I can't argue with its detractors. They're right about everything. With that said, I love the show and watched it faithfully week in and week out.

The existence of that couple makes no sense to me.

Yeah, I watched a couple of episodes of How I Met Your Mother the other day and it reinforced my opinion that it's the worst TV comedy I've ever seen. I'd say that I can't believe it was a hit, but tepid mediocrity tends to be pretty huge.
i've only seen a handful of HIMYM episodes, but I haven't been able to figure out the difference between it and Friends

The difference is smartphones.
And writers that actually lived in New York and accurately express that experience in really fun ways.

it's not a popular opinion to consider the wire to be the best television show ever made (well, maybe it's popular on certain corners of the internet and among critics), but it's certainly the best opinion
