so..that How I Met Your Mother show is over

[davos]

I didn't know how many here watch it or have seen some episodes but it had it's finale.  I kinda forced myself through a lot of it in the later seasons but always thought it was an enjoyable somewhat corny show.  

 

 

Spoilers:

 

 

You find out the main character is telling the story all along in order to get his kid's approval to date the Robin chick 6 years after their mom died.

 

So basically, the story arc from the first episode that you think is a puzzle piece to meet the mother is actually the overarching storyline of the series with Ted & Robin getting together in 2030.

 

 

NPH/Barney and Robin wed & divorce, he has a kid from a one-night stand, the main character and mother date and have 2 kids before getting married (this takes 5 years).  After 7 more, she dies....6 after that is him telling the story to the kids thinking about getting back with Robin which he does (the full cusack)

 

 

Pretty different for a sitcom ending.

Thanks, I haven't watched that in years and was wondering how it all tied together.

That wrapped it up well.

I figured there were many like this haha.  The later seasons were pretty rough to watch at times.

It seems a lot of the intense fans of the show are mad but it made sense.  And it actually made the whole reason he's telling the story meaningful in a funny way.  

 

This is pretty much Ted Mosby: "I'm not telling this story to be sentimental, I'm telling it to see if you're cool with me dating your aunt."  

 

The kids are like "Just do it already! We're fine with it, Mom's been dead for 6 years, it's all good"

 

And he's like..."to the blue french horn!"

 

/Series end

Completely underwhelmed, much like the last few seasons but we were all just finishing out the string.  Much preferred the Psych series finale.

Haven't watched this show in years, I could see how that ending would leave people dissatisfied think it would have played better if they didn't keep the show around for 9 years with 200+ episodes.

Even had a reference to Monk. They are talking about doing Psych movies for TV I would think, but you never know with these fools.

[Johnny Rockets]

So did they reveal who the Yellow King was....oh wait, wrong show.

[Cary Kollins]

My fiance had never seen one episode and happened to watch the finale...she cried for 30 minutes afterwards.

It was an enjoyable show but I remember watching it last night and realizing that it was it's time to take a bow. It got reptitive in a lot of areas. The ending was kind of predictable.

True, and that's why it's gone. It did well to last as long as it did. This last season was ok but the one before was blah, glad it got a chance to wrap it all up.

Good ending. Apparently they wrote that ending 9 years ago when they wrote the pilot so good job to them for sticking to it. It was never about the mother.

That was freaking awesome
