57:11||Season 1, Ep. 6Here's a question: are WE Ted? Are we pining after an idealized notion of a television show that by definition cannot exist in real life? Will HIMYM ever give us the love we seek? Anyway this is an episode about a REALLY hot pumpkin costume.5. Stupid Worldbuilding (S01E05: "Okay Awesome”)
01:13:20||Season 1, Ep. 5Huh, I wonder where this Barney joke is going. Anyway, this episode gives us some short-lived conflict in Lily and Marshall's relationship and highlights Robin's internal wants! Cool! But mostly it's an episode about a very loud place.4. Ted. STOP. (S01E04: "Return of the Shirt”)

01:03:44||Season 1, Ep. 3Barney Stinson. Endearing clown? Deeply concerning man? Let's talk about it, while also squaring off in the first of what is sure to be many BLOOD DUELS between hosts!2. The Piss Isn't Really Part of The Analogy (S01E02: "Purple Giraffe")
01:06:58||Season 1, Ep. 2After that pilot, we are shocked and encouraged to find that there are actual jokes in this one! Not only that but also an almost workable metaphor (sans the piss).
