A few years back I actually was having this conversation with my best friend about our dispute over season 5. So it made me do a score ranking for each episode and then an average score for the season. This allowed me to determine my favorite seasons as follows:

Season 3
Season 4
Season 1
Season 8
Season 2
Season 7
Season 5
Season 6
Season 9

In some cases these are my favorites of the season, but not necessarily the ones I scored the highest.

Season 3 - Slapsgiving, The Bracket, How I Met Everyone Else, No Tomorrow, Miracles, and Sandcastles in the Sand

Season 4 - 3 Days of Snow, The Possimpble, The Naked Man, As Fast as She Can, The Leap

Season 1 - The Limo, The Pineapple Incident, Drumroll Please, The Pilot, Nothing Good After 2 A.M.

Season 8 - Time Travelers, The PreNup, The Autumn of Break Ups, Bad Crazy, Something New

Season 2 - Ted Mosby Architect, Slap Bet, Arrivederci Fiero, Atlantic City, Single Stamina

Season 7 - Tailgate, Trilogy Time, Good Crazy, The Best Man, The Naked Truth

Season 5 - Slapsgiving 2, Robin 101, The Playbook, Jenkins, Say Cheese

Season 6 - Glitter, Blitzgiving, Last Words, Bad News, Oh Honey

Season 9 - How Your Mother Met Me, Rally, Sunrise, Unpause, Gary Blauman

Best Burger in New York is one of my favorites, but I can never watch it unless I've already had food. Because it makes me start craving a burger from one of my favorite spots in town. I have to say when I initially ranked my seasons for my discussion with my friend. I forgot how much I really had enjoyed Season 4. I had until that project assumed rightly that season 3 was my favorite, but I thought I liked season 2 more than I did. My composite score for season 8 surprised me as I didn't remember enjoying that season that much, but I scored most of those episodes 3 out 5 or higher. But, in terms of re-watch.

I think I still watch 1-4 more than all the other seasons. combined. I always seem to catch season 5 the most naturally in syndication when I'm flipping channels at night or on my lunch break. I don't really watch 7-9 that often. And really with season 9, I just go to youtube and watch the Tracy clips. We only got her for one season, but I think I'm going to have a crush on Cristin Milioti forever.
