These ‘Real American’ Sitcoms Are More Socially Relevant Than Roseanne

How I Met Your Mother Undoes The Romantic Comedy

How I Might Your Mother never pretended to be hopelessly romantic. Despite a controversial happy ending, the show spent eight years on CBS getting depressed with its characters.

Ted, the lead, spent the run of the show failing in every relationship he ever tried. Playboy Barney Stinson used his personality to hide his emptiness at never having known his father. Robyn didn’t know she wanted to have kids until she learned she was infertile. The list goes on, but we’ll spare your feelings. Prepare yourself for our next show, it’s one of the most controversial ever made!
