Earlier this week Josh Radnor and Cobie Smulders appeared on The Early Show on CBS to talk about HIMYM. Apparently the big news is that HIMYM is being compared to Friends, and the Ted and Robin story, some are saying, is much like the Ross and Rachel story line. Good thing we have Josh to set folks straight!

“I don’t think our show, I mean, other than (it being about) young people in New York, beyond that, the show’s not really like ‘Friends,’ Radnor said. “I mean, the way we tell stories … it’s almost like the whole show is a big mystery, ‘Who is Ted gonna end up with?’ and each episode is kind of a mystery. I just think it’s fascinating. And the other thing is … the Ross and Rachel thing was, are they going to get together, or aren’t they? We’re together, and the question is, when are we gonna part? “

There is a video of the interview, but I haven’t been able to get it to play on any of my computers. Hopefully you can.
