One of the best (not best) jokes I’ve ever read on Twitter was when someone, apropos of nothing, tweeted: “So when are we ever going to find out how he met their mother?” LOL. LOOOOOOOOOL. What I liked about it was how it was like everyone was thinking it, but this guy was the only one who said it. Haha, ugh. Ugh to me. The amount that I think about and hate that tweet is definitely wrong and I don’t remember who tweeted it but I’m sorry if it was you. But the point I’m getting to is that I didn’t realize that meeting the mom on that show was a real thing? I’ve never seen it, which is my first problem, but I thought that was just the name. It turns out it’s also the frame story! You learn something new that I’m sure everyone else knows every day. Anyway, in a panel discussion at the Television Critics Association co-creator Carter Bays revealed that the show — currently in its 7th season — may not conclude for a while. From Deadline:
We totally might want to go beyond Season 8. Obviously, it won’t just be our call. It will also be about what our actors want and of course what CBS wants. But right now the network is delighted with the numbers we’re getting. If everyone’s game to go beyond Season 8, it will be a matter of how much story is left. We have that big ending planned, and we know how we need to get the characters in place to make it there.
Aarrrrggggh, BUT WE NEED TO KNOW HOW HE MET THE MOTHER! Is there any HIMYM ending speculative fan fiction out there? Have you guys ever written any for yourselves? I know I somehow just heard about this now, but knowing that there IS an ending already planned I really can’t wait until like 2015 to find out. Did he meet her through a mutual friend? Did they go to college together? Were they both late for a flight? GUYS! WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH THIS SHOW? WHY CAN’T THEY JUST TELL US?! (Via Pajiba)

“Seasons 9 and 10 are definitely my favorite.” – nobody about anything, ever
I don’t know. Season 9 and 10 of Bonanza are pretty choice.
And that’s why you always start at season 4
At the moment, seasons 9 and 10 of How I Met Your Mother are the best yet…. unless they get made.
(Also sorry, That One, but South Park Seasons 9 or 10, if you’re into that sort of thing…probably my favourite.)
Are you sure about that? Or have you just been brainwashed into believing that?
I accidentally started reading the EW boards about this one night a few months ago and it depressed the hell out of me. Half the people were speculating that it was Robin… or that she’s a surrogate or some other nonsense.
My point is that it made me really appreciate you guys.
I know very little about this show. But I DO know that Ted dated the mother’s roommate Summer Roberts a long time before he actually met the mother. Which means that there is no possible way Robin was the mother, unless she had a secret roommate that none of her best friends knew about. And if you’re posting on a board dedicated to the show, you should really know what you’re talking about. Come on, EW board posters, get your shit together!
Exactly. Also, I was really hoping he was going to marry Summer Roberts but lo and behold… she likes ladies.
plus Ted always refers to her as “your aunt Robin” when he’s talking to the kids.
Spoiler alert:

So you’re confirming that Ted’s future with is much older than him, albeit they think the same way?
Where is Tony Paker? S/he must have something to say about this.
He met her through the adoption agency, but the contract clearly stated that only she could decide if she wanted the children to know her identity.
Is it wrong that I now feel compelled to write speculative HIMYM fan fiction? Because I am. And spoiler alert: there is a very good chance SWINTON will feature, though to what extent I am undecided. And it is also likely that someone will shout “INSEMINATE ME.”
I apologize for nothing.
They haven’t even done the time travel season yet, so yeah, we’ve got a ways to go.
Or the Groundhog’s Day episode.
I think they met on HOT or NOT.
The thing is: Nobody cares anymore. People stopped caring when the show turned into Barney’s Bimbo Bingo around season five or so.
i dont get why people are surprised or pissed about this. don’t they realize the end-game isn’t necessarily the point?
But where DID that polar bear come from?
The name of this show is “How I Met You Mother?” I thought it was “How I Met You Otter,” and I’ve been waiting eight years for the show to make even one otter joke. Thank god, I thought I was going mad.
You otter be pretty embarassed about that.
You otter read more carefully
::bows::
Otter boner!
Sooner or later, someone is going to be searching the internet for “otter boners” and be very disappointed to find this thread.
Weird, guys. I was searching Otter Boners on Google and found this thread.
Who cares? Ted is the worst.
i have friends who absolutely love this show, which i don’t really understand. It’s not a terrible show, fine to watch here and there, but i don’t see why you would follow it. It actually does bother me about the mother thing, since its the premise of the whole show. At this point it’s just gotten boring.
I agree with this, and I was a fan of the show for much longer than I should have been. I actually watched the first 8 or 9 episodes of the newest season, but it was only out of some weird imagined obligation. The first 2 or 3 seasons were great, IMO, but then when they got away from the premise of the show (WHICH IS IN THE FUCKING TITLE), it started going off the rails. It’s basically Friends 2.0 now.
“It’s basically Friends 2.0 now.” A horrible thing to say about any show. But chances are pretty much 100% it’ll end up as a blurb on the cover of the next DVD release of this show.
I read your comment with Charlie Brown’s voice in my head and I’m still chuckling.
Not only has it taken his dad 8 years to tell a story that should’ve take 2 minutes, but his parents are already divorced by now…
When are we going to find out if Chelsea is there?
It’s been 7 years and Ted still hasn’t begun to sound like Bob Saget yet.
I can’t wait until he has to tell them how their mother died, and he had to ask two other guys to come live with him and help take care of the kids.
The way the series should end is in the last 30 seconds of the last episode, he is just standing next to a lady waiting for the bus and he says, hi how’s it going? And then it ends.
Nailed it.
And then the sound of a gunshot.
SPOILER ALERT: Marshall dies (very, very sad) and then Ted marries WillowLily and raises their kids. The last moment of the series turns the camera from the kids to Bob Saget where he says, “I’m not your father.”
