I love HIMYM and have probably watched the entire series 5 times. This podcast is like a warm hug. They are both natural and lovely. But umm (IYKYK) please change the New York song to instrumental only. I love Josh’s music, but hearing those same two refrains over and over is driving me a little nutty. Much love.

MD2299 · May 2025

Josh and Craig take listeners on a nostalgic journey as they look back on HIMYM. Yet this is not just a rewatch podcast, but one that looks to uncover the secrets of the show, its longevity and the way it works itself into people’s lives for the better. Highly recommend this podcast.

This was absolutely grand! Best idea since the show went off the air. The best way to relive the sitcom beginning to end in a new way for repeat viewers… lol the behind the scenes tidbits and commentary EPISODE by episode, scenes spoken over entire episodes, and a weekly format again that will focus on episodes in order for all 207 episodes — YES!!! So special. It can’t be binged or consumed in a weekend… and I can’t put away and come back after they’ve finished cuz I’ll be returning each week for the latest episode… and I love this cuz the slow burn over a period is HOW SITCOMS WORKED!!! Especially these types of shows where there’s actual depth and emotional range, deep - expansive storylines evolving over decades… a sitcom!! It’s still wild to me that a comedic sitcom managed to become so much more than that. And they succeeded far beyond! Friends had its moments… it had some sad scenes, deeper stories, flashbacks, true character depth… yes. But HIMYM went a new level with it and managed to get it right despite flashbacks and jumping scenes all episode long! All series long! But they did it and it worked and the ability to intrigue, keep mystery, questions opened lasting 6-7+ years… a half hour sitcom managed to be and do all of that! Despite being the real classical type sitcom. The Friends, Seinfeld, Cheers style comedic show. It fit that precisely but also in its own way — same way Friends brought its own vibe to the classic style in the 1990’s. HIMYM did a modern spin but it was every bit the traditional broadcast primetime network sitcom. And so much more. So there’s a lot to unpack and dig into and since much of the staff, not to mention the crew (creators and writers) - do very little press or interviews. The deep talk and reflection over the show never really happened. But it’s now off the air for just over 10 years. It’s a fantastic time to do this. Plenty of post-HIMYM life, reflection, introspection, experiences amongst cast and crew — getting their recollection and tidbits from the other side of the show is fascinating. So I’m game.. I’m here for it! And I’ll be here til all 207+ episodes are dropped here.

Robert W Rogers · May 2025

I love the recent pod trend of rewatch shows. I especially love it when cast and crew members are the ones running it. I’ve been hoping for a while that one would emerge about HIMYM, and here it is. Josh and Craig are fantastic. Keep it up!!
