FA was surprisingly good! The trailers hadn't impressed me, even though I like Hank Azaria, and the main reason I gave it a shot was because ASH looked so funny. But then once I watched the show, I actually liked the other characters and the story, and, well, then it was gone. :( I loved seeing ASH play that kind of character.
General consensus seems to be that I should give P&R until S2. Good to know!
Ooh, HIMYM! Give me a fandom and I'll answer the following: Favorite character: Ted Least Favorite character: Zoe. Out of the main cast, though, I have the least patience for Barney. 5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Ted/Robin, Lily/Marshall, Barney/Robin, Ted/Barney, S1 Ted/Victoria Character I find most attractive: On a purely physical level, NPH, but Barney's womanizing is so repulsive that I have a hard time viewing him as attractive on the show. Ted appeals to me most in personality, and I think Josh Radnor is pretty hot, too. Character I would marry: I'd be happy to be the mother. *g* Character I would be best friends with: Marshall a random thought: I was an enthusiastic Barney/Robin shipper until "The Rough Patch" and all the other contrived crap the writers pulled in S5. I'd still be happy if they were together, but now I'm mostly apathetic and even a little conflicted because I know Robin won't have children but I want Barney to be a father. An unpopular opinion: I think Ted and Robin were wonderful together and could have made it work for the long-haul. I really dislike the recent retcons about their relationship (such as flashbacks in S5 or S6 indicating that Ted thought she was too independent). my canon OTP: Ted/Robin. Non-canon OTP: Ted/Barney. I would also be amused by Lily/Barney because she wouldn't put up with his shenanigans. most badass character: Robin pairing I am not a fan of: Robin/Don WHAT WAS THAT SHIT UGH. character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): They started screwing with both Robin and Barney in S5 when they were dating and they haven't really stopped. They have both gone through some really great growth since then (such as Barney and his dad, which was wonderfully executed), but it hasn't been consistent. Ted was also an ass in S6 with Zoe. favorite friendship: Ted and Marshall character I want to adopt or be adopted by: If I were going to be adopted by TV parents, I think Marshall and Lily would make great ones.
