The series was recommended to me by a couple exactly like Lily & Marshall in the series. After so many years (like 23 or 24) together they're still the best couple I know of.
So now I make the recommendation. The characters are great, and intrincate stories spanning different episodes in different seasons are greatly put together. Comedy classics are shown in new original ways. It's not only a funny sitcom, but it's very regular with very few mediocre episodes. I think almost all of the episodes were high quality in laughs and drama/tender moments (without getting disgustingly sugary). The creators of the series always kept the heading firm towards what they wanted to do and it's clearly seen even in the last seasons.
The finale season was no exception with great episodes even when you know what is going to happen. You just don't expect *how* is it going to happen. The last two episodes were great, if not in laughs, yes in quality, easily being two of the best episodes in the entire series.
While it's not my fav sitcom, I'd put it among the top five. So if you don't know "what to watch next" and nothing currently airing attracts you, How I Met Your Mother is IMHO a great choice.
