Scrubs
ABC

Scrubs

If Ted is your dream man, meet J.D. This hospital-set show explored love, friendship, and growing into an adult in the funniest way. Plus, Stella (Sarah Chalke) is a lead here in one of her best roles.

The League
FX

The League

If your favorite part of HIMYM is the male camaraderie (particularly the slap bet and the man-on-man razzing), check out The League. There's more testosterone in The League, but don't you need that after watching Ted fall in love so many times?

New Girl
Fox

New Girl

New Girl is the next best thing to How I Met Your Mother when it comes to guy/girl friendships that are full of hilarity. And like HIMYM, it rings true when the girls and guys can't exactly stay platonic.

Watch it now.

30 Rock
NBC

30 Rock

If what you like about HIMYM is the goofy ensemble, it doesn't get any goofier than 30 Rock. It comes close to matching the amount of running gags, too.

Watch it now.

That '70s Show
Fox

That '70s Show
