Alyson Hannigan - "How I Met Your Mother" Sitcom DVD - Movieweb.com Review

Monday 20 November 2006, by Webmaster

On November 21 one of the best shows on TV comes to DVD, How I Met Your Mother: Season 1!

Synopsis:

A love story in reverse: How I Met Your Mother is a fresh new comedy about Ted (Josh Radnor) and how he fell in love. When Ted’s best friends Marshall (Jason Segel) and Lilly (Alyson Hannigan) decide to tie the knot it sparks the search for his own Miss Right. Helping him in his quest is his bar-hopping "wing-man" Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), a confirmed bachelor with plenty of wild schemes for picking up women. Ted’s sites are set on the charming and independent Robin (Cobie Smulders), but destiny may have something different in mind. Told through a series of flashbacks, Ted recalls his single days, the highs and lows of dating and the search for true love.

Haaaaave you met Ted? Get acquainted with one of last fall’s biggest comedic hits when How I Met Your Mother: Season 1 arrives on DVD on November 21 from Fox Home Entertainment. A nominee for "Best New Comedy" at the 2005 People’s Choice Awards, How I Met Your Mother features an all-star cast including Josh Radnor (Not Another Teen Movie), Jason Segel ("Freaks & Geeks," "Undeclared"), Cobie Smulders ("The L Word") Neil Patrick Harris ("Doogie Howser, M.D.," Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle) and Alyson Hannigan ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer," Date Movie) in a hysterical comedy about Ted (Radnor), a New York City architect determined to find love after his two best friends get engaged.

After multiple introductions to more than one Miss Wrong - courtesy of his suit-loving "wing-man" Barney (Harris) - Ted sets his sights on the beautiful and independent Robin (Smulders), but destiny may have something different in mind. Told through a series of flashbacks, an older and unseen Ted (Bob Saget, "Full House") narrates the story for his children, telling them of his past successes and failures in love and how he ultimately "met their mother." The three-disc DVD collection includes all 22 season one episodes, audio commentary from the cast and crew, a "Happy Hour" bloopers reel and a Video Yearbook featurette. How I Met Your Mother: Season 1 will be available for the suggested retail price of $39.98 U.S./$54.98 Canada. Prebook is October 18, 2006.
