lovable and quirky as the MacLaren's gang.
Unpopular Opinion Time
Here’s where I might lose some of you. I’ve always felt Happy Endings was robbed of its chance. It was cancelled way too soon!
The jokes were quick, the characters were hilarious, and it didn't take itself too seriously. Plus, Max Blum is a comedic genius.
Love (and Laughs) in the City
HIMYM was about the journey to finding love, right? Modern Love on Amazon gives you all that and more.
It's an anthology series, so each episode is a new story. Some are heartwarming, some are heartbreaking, and some are just plain awkward. Sound familiar?
Maybe Some British Charm?
Need a change of scenery? Try Coupling. It’s basically the British version of Friends.
It’s even more outrageous and sarcastic! Get ready for some seriously awkward and funny situations.
Beyond the Bar
Okay, How I Met Your Mother had a great bar setting. But sometimes you need something a little different.
Parks and Recreation offers that same sense of community and optimism. Leslie Knope's unwavering enthusiasm is infectious.
Plus, Ron Swanson provides the perfect amount of cynical contrast. This show has it all!
Step Away from the Sitcoms
Want something a little more… animated? Bob's Burgers is where it's at.
The Belcher family is dysfunctional, hilarious, and surprisingly heartwarming. And the musical numbers are pure gold. You can thank me later.
Nostalgia Trip, Anyone?
If you’re craving a blast from the past, That '70s Show is always a good choice.
It’s got the same ensemble cast, the same witty banter, and the same feeling of growing up with your friends. And the fashion is… something else.
Okay, One More Unpopular Opinion
I liked the ending of HIMYM. I said it! Sue me!
Sure, it wasn't perfect. But it was emotional and tied everything together (sort of). Now, let's all agree to disagree and go watch something funny.
So, there you have it. A few shows to fill that How I Met Your Mother-shaped hole in your heart. Happy watching!
