How I Met Your Mother: "How Your Mother Met Me"
As one of the seminal sitcoms of the 2000s, CBS's HIMYM eventually had to do the impossible: introduce the titular mother that had been teased for nine years and somehow get us all to like her. This 200th episode positions The Mother as the lead character in a nine-year-long journey to learn how to love again, packed with references and returning guest characters... and they pull it off! We talk Cristin Milioti's standout performance, a well-done gay kiss, and how the "manic pixie dream girl" archetype can work when the character is fleshed out (singing english muffins, ukuleles, and robot paintings notwithstanding).
