Noooooo not time to say good bye! I think they easily made a tenth season out of it. I’m really going to miss it. It an end of era which I don’t want to end. PLEASE!!
Cancel! Ugh! So tired of this one.
I guess it was time to say good bye. I remember years back, “That 70s Show” ran it’s course but for some reason Fox decided to bring it back with some of it’s core characters gone. It was a disaster! So bad in fact, it tainted the earlier good episodes. I may not be completely happy with the way HIMYM ended, but it remained true to it’s message and maintained it’s sense of purity.
Kids… hold on for just a few more weeks and I’ll get to the part where I met your mother. Then you can take a bathroom break.
I think it is nice to see a series and its story come to its natural conclusion while its ratings/viewership are still high. It’s probably a good thing, because, out of respect for the story, a 10th season of “How I Met Your Mother” would have been overkill, IMHO.
The reality is, whether anyone commenting on this site wants a certain long-running scripted TV show to end or not, no scripted TV show can really run forever.
That is what I was trying to say. It needs to go out on a high. Maybe a spin off.
This show should have ended a long time ago. With some titles the show can only so long before it becomes ridiculous. I stopped watching a few seasons ago. Nothing was really new and got tired of the story how he met the mother of kids that are not part of the show. I may watch the last few episodes just to see who it is
How can you judge a show you don’t even watch????
If you did watch it, you would have found out who the mother was on last season’s finale. She will be a big part of the episodes this season, and is now a member of the regular cast.
I watched it for many seasons but it was in my opinion and others that I know who gave up on it too, it became boring. Some of the best shows need to end at some point to go out on top.
I guess I’ll take your lead and start voicing my opinions on shows I don’t watch. After all, actually watching a show before judging it is apparently no longer important.
All shows change over time, hopefully for the better, sometimes for the worst. If you haven’t watched a show for several seasons, it’s pretty damned dumb to voice an opinion of the current season without having seen it. Do you live your life making all your decisions on old and out of date facts? Sheesh!
Still a Great show. The ratings are really strong for a show in its 9th year. It was the highest rated show of CBS’s Monday night lineup
