It only takes three days and 48 minutes of non-stop watching to finish all nine seasons of How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM). We found that out the hard way when Netflix decided they were removing all nine seasons of the beloved sitcom back in 2019 and we attempted one final binge. Thankfully, they’ve seen the errors of their ways, because Ted, Barney, Robin, Lily and Marshall are back on Aussie screens and it’s going to be lege… wait for it…. dary.
No matter your opinion on that season finale, we can all agree that How I Met Your Mother is one of the most iconic American sitcoms of all time. Running from 2005-2014, the show followed Ted (Josh Radnor) who narrates the story of how he met the mother of his children. Along the way, we become way too invested in the lives of his friends and their relationships (we’ve cried over Lily and Marshall more times than we can count, and Barney is actually… sweet?) as we follow Ted in his quest to find ‘The One’. But where can you watch it Down Under? Find out in this Canstar Blue guide.
