The comedy is the closest TV has to a modern-day "Friends." It started at a time, in 2005, when networks were desperate to replace that beloved NBC series and the namesake gimmick distinguished it from other wanna-bes. The series opened with kids on a couch impatiently listening to narrator Bob Saget, as Ted circa 2030, explains how their parents met. (AP Photo/CBS, Monty Brinton)
