    Amazing.

    I usually don't find many different actresses that funny. In fact most actresses I claim of being "funny" really are more "goofy" than "funny". And I didn't like Alyson's character for two episodes on my previous favorite show, That '70s Show, but as I have continued to watch How I Met Your Mother, my eyes have been opened. Alyson Hannigan is an amazing actress, funny too, and don't forget beautiful. She does have that "goofiness" attribute as well, but in a definite good way. I'm sorry I ever doubted her just because of her character as Sally the police officer in two episodes of That '70s Show.

    great actress with a good sense of humor anda hot red head. hide show

    great actress with a good sense of humor. she was brilliant as Willow in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I liked how her character grew into something more than just a friend of Buffy. She played the nerd and went on to play a really good role as one of the sexy lesbians i think that is a role that got here noticed. looking back now there is only one person to play Willow character and she was great at it. she is the crazy Michelle from "American Pie" trilogy with the catchphrase "This one time, at the band camp...", freaking love this movie. she is hilarious Lily from "How I Met Your Mother" love that show to. She needs to get here own show

    it's just impossible not to love Aly! hide show

    well, for sure the first thing that comes in mind: she was brilliant as Willow in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" -- she made me smile or cry in almost every her scene, and the way she portrayed her character... it's hard to believe that we could have some other Willow!

    but Willow is not the only reason to love Alyson Hannigan: she is the cutie kid from "My Stepmother is an Alien", she is the crazy Michelle from "American Pie" thrilogy with the catchphrase "This one time, at the band camp...", she is hilarious Lily from "How I Met Your Mother", and she's so much more -- nice, cute, awesome person.

    sometimes you feel like you know her but then she surprises you with smth and you start admire her even more, though you think "more" is impossible! few days ago I watched "Beyond the City Limits" -- and the character Aly played there was SOOO not her. and I liked it SOOO much (even though the movie didn't impress me). I wish we had the opportunity to see her on screen more often.
