How I Met Your Mother Season 1 Episode 1 - "Pilot"

"Pilot" is the first episode of the television series How I Met Your Mother. It originally aired on September 19, 2005. The episode was written by Carter Bays & Craig Thomas and directed by Pamela Fryman.

The episode (and series) begins in 2030 with an older Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) telling his children the story of how he met their mother. The story begins in 2005, with Ted's best friend and roommate Marshall Eriksen (Jason Segel) proposing to his girlfriend Lily Aldrin (Alyson Hannigan), prompting Ted to begin a search to find his own soulmate. At a pub called MacLarens, alongside his friend Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris), Ted meets budding news anchor Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders), with whom he is instantly smitten. Ted asks her out on a date, and the date is successful. The date concludes with Robin being called away for a news story.

Ted's friends tell him that he was supposed to kiss Robin before she left. Ted goes to Robin's house (“Suited up”, much to Barney's delight), with the company of Marshall, Lily and Barney. He stops at the restaurant of their first date and symbolically steals the blue French horn on the wall and continues on to Robin's apartment with the gang. Things are going great and they are about to kiss when Ted inexplicably and prematurely tells Robin that he loves her, thus destroying his chances with her. After a lingering goodbye, and with the afterthought that he may or may not have missed “the signal” (missing out for the second time on his first kiss with her), Future Ted tells his children that is the story of how he met their aunt Robin.
