Tales all the way

 

[Y2Jayne]

Tales

HIMYM was fun at first but the last seasons were painful to see.

 

[Keith]

Voted Tales just because it appeals a bit more to me, but HIMYM is a very solid sitcom.

 

[Cwalker]

Grew up on Tales

But HIMYM low key is one of my favorite sitcoms ever

 

[Jimmy King]

Like both but I went HIMYM.

Crypt Keeper gave me nightmares when I was a kid.
