   I thought HIMYM was very funny, at least for the first three seasons or so.   
    It outlived its natural lifespan long before it finally wheezed to an end.   
    Iirc there were a fair number of BTVS alums who turned up over the course   
   of the show.   
      
   Crazy People was awful.  Considering the talent on both sides of the   
   camera, it should have been much better.  I didn't make it past 2 or 3 eps.
