I’ve talked about How I Met Your Mother quite a few times here on this blog. In short, I think its one of the best sitcoms on television right now. The characters seem like people I’d actually be friends with, and in fact, a lot of the events of the story do parallel things that have happened in my life.
Or, how McLaren’s (the fake pub that the gang always hangs out in) is based on a real life pub in New York called McGee’s.
As in, the McGee’s pub that was literally next door to the apartment building I lived in for my first three years in New York. The McGee’s that I hung out in on a weekly basis. Whose bartenders I was friends with. Whose super bowl pool I joined. The McGee’s I always try to get people to go to when we can’t think of anything to do (and still do sometimes, even though I don’t live there anymore).
Years from now, I will tell my kids about the TV show that was based on my life.
