English Summary:

How I Met Your Mother (often abbreviated to HIMYM) is an American sitcom created by Craig Thomas and Carter Bays for CBS. The series, which ran from 2005 to 2014, follows the main character, Ted Mosby, and his group of friends in New York City's Manhattan. As a framing device, Ted, in the year 2030, recounts to his son and daughter the events that led him to meet their mother. How I Met Your Mother is a joint production by Bays & Thomas Productions and 20th Century Fox Television and syndicated by 20th Television. 

Season 5

Ted begins his job as a professor of architecture, standing in the middle of a classroom – although the mother was present, it turns out to be an economics class as he's in the wrong lecture hall. Barney and Robin have had a sexual relationship throughout the summer and Lily locks them in a room, forcing them to come to terms with their relationship. After a rough patch they decide to break up. Robin describes it instead as "two friends getting back together." Barney immediately goes back to his old ways, using the playbook to score with women. Throughout the season Barney and Robin show feelings of regret over their break-up.

Ted dates a graduate student named Cindy (Rachel Bilson) and it is revealed her roommate is his future wife. Robin meets Don Frank (Benjamin Koldyke), her new co-anchor on her 4 AM TV show. Though she initially dislikes him, the two start dating and eventually she moves in with him. At the end of the season they break up when Don takes a job in Chicago — a job which Robin had previously turned down to stay in New York with Don. Lily's father, Mickey (Chris Elliott), who was absent during her childhood, makes an appearance at Thanksgiving. Mickey and Lily are able to mend their relationship at the end of the meal, where Marshall uses his fourth slap on Barney. Ted discovered that Tony, who stole Stella away from Ted at the altar, wrote a movie on Ted and Stella's relationship. The movie, “The Wedding Bride,” portrays Tony as the hero and Ted as the villain. The movie becomes popular and Ted unexpectedly sees it while on a date with another girl. Ted is infuriated by how he is portrayed in the movie, and views the actual story as the complete opposite. Ted buys a house, which needs to be fixed up badly, but is later revealed to be the future home for Ted and his children.

Lily and Marshall are still unsure about having children. After watching four doppelgangers of their group (Lesbian Robin, Moustache Marshall, Stripper Lily and Mexican Wrestler Ted) they decide to leave the big decision to the universe's "infinite wisdom" and start trying when they have seen Barney's Doppelganger.

In the season finale, Barney disguises himself to have sex with a girl from every country in the world, and Lily and Marshall mistake him for the final doppelganger. When Marshall finds out, he decides not to tell Lily, fearing she will want to wait even longer to have children. Lily eventually finds out and decides to wait. In the season finale, Lily thinks she sees Barney's doppelganger as a hot dog vendor, which causes the group to realize she is seeing what she wants to see, and play along. Eventually Barney agrees having babies is not a stupid idea and Lily and Marshall should go forth. The season ends with Lily asking Marshall to "put a baby in my belly".

Staffel 5

Barney und Robin gestehen sich ihre Gefühle ein und werden ein Paar. Als die Beziehung aber, wieder unter dem Einfluss von Lily, scheitert, kehrt Barney schnell zu seinem gewohnten Lebensstil zurück, während Robin die Trennung schwerer verkraftet. Obwohl sie sich voll auf ihre Karriere konzentrieren möchte, verliebt sie sich in ihren Kollegen Don Frank. Als Barney erfahren hat, dass er Robin durch sein Verhalten nach der Trennung verletzt hat, setzt er sich dafür ein, dass Robin und Don zusammenkommen. Zum Ende der Staffel erhält Robin ein Jobangebot aus Chicago, welches sie Don zuliebe ablehnt. Daraufhin erhält Don dasselbe Angebot und nimmt es an, worauf auch diese Beziehung zerbricht.

Ted hat einen schlechten Start als Professor. Er findet sich jedoch in die Rolle hinein und trifft sich mit einer Studentin. Es stellt sich heraus, dass es sich um die Mitbewohnerin seiner zukünftigen Frau handelt. Auf der zweiten Hochzeit seiner Mutter verschwindet er heimlich und kauft ein Haus. Dies stellt sich zwar als marode heraus, Ted hält jedoch daran fest, und es wird enthüllt, dass die Familie Mosby im Jahre 2030 in diesem Haus wohnt. Marshall versucht, Lily eifersüchtig zu machen, um der langjährigen Beziehung einen neuen Impuls zu geben. Es kommt deswegen zu einem Ehestreit, den sie beilegen. Gegen Ende der Staffel beschließen die beiden, ein Kind zu bekommen.

