Its kind of amazing how big of a phenomenon that show was while it was airing, and then it seems to have totally left the discussion afterwards.

That's solely because of the finale.

They fucked up and fucked up the syndication money with that finale.

The whole final season was kinda meh tbh

it had some great moments like Barneys job finally being revealed and anything with Tracy but overall it was shit.

I didn't even watch the show(beyond an episode here or there) but I heard the finale was absolutely shit. And having finally seen it, damn. I can't believe they dropped the ball THAT hard. It really was absolute shit.

Destroyed seasons of character development, undelivered promises, retcons, etc.

I get that they filmed the final scenes ages ago so it was all planned out but youd think that after several years of Ted getting back with Robin and it not working out every time and the fans hating their relationship with a passion theyd have just scrapped it and gone with something else

Like the alternate ending that was 10000000000000x better and fuck them for just making it a DVD extra

Honestly even when watching it I felt it took a big step down about halfway through when the mystery future timeline they were building towards was Barney and Robin's wedding. The first few seasons had something it was building towards. Then the next 4 seasons it was building towards that wedding. It's when I felt it started to miss a step. But the ending was just the final bit that made me not want to revisit it again.

Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.

The crazy thing was they basically built the Mother up so much that it was almost impossible for them to get her to be as likeable as people would have expected. And then somehow, they did. She was lauded and everyone loved her.

And then they turn around and *spoilers*

Kill her and have Ted go back to Robin.

And it just was so stupid and horribly done.

Yeah, having the foresight(I read about the ending and saw it before a lot of the other stuff) helped me enjoy stuff a lot more.

I'm honestly shocked that they threw away a normal, happy ending all for one that anyone could tell you would absolutely flop.

The last season and especially the final episode is what completely fucked that show. People loved it and then that last episode just erased all that good will.

No one liked Ted and Robin together after it failed so many times, and having him go back at the end was just a wow who is the idiot who wrote this garbage ?

That and how they decided to fuck Barney in the worst way after he grew as a person.

theyd probably have to cut a couple of scenes from earlier in the season that foreshadowed her death though

The alt ending is 100 times better then the stupid shit they went with, and that there was a better ending is what really pissed people off.

It shows they just wanted to subvert expectations or some stupid shit and it back fired hilariously.

I was a big fan of the show and liked that a lot of the characters have flaws. The final season is just bad though, and the final episode is unfortunate.

the actual ending makes sense if you watch the show again with the knowledge of what happens in the finale, you can see them clearly setting it up from way back.

the real problem with HIMYM is that it went on too long. the creators obviously didnt expect it to last 9 seasons so as it went on, character arcs went all over the place as the show evolved

It might make sense, but it doesn't make it good. And they had already planned a contingency in the first season for Victoria to be the mother instead if they were cancelled. By the time season 9 rolled around they shoulda realized the Robin Ted crap was burned all the way through and changed course. Instead they dug their head in the sand and stuck with what turned out to be a disaster of a finale.

The funny thing is, IIRC this basically cost them the other show they were planning too. How I Met Your Father? After the backlash from the finale, the show was never picked up.

Yeah, but they had multiple episodes - even the weird balloon episode in the last season - that try to explicitly establish that he and Robin are 100% done. It was set up early on, but they went out of their way several times to tell us that he was never going to get with Robin right until the very end.

Yes I shake my head and laugh that their shitty ending not only fucked them for syndication but it killed the other show. Imagine being the jackass who was the deciding vote or approved the canon ending and then all the backlash that caused the other show to not even have a chance.

HIMYF was the same idea almost but had they not fucked up on the original show the second show might still be on now.

I would venture to guess they would have at least had a chance to be picked up.

People probably would have wanted another show like HIMYM if they had ended it with the alternate ending which would have made fans happy.

No one was willing to give the second show the time of day however with the ending they went with. In 2017 they were still trying to get the 2nd show off the ground for a 3rd time but no one is interested.

That is a long time post the first show ending yet still no one is willing to give it a chance after that betrayal and fuckery.

Part of it is because the Barney Stinson character was cool in the 2000s, but not so much now.

also the ending sucked.

this has nothing to do with the wedding
