I loved Off Center when it was on. Then I downloaded it and watched it over and over. I had never seen this pilot until today. Eddie Kaye Thomas is hands down the better Mike. He's more interesting and a great physical comic. I wish this was in syndication instead of that NPH piece of tired crap. These guys (including Chow and Status Quo) are a hilarious ensemble. Huge fan. Can't get enough. Eddie's good on Scorpion but he doesn't really get to flex his comic muscles as much. I also liked him on that other sit com with Brad Garrett. And John Cho also a comic genius. Duh.
Its weird how they didnt use the scenes without Mike on this episode in the final first episode. The scenes are the same only with different clothes on some actors
I've never seen this. I'm so used to see Eddie kaye Thomas so it feels odd to see Josh Radnor as Mike. He is not as bad as some say... and his appearance with the girlfriend Liz looks better... although Eddie Kaye Thomas being a funny looking guy is part of the comedy.... ......After seeing this more than 3 times, I am starting to like this version. It kinda grows on you. But the super model does not look like a super model in this version.
I can see why they recast Mike. This guy isn't as funny as Eddie Kay Thomas who ended up playing the role. Eddie and Sean Maguire had great chemistry and were a better contrast. If you watched this first, definitely give the show another chance and watch the episodes that were broadcast.

I am speechless that I've discovered THIS today. It feels like a parallel universe
I know how you feel I just found this show as well and I'm like where was I when this was on the aire lol
All I see is Ted. Kinda glad he didn’t get the gig.
How i met off centre
I like how he’s basically still Ted Mosby in this show and instead of Barney, he has Euan.
I see Barry Allen has been through this timeline.
I love Ted Mosby as Ted Mosby but here Mike makes a better Mike than Ted's Mike
Maybe if they kept him, they would have lasted longer than a season and half

Woah, Euan rode the 4-wheeler!
This British guy is like Barney
That is Robin Hood from once upon a time
His name is Sean maguire
This Mike is good but Eddie looks goofier (the way it is supposed to be). In this episode i cannot feel the contrast between Ewan and Mike.
Not a good Mike....best Ted Mosby ever!
What if Ted mozbi carry on that show.... omg 💖
Nah, was too bad in this one
Sean maguire is funny in this show
Can’t believe Josh Radnor was originally cast as Mike. You can definitely tell though that he wasn’t right for the role.
why did the writer changed the actor?
Sean maguire is Robin Hood on once upon a time
Euan and rapper status quo starred in eve
Ted Mosby, Not an Architect!
Ted?

We found another room 😆
I have never seen it

I was just sitting here thinking how I probably wouldn’t like this without Josh Radnor. But I will at least give the pilot that aired a chance
HIMYM Alpha :P
Sorry but this is wayyyyyyy bettttter!!! thanks for sharing!
22:59 hahahaha just epic! for sure the reason himym exist.
14:55. i am in love.
Ya with this guy kindve to much of a himym vibe
Really weird to watch this show with this different Mike actor. The cringe is real. Eddie Kaye Thomas is so much better and funnier.
hexagon523 yeah, not sure whatever happened to the actor who played Mike in this episode. I hope things worked out for him.
he went on to do one of the most iconic sitcoms ever called How I Met Your Mother (that ran for 9 seasons) so i'd say he did quite well
Claire Do not so great at picking up on sarcasm are you?
HIMYM is not iconic. It will not even be remotely relevant like Seinfeld or Friends is in 15-20 years.
This Mike is better. The other one can't act and is too young.
+David Sukenick the one you mean is now in Scorpion and is good actor
Dario Jovicic I never saw the show.
exactly
***** I think he was OK.
i hope you change your mind since then because saying eddie can't act is literally the worst lie ever i'm sorry 😭
