How I Met Your Father
The How I Met Your Mother format restaged, with the same framing device and fifteen seconds of titles.
How I Met Your Father opens with a main title sequence of 15 seconds.
At 15 seconds, it opens well under the 38-second median for comedy sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on Hulu in 2022, when The Handmaid's Tale, The Orville and Ramy were also on the network.
