Where to start with How I Met Your Mother

In order. It is one long joke with a punchline at the end and there is no way to take it out of sequence. Two things worth knowing before you start: season nine spends all twenty-four of its episodes on one weekend, which people either love or cannot stand, and there is an alternate ending on the season nine disc that exists because of how divisive the real one was. The spin-off is a separate show and needs none of this.

  1. 1
    How I Met Your Mother, seasons 1 to 8 How I Met Your Mother

    A hundred and eighty-four episodes, and the shape of the thing: a framing story in 2030 and everything else in flashback.

  2. 2
    How I Met Your Mother, season 9 How I Met Your Mother

    Twenty-four episodes, one weekend, and the ending people are still arguing about.

  3. 3
    How I Met Your Father How I Met Your Father

    Optional and separate. Thirty episodes on Hulu with a new cast and the same framing device.

Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.

Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.

All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.

Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
