To keep the magic of the original, How I Met Your Father will definitely need some gags of its own | Combined with the premise of a story of the past told by an older version of the main character, HIMYM plays with time with incredible skill, and it helps the show stand out |

An easy way to spot a major HIMYM fan is to say that out loud and see who salutes! From Marshall's open sensitive side to Robin's disinterest in being a wife and mother, to Ted's open search for love and , there were definitely some positives here that other sitcoms could copy | And it was something of a running joke that Barney probably fathered his fair share of children |
From the pineapple to the goat, the slap-bet to the bro code, the doppelgangers to the voiceovers, running gags keep continuity and give the fans something to borrow in their own lives, too.
The gang's stories before their time in New York is shown with flashbacks to their childhoods and college years and of course, Robin's time as a teen popstar in Canada , but the show also flashes forward on a regular basis, showing the gang's future | |

It's still a unique format for a comedy like this, and will help the spin-off stand out | Or do you think HIMYF will find other ways to tie itself to the original series? Rose also co-hosted the DC Movies Podcast, and has guested on other nerd and entertainment podcasts over the past five years |
How I Met Your Father should keep this in mind, and make sure that the zany style is balanced out by addressing real and important emotional issues, too | Robin's songs as Robin Sparkle just top it off, and the spin-off will have to find a way to include music like this |

It's nice to see something with a little more balance, and How I Met Your Father will hopefully keep a balance of new and old friendships and evolving social dynamics | Since then, Rose has written for Horror Honeys, Moviepilot and Quirkbooks as well as Screenrant, increasingly focusing on comic books and live-action comic adaptations, as well as diversity and representation on screen |
It would be nice to see this balance in the new series, too, with various characters in different areas of their dating lives.
