My Leading Lady

Melanie Moretti/Valerie Bertinelle

One of the things I love about this show is that it has four great strong characters, so when I came to picking my favourite it was a difficult choice. But when it came down to it I couldn't help but go with Melanie. She has this innocence about her that is so endearing. Sometimes she comes across as naive but really its just her faith in the world and the people living in it. Its quite cute and refreshing to see a character who has lived their life in the real world and yet managed to not become jaded. I also admire the strength of the friendship she has with Joy and Victoria and the developing relationship with Elsa. She's such a sweet person you can;t help but love her.

How I Met Your Mother

I must admit I’ve never been an avid watcher of How I Met Your Mother but recently I’ve been catching a few episode and I’m beginning to understand what the fuss is all about. Now there are plenty of sitcoms out there about a group of friends. But HIMYM does have its own unique take on the genre. Its interesting to see these diverse group of friends interact. The happily married couple, the eternal womaniser, the sweet guy who wants to settle down and the somewhat unlucky Canadian. Each is at a different stage in their life and yet the dynamic of their group is somehow balanced. Another unique feature of the show is that your eternal waiting for the ultimate revelation. Just how did Ted meet the children’s mother?

Penny/ Kaley Cuoco

Okay I’m just going to say it, I love Penny. She actually reminds me of a beautiful version of myself, I was always that girl, the one who hangs out with the geeky boys. She doesn’t see them the way the rest of the world does, all she cares about is that they are great friends. That’s not to say she’s against making fun of them, because that’s what a good friendship relies on the ability to laugh at one another. She’s so nice and stunning to go with it. A great combination.

Friends

I can’t believe its taken me this long to get around to Friends. it’s a timeless classic that’s great no matter how old you are or what mood your in. Its one of the shows I grew up watching, and will probably continue to watch for many years to come. This group of individuals has the kind of friendship we all want. They each have their own lives but no matter what they’re always there for one another. What so great about Friends is that there is at least one aspect of a character that everyone can relate to. I know me and my friends aren’t the only ones who each had a friends we were paired with. Its impossible not to become attached to them as you watch their lives progress, jobs, marriages and babies. We were with them every step of the way.

I also wanted to include this photo just because I love it.
