How I Met Your Mother Renewed For TWO More Seasons

This is great news. I can never have enough HIMYM, but I'm hoping they don't hold off on revealing the mother until the end of this two years. :shifty:
 
I lost interest towards the end of Season 4 and haven't watched any since. I would like to continue, but I feel like they need to stop dicking around with the premise.
 
This is great news. One of the VERY few sitcoms on TV that is any good, and I've gotten into it a lot more recently.
 
HOORAY!!! :D

I do want them to show the Mother soon though. We need at least a full season of her. It can't end just with meeting her... it had to end with them formalizing their relationship. We have to see why she's so wonderful in practice not in theory.
 
I love HIMYM and this is great news! The current season is amazing.
Two season renewal is interesting considering it was on the bubble for like first 3 seasons ...
 
I bet they'll never actually have him meet their mother. The last episode will end with him getting interrupted before he can finish his story.
 
I've not watched the show in a couple of seasons but have followed what has gone on...I would like it if we get to see who the Mom is. I'd like a season of her being introduced to Ted, him courting her, etc. Are there any fan theories to who she might be yet? Or has it been too vague to guess?

They keep giving hints, and a few of the theories have now been shot down, but no - it doesn't seem to be anyone that Ted has directly met yet. There's a How I Met Your Mother wiki article about The Mother with all the clues, potential mothers, et al. at this link.
 
Great news. I love the show, although the first three seasons were better. Still, it's creative and fun. The theme of the mother is a bit annoying, but the show does have much more going for it.
 
I love the show, but I'm not happy with this news. I don't want this dragged out for two more years. I was hoping that this year or the next would be the last. And I think it will end with Ted meeting the mother. It has to. That's what everything is building up to. If they do introduce her earlier, I can see them doing some twist where we don't find out until the end that whoever they brought in was the mother all along.
 
I hate this show.

I really hope they go "After these two seasons the show will be ending", it will be the 7th season? That's a good time to end it. You can't drag it out forever, I mean it's already pretty ridiculous how long the story of how I met your mother is. Plus I REALLY hate NPH character on the show, but that shows just how great of an actor he is because in interviews he is awesome.
 
This is the best sitcom on TV and it's really good news that it got two more years. I think they need to call it a day after that though. If they can somehow keep the quality up for two more years there's no way they can keep going much past that. 8 seasons sounds like plenty of HIMYM to me.

I agree. I like the show; it's the only sitcom I watch on a regular basis. But it's really running out of ideas--particularly with Barney and Robin; there's not a lot more they can with them. Plus, let's face it, Ted is the least interesting person on the show. They need to really shake things up if they are going to do two more years.
 
If I recall correctly, the extension was a foregone conclusion--the syndication contract they signed a couple of years back manadated they make at least eight seasons. This is just CBS fulfilling a contract.

Also, if I recall correctly, the creators have said Ted will meet the mother in the Season 6 finale. Odds are she will either hate him at first, or Ted will meet a dozen women and the spend the final two seasons narrowing his options down.
 
Wait, wait, wait... so the premise is that Bob Saget's been telling his Kids "Hey, kids, sit down while I tell you this simple story of how I met your mother."

And all this time, for 5 seasons worth of episodes, he hasn't even told them how they met?

They really gave zero thought to this premise as an 'ongoing'.

If I was his kid, I would have punched him by the 4th hour of him still not getting to the point.
 
Given the kids' age in 2030, Ted will need to hook up with the Mother really soon.

It's a sitcom. :vulcan: These shows don't do things realistically.

In real life, most fathers would tell their kids in five minutes unless they don't remember.
