HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER is a comedy about Ted and how he fell in love. It all started when Ted's best friend, aspiring environmental lawyer Marshall, proposed to his college sweetheart, Lily, a kindergarten teacher.  Now that the two are married and expecting a baby, Ted realizes that he had better get a move on it if he too hopes to find true love.  Helping him in his quest to find his future wife is Barney, a friend with endless, sometimes outrageous opinions, a penchant for suits and a foolproof way to meet women.  When Ted meets Robin, he's sure it's love at first sight, but after a whirlwind romance with her, he realizes destiny has something else in store for him.  The series is narrated through flashbacks from the future.