Cast / Besetzung:

• Josh Radnor as Ted Mosby, an architect, college professor and the central character of the series. He is the main protagonist since he tells the story of his adult years from his late twenties to his early thirties and about all the obstacles he has to overcome before he meets "The One" aka the Mother. This story is told by the Older Ted Mosby, and narrator of the series, Bob Saget. Ted moved to New York City with his friends Marshall and Lily after graduating from Wesleyan University. In New York, he met Barney at the urinal of MacLaren's and Robin, to whom he was immediately attracted. Ted is on a quest for happiness and "The One", the woman he will marry. Ted experiences many relationships, one of them being Robin, that reveal the qualities he wants in his future wife. At the end of each relationship Ted, with levity, reflects upon what went wrong. Although hope to find “the one” diminishes with each failed relationship, Ted does not give up. Ted prefers more elegant and high-class interests than his friends have. He goes to great lengths to profess his love to the women in his life, but they all falter eventually. Despite these qualities, Ted often acts immaturely, such as partaking in wild activities with Barney. In the show's finale, he says, that, in Tracy, he had met the love of his life (the titular Mother), but only after he was finished telling the story he realized that Robin was the love of his life.
• Jason Segel as Marshall Eriksen, Ted Mosby's other best friend. Marshall and Ted are assigned to be roommates at Wesleyan University, and remained living together when they move to New York City. In season 2 Marshall marries Lily, with whom he has been in love since his freshman year of college; they have a child during season 7. Marshall was born in St. Cloud, Minnesota, where his family and culture are the foundation to major conflicts he faces in the series. He has an interest in the paranormal phenomenon, and mythical creatures, particularly Sasquatch. His dream to be an environmental lawyer, conflicts with his immediate need for money, such as for his wedding and to raise his children.
• Cobie Smulders as Robin Scherbatsky, a news anchor who is trying to make it as a journalist and dates both Ted and Barney. Robin emigrated from Canada to take a job in a news station and met Ted at MacLaren's; her Canadian background is a source of many jokes from her friends, for instance, ‘Robin Sparkles’. She is shown to be very career-centric and rejects traditional roles, such as getting married and having kids. Robin often drinks scotch and smokes cigars, and she is an avid gun fan. She and Barney get engaged and later marry in the first part of the series finale, but divorce in the second part, three years later. Smulders' husband Taran Killam appeared in six episodes as Gary Blauman.
• Neil Patrick Harris as Barney Stinson is a serial playboy, using his relative wealth and an array of outrageous strategies to seduce women with no intention of engaging in a relationship. His catchphrases include 'Suit Up' and 'Legend-wait-for-it-Dary'. He is Ted's best friend although Ted knew Marshall since college and Marshall is Ted's first best friend prior to the two meeting Barney. Abandoned by his father at a young age, Barney has abandonment issues and clings to his friends. Barney tells his friends extravagant lies about events in his life as a defence mechanism for his substandard childhood. He marries Robin in the series finale but they divorce after three years. In 2020, a failed one-night stand gives him a daughter, Ellie. Harris' husband David Burtka has appeared in seven episodes as Scooter.
• Alyson Hannigan as Lily Aldrin, a kindergarten teacher, an aspiring artist, and Marshall's wife. She is terrible at keeping secrets and can be manipulative at times. She marries Marshall in season 2 and gives birth to Marvin in season 7. Though appearing sweet and cute, Lily can be quite unexpectedly fierce. Lily Aldrin's best girl friend is Robin Scherbatsky, who she met through Ted as he dated Robin. Hannigan's husband Alexis Denisof appeared in ten episodes as Sandy Rivers.
• Cristin Milioti as Tracy McConnell (guest - season 8; main - season 9), (although only appearing occasionally, 28 episodes out of 208, she plays an integral part in the show in the build-up to the finale) the future wife of Ted Mosby, The Mother. Tracy McConnell is first seen in the finale of season 8, though her name is hinted at season 1 (01x09 "Belly full of Turkey") and officially revealed in the series finale. Ted falls madly in love with her, but in 2024 she passes away.
• Bob Saget as Future Ted Mosby (voice only, uncredited) in the year 2030 telling his children the story of how he met their mother.
