How I Met Your Mother - Part 2

[sethypants]

Or they can switch him out with the story.

 

[Sawyer]

Jason Segel has said many times when his contract is up which is this season he is done. So this show can't go on more than this season

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[Clu]

Jason Segel seems like a guy who knows when to get out. the show has had 7 wonderful years going on to 8. You can see the ending of the series is coming up, it needs to happen already honestly. some things just don't need to be dragged on and on.

 

[MadVillainy]

I hope the end is soon. I like the show, even though from what I remember of the current season I didnt like it that much. But I guess they actually could go a few more seasons because Ted has his daughter by 2015

But as Clu said it doesnt really need to be dragged out any longer. And I pray they dont continue the show after Ted meets the mother.

 

[Artistsean]

Seagal has also said, in an interview, that eventually the actors are going to be too old for their roles. Meaning Ted is going to be too old to have met his wife, gotten married, and had two kids who are teenagers by 2015, if they don't get on that soon.

Oh, maybe they can end the show with Ted meeting his future wife, whenever they fee like it, and then he says to his kids "And thats How I met your mother... or thats how I would have met your mother. I never did get married." and the kids slowly fade away like ghosts because they weren't there and Ted was talking about the wife he wish he had. But never married. And the audience feels so depressed now...

 

[John Locke]

But they already did that with Robin.

 

[Prison Mike]

I just want to see an older Josh Radnor with Bob Saget's voice.

 

[KALEL114]

I just want to see an older Josh Radnor with Bob Saget's voice.

I have always wondered how that will work. Maybe it really is Bob Saget and he is playing the role of Ted in a TV show. Similar in how they did "The Wedding Bride".

 

[John Locke]

We have already seen an older Josh Radnor as Ted but it was his voice.

 

[KALEL114]

Yeah, there has to be some sort of twist. We know Josh will be narrating the Series Finale instead of Saget. Guess we will have to wait and see.

 

[Prison Mike]

the series finale will probably have Bob Saget's voice but then he coughs and Josh Radnor's voice is heard

He had a frog in his throat the whole time

 

[MadVillainy]

Lol I think I read that idea on here of IMDB before. Not gonna lie, I actually like it.

So are all their contracts up after this season or next?

How I Met Your Mother: 16 Spoilers (Including Intel on October's Big 'Relationship Bloodbath')
by Vlada Gelman

How I Met Your Mother launches its eighth season on Sept. 24 which, by our calculations, is roughly two months from now. To mark the occasion, we present you with 16 spoilers — two for each week you have to wait for fresh episodes — directly from series co-creator Craig Thomas and exec producer/director Pamela Fryman.

TVLINE | Do the Season 9 negotiations change any of your trajectory for Season 8?
CRAIG THOMAS | Yeah. [Laughs] It’s a really interesting situation because there’s a negotiation going on that could extend the show, for sure. But right now, the thing that we know to be true is we have this year and no deal for next year. So we have to proceed as though this could be the last year of HIMYM. Hopefully we will know soon. Basically, we couldn’t possibly know soon enough. But we’d be thrilled to tell either story – either wrap it up this year or to tell another chapter of this story. We don’t know yet which way it’s going to go.

TVLINE | If there is a ninth season, would that be the last season?
THOMAS | Who knows? We can’t guarantee anything. It’s not impossible it could go beyond Season 9.

TVLINE | When Season 8 starts up, where is Victoria and Ted’s relationship headed? She’s coming back for a multi-episode arc…
THOMAS | We’re in a funny predicament. [The premiere] begins with three couples we know are doomed: Barney and Quinn – Barney’s going to marry Robin – Victoria we’ve said is not the mother, and Robin has a new love interest that starts off the season too, played by Michael Trucco. But we know Robin’s going to end up marrying Barney. It’s cool to start with everybody coupled up, but it’s like a horror movie. We know all these people camping at Camp Crystal Lake are going to be killed by Jason in a hockey mask. There’s a fun feeling of doom to these three couples. We’re calling October, “Breakup Month.” This is the month where some stuff went crazy in these relationships. … But Victoria is around for a while. I don’t want to say what happens there and how that doesn’t work out, but we look at her very much this season. I think everybody has this in their life – the last door you have to close before you’re actually ready to move forward and meet the person you’re going to spend your life with.

TVLINE | Is Michael Trucco’s character the significant romance you mentioned before?
THOMAS | Yeah, that’s an arc. We said a couple years ago when they had a brief meeting this guy would come back around, and we’re finally at that point in the story.

