How I Met Your Mother May Extend Past Meeting the Mother
Fans of How I Met Your Mother have wondered if the series finale would show how Ted finally meets the mysterious mother, or if we’d get to see them date for a bit and see their relationship blossom. Even creators/executive producers Carter Bays and Craig Thomas weren’t entirely sure. read more

In the time since the How I Met Your Mother writers decided to drop the shocking revelation that Robin was pregnant, the effect has worn off. In my review of “The Rebound Girl” which aired on Nov. 21, I discussed how crazy this news actually was. I must have forgotten that way back in some of the earlier episodes Future Ted tells his children that Robin doesn’t have children; so either it’s a false pregnancy, or something sad happens. All of this leads us right into this week’s episode. read more

If you haven’t heard about what happened on this week’s How I Met Your Mother do not read any further. Normally I like to recap and make observations about what worked and what didn’t work but still manage to keep the jokes and plot twists somewhat hidden, but this week has left me no choice but to discuss the spoiler ending. The writers have done a great job with balancing the comedy (which all sitcoms must have, right?) and the drama. You’re wrong if you say drama shouldn't be in a comedic series. All great series have some sort of dramatic elements. This season promised there would be a shift in the characters lives, and boy is there. read more

Last week I predicted that the next episode of How I Met Your Mother would be one of the most important episodes not only of this season, but of the entire series. The Ted-Robin-Barney triangle has already been hinted as a catalyst for this season and “Tick, Tick, Tick ” was a giant step on every level. read more

Remember when the Super Bowl halftime show was worth watching? It used to be fun and exciting, but Justin Timberlake had to go and rip Janet Jackson’s shirt off and famously expose her breast. Well, we’re not the only ones who have had to suffer. CBS, the network that carried the NFL game in 2004, was sued by the FCC over the incident. read more

There was a lot of build up for last night’s episode of How I Met Your Mother. Not with promos dedicated to a fake out revelation of who the mother is actually going to be. Instead the writers decided to take us back to the first season’s Halloween episode where Ted longingly awaits a girl who dressed as a slutty pumpkin way back in 2001. read more

Found in: TV, NewsHow I Met Your Mother Review: "Noretta" (Episode 7.07)
Some of the best How I Met Your Mother episodes are the ones that show us flashbacks from before 2005 (season one) or that explore the past of the characters’ lives. Think about the episode where Ted tells Blah-Blah how he met everyone else in the gang or the flashbacks from when Barney thought Bob Barker was his father. Of course the Robin Sparkles episodes are top of the line, but there are some that aren’t as instantaneously memorable, but when it comes on syndication you’ll instantly remember every joke. “Noretta” will be one of those episodes where it’s funny now and then will go in remission until one day you realize the genius behind it. read more
