I'm not a fan, I guess you could say, of Ted's stories where he met a girlfriend that we know didn't become the mother for obvious reasons, and we all have our mistakes, but this one was silly.
I found each one of Ted's friends watching Maggie to become tiresome. It trickled from Lily & Marshall "watching her" to Robin and then Barney. As a college professor, Ted forgetting he had a class was kind of silly. Me personally, I don't care how hot a girl is but when she asked him if she wanted him to go to the class, and she answered with a snark-filled no, that would've been a major turnoff to me. Ted is an architect. If she couldn't go with him to cancel the class, then forget it.
None of the jokes were funny really in this one. Even barney with the overalls was kind of lame and the arc with The Maggie "I did become those things" was distressing. How is that supposed to be funny? As the show was running along, I was getting kind of irritated because this episode basically boiled down to Ted and that other guy fighting over the cute red head for 22 minutes so some other guy could win? Then they give their back story? Who cares?