TVLINE | Are Quinn and Barney in a good place when the season begins?
THOMAS | Yeah, they’re engaged in Episode 1. But we know they’re not going to get married. So it’s kind of an existential storytelling conundrum. We’ve shown everyone a lot of what the end is, and now it’s like, “Tune in for the exciting middle!” But of course, we can also get away with that because there’s also a couple huge surprises coming up about how the series will end.
PAMELA FRYMAN | The first episode of the season is going to be an incredibly exciting way to start. It’s going to give everybody a glimpse [of the future] again. I think everybody’s going to be satisfied.
THOMAS | We jump further forward in that future wedding day. … The glimpses of that future Barney/Robin wedding day have been really important to the story. We blow [everything] out of the water in Episode 1. We jump further into that day and show you more information deeper into that wedding day that I think will blow some people’s minds. It’s really, really exciting.
FRYMAN | It blew mine when I read it.
THOMAS | It’s the day Ted meets the mother. And we jump perilously deep into that day and show you some glimpses of some really huge stuff that’s happening. We jump to the end of that wedding day and show you something crazy.

TVLINE | Barney and Robin are both in relationships this season, but we know they get married. So is there a hint of them growing closer together this year?
THOMAS | Yeah. They couldn’t start further apart. Barney’s engaged to another woman, and Robin is just getting into a relationship with [Michael Trucco's character]. It’s fun. It’s a fun challenge. We like painting ourselves into impossible corners on How I Met Your Mother. How do you get those two characters together? They’re probably as far apart as they can possibly be. We will tell you that story. There’s going to be some relationship carnage to free them up to do that. It’s a bit of a relationship bloodbath in the first six episodes, and I hope in very entertaining way.

TVLINE | Will Marshall and Lily be separate from the group now that they have this big parenting challenge?
THOMAS | We’re going to tell a story figuring out, “Who’s our babysitter? Who’s our nanny? Who’s going to help us with this?” There’s a cool and meaningful answer to that question that we’ll see Marshall and Lily arrive at in the first few episodes. It will free them up to have at least the occasional beer with the gang. And the gang will consider [the baby] the sixth member of this group. It’s going to be very sweet.

TVLINE | Any chance we’ll get another Robin Sparkles installment?
THOMAS | [Co-creator] Carter [Bays] and I haven’t quite figured this out yet. We’re going to release the How I Met Your Mother soundtrack album! All the original music [on the show] will come out the day of our season premiere [on Sept. 24 on iTunes]. It’s like 20 tracks. It’s really cool. So it got me thinking again about Robin Sparkles.

 

[ImWithTeamConan]

So stoked that sounds great

 

[Pepsiguy2]

Robin Sparkles on CD? Count me in.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I wish they would just set an end game for who the mother is. Let it all be revealed this season and if they continue on for a 9th, then it can continue on from that point and we get to know the mother some more. But dont try to drag it on. An end game would be nice though for a last definate season.

 

[SpideyVille]

As much as I love this show, I think it just needs to end already. I don't want to see it end up like Smallville, where you know where the main characters ends up, but loses the focus on their journey just so they can keep the show running longer.

I feel like these past two seasons have had Ted as more of a supporting character as opposed to the lead since most of thew focus has been on the others, mainly Barney. Not that I don't enjoy those storylines, but they weren't the reason I got hooked on the show.

 

[jacobed]

As the show grew so did our love for all the characters thus they feel like they are able to branch out and create stories for them.

How I Met Your Mother Exclusive: True Blood's Joe Manganiello Back as Brad For Multi-Ep Arc

True Blood man-beast Joe Manganiello is making a return trip to How I Met Your Mother this fall.

TVLine has learned exclusively that the Magic Mike actor has signed on to reprise his role as Marshall’s law school chum Brad in two episodes of the CBS hitcom.

Viewers last saw Brad in Season 5 when he went on an awkward hockey-themed date with Robin. It’s unclear what brings him back into the fold, but last week HIMYM co-creator Craig Thomas told TVLine that the show’s eighth season would feature “a couple of familiar faces coming back,” including the previously reported Michael Trucco as Robin’s crush and Ashley Williams as Victoria.

“There’s going to be a few more [returnees] from deeper into the past as we near the end of the series,” he added. “Just funny people we always wanted to write for more and play with more.”

HIMYM returns with Season 8 on Sept. 24.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

YES! He's back!

 

[HighFivingMF]

Ugh. Only part of the show (besides Zoey) I genuinely hate.

 

[MadVillainy]

Nice to see him back
"Before we go any further, you should know something about my stuff below the belt...I was born a little different"

 

[Sawyer]

Pffft. Brad was awesome.

 

[HighFivingMF]

Pffft. Brad was awesome.

Not awesome enough to escape the awfulness of being played by Joe Manganafamalo.

Oh.... you mean the one true Superman?
