Review: How I Met Your Mother

How I met your mother is an American comedy television show that is guaranteed to make you lose track of the day. The 20 minute episodes and the hilarity of the storyline make it a show that can be eagerly binge-watched, or alternatively, something you can put on to pass the time.

The show follows Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor), a hopeful young architect trying to succeed in his career and his love life in the beloved city of New York. The show is told with a voiceover narrator, as Ted recounts the story to his kids of “How I met your mother”. It begins after Teds best friend Marshall (Jason Segel) proposes to his girlfriend Lily (Alyson Hannigan), and Ted makes it his quest to find “the one” and is convinced she is somewhere in New York. Accompanied by his friend Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) who has endlessly hilarious jokes, a fetish for suits, and a playbook that is full of the best lies to pick up women, Ted embarks on his journey to find love. Though it sounds sexist, its possibly one of the funniest parts of the whole show.

After meeting Robin (Cobie Smulders), Ted is convinced they are destined, and spends almost the whole show talking about his love for her. However when it becomes apparent that perhaps they aren’t meant to be, Ted seeks help from Barney, who eagerly accepts the title of “Wing Man Bro”.

If you’re in the mood for a laugh, How I Met Your Mother is the first stop, its hilariously witty and outrageously entertaining. The only downside to the show is the ending… But no spoilers here!
4 Stars!

Is Australian TV Guilty of Whitewashing?

Image
It's time to wake up Australia. As we come to a day and age where large countries such as Australia are becoming more multicultural, you have to ask yourself whether Australian tv is behind on the times. Of course these days they are more open about showing contestants on reality shows of a more diverse background, but still Australian made dramas such as Home and Away and Neighbours have yet to catch up with the rest of the world and the current Australia. Home and Away and Neighbours have been Australian soap opera favourites bringing the sense of drama into households since the early 80's. As Australia is transforming and becoming more diverse and multicultural, its weird to see that two Australian classics have yet to catch up in the sense of multiculturalism. Most if not all actors and actresses on the show are potentially  originally light skinned (without those tans from being a show set on the beach) and come from an Austra
