This week, the list of shows and movies that will be added to Netflix was released. I got excited as I browsed through my new ways to procrastinate more important things. However, as I went through the list of tv shows leaving in November, I saw one too familiar. How I Met Your Mother, by far my absolute favorite tv show, is leaving Netflix.
Relationships revolve around the show. Someone is always in a relationship, and some form of drama comes with these relationships. In honor of the show that I have spent countless hours watching and rewatching, here are the best and worst relationships from the nine seasons of the show. (Warning: Spoilers ahead.)
Ted and Zoey
This a very sticky relationship from the start. Zoey is protesting against a new building that Ted is running. It is his dream to have his own architecture in the New York City skyline, so the fact that Zoey is against that is not the healthiest way to have a relationship.
Robin and Kevin
Kevin is initially Robin’s therapist. So once Kevin decides he likes her and can no longer they be her therapist, they begin to date. He has very deep feelings for her, but they are not reciprocated because Robin still has feelings for Barney.
Barney and Quinn
This is a very interesting relationship from start to finish. It never seems very serious, until Barney suddenly proposes to Quinn, and they are looking to get married. Quinn and Barney attempt to negotiate
Ted and Stella
Ted first meets Stella when he has to get a butterfly tattoo removed. Throughout his sessions, he tries to flirt with Stella and convince her to go out with him.
Ted and Victoria
Victoria, in my opinion, is one of Ted’s more stable relationships. They meet at a wedding and have an amazing relationship until she leaves to follow her cooking dreams in Germany. The long-distance relationship blows up in their face. Even though they do eventually meet and date again, it was never the same after Victoria left for Germany.
Robin and Ted
So, I know that everyone thinks Ted and Robin are supposed to be the couple, and they should end up together. While they do essentially end up together, I feel their relationship was way too dragged out and they no longer had the same love for each other that they once did.
Ted and Tracy
While their time together on the show is short, the few scenes together prove that she is Ted’s soulmate. They are the same
Barney and Robin
Personally, I think this is the relationship that should have stayed together. Never in my wildest dreams when I first watched the show would I think Barney and Robin would date, let alone get married. However, I loved their relationship from start to finish, and am still bitter about the way things ended between them.
Marshall and Lily
This will always be my favorite couple. Despite the slip up in season 2, they are always together, and always in love. You can tell that “Marshmallow” and “Lilypad” truly care for each other, and they really are best friends. Their relationship is one for the books.
