While watching Star Trek Next Generation Masks episode I could not help to think what this show meant for people who are huge fans. While watching that episode I thought that maybe people liked to watch it because it was a different world. It touched the adventurous side of people and their dreamer side as well. It certaintly did inspire people so much that they asked NASA to name one of their space shuttles the enterprise after the ship in Star Trek. I could connect to those who watched this show for those reasons because I also have a show of my own that inspires me.
The show that has a special place in my heart is How I Met Your Mother. One wouldn't think that this would be the show to inspire and one that I go to during tough times in life but it is. Even though it is more of a comedy the show deals with many real life issues. This show inspired me to live in New York and that is what I plan to do one day. In my opinion the best shows and movies are the ones that move you, inspire, and just make you feel something powerful. How I Met Your Mother greatly affected my life. I know the kind of person I wish to be from this show. I know the kind of relationship I want and the kind of life I want to live. Ted is a complete hopeless romantic and when things weren't going that great for me in that part of my life I would look to Ted and could not help but to get inspired by his perseverance. Lily and Marshall were a great example of relationships and the kind that I would like to have. Barney was a good example of having fun and just not to stress out so much and enjoy life. Robin was a good example of a hard working women striving for her dreams.
And together they were perfect and were an inspiration of friendship and living a great life.
To this day I watch episodes when I feel like I need a pick me up and some inspiration. I cannot help but smile when watching it. It is strange to think that this show, this picture on a screen, that is not real life and was thought up in someones mind can affect me and other people so much. I sometimes meet people who love the show as well and we could talk for hours of the things we learned from it, the laughs we got our favorite episodes and so on. When people love How I Met Your Mother like I do, I can connect to them so much easier. Television shows and movies can change peoples lives and its amazing to think about the reach that they have. Even across countries. This show is one of the most important things to me. How I Met Your Mother is my life show.
