Don't deprive me of this, CBS. The world needs to know Greta Gerwig's name.

Maybe China can buy the show & it can be China exclusive

 

[Sawyer]

**** China. They don't get to ban Big Bang Theory AND get this too. They can't get all the good stuff.

Quick #HIMYD update: No series order yet. @HimymCraig and I have asked CBS for a trial by combat.

Funny or Die needs to do a spoof How I Met Your Sister/Cousin/Uncle

 

[Prison Mike]

Looks like show did not make the CBS line up. I'm sure another network will pick it up.

 

[Donut]

That is awesome. If only for the fact that Sawyer is gonna be pissed

 

[Sawyer]

It honestly just feels like CBS is trolling, and despite what they might claim, I'm betting it is entirely cash motivated.

Considering how big a deal was made about HIMYM's syndication deal on FX all those years back, I wonder if that might be a good place for it to go. FX might even be inclined to let the writers get away with certain things they couldn't on CBS.

If this show does get picked up by someone, who is going to start the poll as to how the Father will die in the final episode?

A meteor the size of over 9,000 Earths hits & kills everybody

They already ended Community that way, need to come up with something better than that..

Every single human on earth dies just randomly. But there is one man left. Nic Cage & he clones himself. So Earth becomes Planet Cage

Seems like cbs wanted to "retool" the pilot but without a guaranteed series order, the HIMYD producers/studio said no...

 

[Donut]

They lost their right for unquestionable free roaming & do what they want with this after that finale & CBS seems to agree

Since when is HIMYM on FX? I see it on 3 other channels, but never on FX

 

[Prison Mike]

It's on FX all the time.

Article is a month old and is stuff we already knew, mainly because it's only focused on CBS.

I just saw it though. I can't help it if 'Variety' likes to post month old articles on my Facebook feed like a confused senior citizen. Don't be hatin' just because it reminds you of your sadness.

 

[Sawyer]

Remind me? You ARE my sadness!

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

I sometimes wonder why you haven't killed me yet.

Shhhh....

You're not Hannibal as much as you may wish you were.

 

[Sawyer]

What a terribly discourteous thing to say.
