Admit it; you’ve seen every single episode of Friends this point. Maybe it’s time to stop with the endless re-runs and switch over to the critically-acclaimed How I Met Your Mother instead?

It’s not much of a secret that Friends and How I Met Your Mother basically follow the same plot and scenario. Both shows focus on a group of six friends, chilling at a pub in New York, and there are side plots in between.

The main plot, however, feels incredibly Ross and Rachel. Ted (Smulders) has fallen in love with the newest girl to join the group – and, yup, he gets rejected very early on. What follows is an incredible ‘will they, won’t they?’ storyline which should give Friends fans major nostalgia vibes.

The series kicks off when Ted’s best friend, Marshall (Segel), drops the bombshell that he plans to propose to longtime girlfriend Lily (Hannigan), a kindergarten teacher. Suddenly, Ted realizes that he had better get a move on if he hopes to find true love. Helping him in the quest is Barney (Harris), a friend with endless -- often outrageous -- opinions, a penchant for suits (remind you of a certain Chandler Bing, anyone?) and a foolproof way to meet women.

So, yeah, when Ted meets Robin (Milioti), he is sure it's love at first sight, but the affair fizzles into friendship. However, unlike Friends, there’s a big twist; this story is told entirely through flashbacks, as older Ted tells his children how he met their mother. But who IS their mother?

You’ll only find out if you watch the entire thing. God speed, TV addicts.
