Was it unnecessary? Absolutely, but this isn't bad. The moment you compare it to the original or listen to big fans of "How I Met Your Mother" you'll instantly dislike or be disappointed by this. It's not perfect, the problem, which unfortunately is a big one, is that it adopted its name from a fan favorite and those rarely ever live up to the name unless the fans were actually asking for it. HIMYM was a show a lot of people held close to their hearts. Judging from the first couple episodes released so far(which isn't advisable) I'd give it a good 6/10, most definitely not a one or three; we've all seen actual crappy shows but this isn't one of them, if you manage to consider this as a separate show you might just be able to enjoy it. People abhorred this before it even came out so sadly it never stood a chance.
