Details
How I Met Your Mother is an Emmy Award winning American sitcom that premiered on CBS on September 19, 2005. The show was created by Craig Thomas and Carter Bays. As a framing device, the main character, Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor), in the year 2030 recounts to his son and daughter the events that led to his meeting their mother, which explains the title and allows for a narration in the past tense. How I Met Your Mother's other main characters are Marshall Eriksen (Jason Segel), Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders), Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris), and Lily Aldrin (Alyson Hannigan).
Production
Inspired by "our friends and the stupid stuff we did in New York," How I Met Your Mother is Bays and Thomas's idea. The two drew from their friendship in creating the characters, with Ted based loosely on Bays, and Marshall and Lily based loosely on Thomas and his wife. The series is produced by 20th Century Fox Television.
Episodes from the first season generally started with the opening credit screen. However, a cold opening has been used since season two. Viewers then occasionally see Ted's children on a couch and hear him talking to them, telling the story of how he met their mother. Alternatively, scenes from previous shows or shots of New York City with Ted narrating over the top are shown. Thomas has explicitly said that Future Ted is an unreliable narrator.[1]
The theme song is a portion of "Hey Beautiful" by The Solids, of which Bays and Thomas are members.
The bar "MacLaren's", in which some of the show is set, is based on a bar in New York called McGee's.[2] It has a mural that Carter Bays and Craig Thomas both liked and wanted to incorporate into the show.[3] The name is from Carter Bays' assistant Carl MacLaren, the bartender in the show is also called Carl.
