How I Met Your Mother: The Platinum Rule
(S03E11) As a fan of How I Met Your Mother, I bet it’s brawny for you to explain to non-fans why the show is a bit different from other sitcoms, isn’t it? You could tell those non-fans to watch an episode, but whether that person runs into a standard-grade, linearly-told episode like some of w…
