How I Met Your Mother
Suit up for the hilarious Season Five of How I Met Your Mother, the outrageous, Emmy®-nominated hit starring Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Segel and Alyson Hannigan! The show's funniest season to date is loaded with hook-ups, break-ups and the return of Slapsgiving — not to mention the hottest guest stars imaginable, including Jennifer Lopez, Carrie Underwood, Amanda Peet and Rachel Bilson. On the dating front, Barney and Robin take their relationship to the next level — before calling it off — and Ted meets the roommate of his future wife in this uproarious, modern-day love story told in reverse.
After sharing a kiss at the beginning of the summer, Robin and Barney are unsure how to handle their mutual attraction. After some consideration they tell the gang they have decided to remain just friends, but secretly continue seeing each other. They are able to get away with their secret romance for a couple months, but are discovered when Ted, Marshall and Lily walk in on them together. They explain to the gang that they are happy with their casual relationship, and didn’t want to complicate it by defining it. This is unacceptable to Lily, who pressures them to label their situation, and ultimately locks them in Robin’s room to force them to address it. Meanwhile, Ted is anxious about his first days as a professor at Columbia, which is made worse when he shows up at the wrong class and starts his lecture.
