As a follow up post to my open letter to CBS, I wanted to give you guys some places where you can watch full episodes of HIMYM. The best way of course is to watch them when they air, or record it and watch it whenever. However there are some people that can’t watch it when it airs and haven’t ponied up for a DVR (TiVo) yet, so here are some alternatives.

I must warn you some of these are not exactly “legal” in the USA, and I am not a lawyer so beware before you watch.

The first place is INNERTUBE on CBS.com. Go to the CBS home page and on the lower left hand side is a button (Barney’s Face) that will lead you to CBS’s online viewing area. Currently the only full episode is “Bachelor Party.” Of the options this is the most legal as it is shown by CBS.

Another place is YouTube.com. There you can search for “How I Met Your Mother” and watch almost any episode. This is probably fine, legally speaking, for you to watch, though the uploaders could get in some trouble. And there is always the risk that they can be taken down at any time.

The final place to watch HIMYM is to download them from the internets. Bittorrent is known for having almost every show known to man for download, but beware this could get you in some trouble. It’s in a legal grey area in my opinion. The show is aired for free on free public airwaves and can be recorded off of those airwaves. What gets grey is the ability to redistribute these recordings. So beware.

You can also always use the link in the sidebar and purchase your copy of season 1 on DVD (and help this blog out too!) or Join Netflix and get it that way too (also helping out this blog). The important thing is to keep watching the show. How else will you be able to keep up with everything written here?
