Where is maclarens bar

The bar itself it out of sight to our right, and some other booths are along a wall to our left, not visible in this typical view. A version of the mural is infrequently seen on that wall to our left, but it's not a common part of the show.

The pictures above and below let you compare what you see on the show to the original mural, the reason for basing MacLaren's on McGees. It's on the ground floor, on the wall opposite the bar. So, in a way, it is placed as it infrequently appears on the show. The view from the very back of the front room of McGee's. It's the studio's "New York back lot".

Narrower streets, short blocks, and not the rectangular "Manhattan grid" of Midtown. They are much more the size and atmosphere depicted on the show. A New Yorker profile of sitcom creator Chuck Lorre discussed how most situation comedies have been done as "three-camera" productions. As that article describes it, they're almost like a play that is filmed video recorded from multiple simultaneous camera viewpoints, often with an audience. The resulting video streams and audio track are edited into a final product.

How I Met Your Mother is one of an increasing trend of "single camera" production, which is much more like the production of a movie. They take about three days to record a typical episode, each with 50 or more scenes and rapid transitions. The framing device is that its main character is telling his children in the year about how he met his mother some time in the s.

Then, within that past-tense narrative, the characters often tell each other a story about how something happened. All of the characters are unreliable narrators, at times accidentally and at other times intentionally, meaning that a character's narration in our present twenty years or more in the past for the ultimate narrator's children may be immediately corrected by another character.

Within the show we then see two or more contradicting versions of the same flashback. If you think that's confusing, try figuring out the Humphrey Bogart movie "Passage to Marseille". That entire movie is a flashback, inside a narrative flashback, inside a narrative frame. Co-creator Craig Thomas said that it would be impossible to shoot the series in front of a live audience as it would "blur the line between 'audience' and 'hostage situation'.
