How I Stopped Caring About ‘How I Met Your Mother’
I don’t know what it is, but I am not enjoying How I Met Your Mother as much as I used to. Oh wait — I know exactly why I am not enjoying it. It has become annoying and tired. The show that was once humorous, full of wit and “sparkle” has become a sitcom...
