Today was a memorable day in my 'TV-life', I watched the last episode of the well-known American sitcom 'How I Met Your Mother'. After watching 208 episodes or have spent more than 73 hours on it, it feels quite sad to say goodbye.
The main topic of the series is Ted Mosby (the main character) telling his kids how he met their mother. He does this by telling them all of the adventures he and his four best friends experienced from 2005 till 2014. Each episode treats a subject about the love life, career or friendship between the five friends.
Each character has his own characteristics. My favourite was Barney, he is a stereotypical womanizer-playboy whose biggest fear is marriage. I literally almost died from laughing at the jokes he made. Ted is an architect who desperately wants to find the love of his life, but just keeps dating the wrong girls. Marhall and Lily are the perfect couple, they have been together since high school. At last there is Robin, a Canadian girl working as a news anchor. There is a love triangle between Ted, Barney and Robin.
This is one of my favourite series ever, it always made me laugh and feel good. It was also ideal to clear my head, for example as a break during studying. Besides, there is some serious wisdom incorporated in the series.
I'm sure I'll watch the series once again, because like Barney would've said it: it was legen -wait for it- dary.

Yesterday evening, I watched 2 episodes of the Belgian soap 'Thuis'. It's a soap I've been following since I was 5years old. There are a lot of people who think soaps like Thuis and Familie are lame because of their easy storylines and predictable twists and turns. However Thuis is more popular than ever, with more than 1 million viewers a day. There it beats Familie, the eternal 'enemy'(only 600 000-700 000 viewers a day)
