How I Met Your Mother

Some of you have noticed / told us off for censoring parts of How I Met Your Mother. This is an issue that we have with all our US comedies that play pre-watershed, including Scrubs, My Name Is Earl and even Friends. These shows were originally made to play in a later slot, so have the occasional naughty bit that we simply can't play before 9pm.

Series 1-3 of How I Met Your Mother will continue to premiere at 7.30pm on weeknights, up until December. These shows are usually repeated in a later slot, and we'll try to always show you the unedited version in these instances.

From December, we'll start showing the forth series of How I Met Your Mother, which we'll be playing in a post 9pm slot, unedited.

    HIMYM once a week? We're seasons behind, we should be getting it daily - and unedited... It's a great show, and it's fresh, unlike the repeated episodes of Earl which are now taking up that slot. And what's with the trailer: "Ted is like Barney?" - "Barney is in love with Robin & best friends with Lily?"... really?

    Redicolous, HIMYM in america has there equivalent of a U rating, and to be honest the content is not rude, vulgar or cursive, I let my 10 yera old kid watch imported, unedited DVD's and I doubt anyone would have any problem with that.

    89bby.. i doubt they will be showing it at 9pm EVERYDAY! I think they will give it a 'once a week' slot like the other new primetime shows.
