I think Barney makes HIMYM,without him the shows wouldn't even be comparable in my opinion.But I think Big Bang Theory is just slightly better.
Which one do you prefer?

I like both. Big Bang Theory can really irritate me at times though because I know it can be a lot better than some of the episodes they produce.

Big Bang Theory for sure. Watched How I Met Your Mother and couldn't get into it at all, even with Cobie Smulders and Alyson Hannigan.

I can't stand Big Bang. HIMYM all day.
Harris plays Barney so well.

I tried the first season of HIMYM, sometimes I felt like I was forcing myself to laugh, just so I felt like I got something out of it. That said, it does, in some respect, try to tell you a story.
Big Bang Theory is great to me, because it doesn't require religious watching, and it can get me laughing a good portion of the time. Do I think it is the greatest comedy, no, but I think it is a nice breather from my usual choices in TV

If I had to pick, spam but both shows have run their course imo.

Big Bang Theory and it's not even close. my thoughts exactly. HIMYM is very hit & miss IMO and Ted has joined the pantheon of unlikeable main characters seasons ago. |

How I Met Your Mother. I love both shows, but The Big Bang Theory wishes it had the writing that HIMYM does. I'm currently in the middle of season 6 of Big Bang and the show has accomplished practically nothing as far as the span of the series goes. You can watch almost any episode at any time and jump right into the laughs and understand, which is fine when you're looking to fill 22 minutes, but when you're an avid fan like me and power through seasons, I'm here in season 6 and just thinking "When is something going to happen?". All the show has really established are the relationships. Penny and Leonard hook up and break up a lot. I was originally impressed with the callbacks to prior episodes, but then I started watching HIMYM and it made spam's callbacks relatively sub-par. HIMYM on the other hand, gives you your 22 minute fill, provides laughs and methodical stories thats progressing over seasons. The writing on the show - continuity, callbacks, doing that thing where you take an episode or story arc from years ago and adding a new spin on it and tying it to the present, they do it all. Its a relatable show that takes real life issues and situations and puts a funny spin on it. Theres still two  ing slaps left in the slap bet from Season 2 and were in season 9!!! Like I said I actually really enjoy Big Bang Theory, but when comparing it to How I met Your Mother, there's really no comparison. |

Funny that they both have extremely annoying women in the lead female roles. But I gotta go with spam, Penny aside the cast is excellent and the show is just awesome. HIMYM is just a Friends ripoff with a worse cast.
