Arielle Port lives to analyze the stories she loves. She is an expert on network comedy, the MCU, and musical.
How I Met Your Mother is a legendary sitcom beloved by critics and audiences, but there is another TV show that aired at the same time that offered an even better comedic take on finding love. The 2000s saw many sitcoms like How I Met Your Mother try to reinvent the Friends format of a close-knit friend group, and How I Met Your Mother was one of the most successful and longest-running of those shows.
Tonally, HIMYM is a more earnest show and willing to occasionally dip into dramedy territory, while Happy Endings is a true network sitcom joke machine. Happy Endings only ran for three seasons while How I Met Your Mother ran for nine seasons, so perhaps Happy Endings had a longer run it also would have gone into soapier territory, like the death of Marshall’s father in HIMYM or the reveal of Robin’s infertility.
Related 12 Harsh Realities Of Rewatching How I Met Your Mother While How I Met Your Mother is a beloved and very funny sitcom, there are some jokes and characters that don't sit well. ABC’s lack of focus on Happy Endings was reflected in the show’s tumultuous broadcasting schedule. Season 1 episodes were aired out of order and had an atypical release schedule of two episodes dropping a week. The following season the time slot was changed to accommodate the first season of Don’t Trust the B**** in Apartment 23, and the season was cut short by one episode, which was held for the third season.
