It was supposed to be a new show last night, but they put in a rerun instead. I suppose that they figured Sandy would wipe out a big chunk of their viewers and kill the ratings.
teachsac said:Yeap. CBS ran reruns, while ABC and NBC aired new programming.
S~
I liked the episodes shown last night. Wed all knew that robin and Barney would get together but the way they did it was amusing and it explained the loose end of the earlier hint about Ted and Robin not quite being over.
So ted is the Fifth wheel now. I guess we need to finally meet the mother now.
"We're thrilled to have the hilarious Abby Elliot joining us in an arc as Janeane, the craziest girl the 'HIMYM' gang has ever encountered. And the strange, inexplicable phenomenon is: the crazier Janeane gets, the more attractive one of the gang finds her," executive producer Craig Thomas told EW. "It doesn't end well."
I still say it could go on for at least a season even after we meet her. After all how many series have been about how two people get together
Read the Carter Bayes interview in the first link I posted above. Note that they have signed two actresses to be Ted's temporary love interests yet this season. Then note that we are halfway through the season with only 12 episodes to go.
Bayes stated that they had written through episode 16 or so. 17-22 are up for grabs and dependent on whether they make a deal. Now that the deal for a season 9 seems to be firming up, I am going to make a prediction. Barney and Robin will get married in the season finale. We will see the mother from the back and she will turn as we fade out for the cliffhanger, making us wait until September to learn her identity.
Season 9 will be about the courtship, the series ending with Ted's wedding.
hahaha, how did you know?
Based on everything that's been shown, I think it's Barney's sister. Pretty much fits every clue that's been given.
Also, the crew knows who the mother is, as the reveal scene with the kids was shot a couple years ago, so they could do it before they age too much (if you notice, you'll see that all the scenes with the kids have been using rehashed footage the past few seasons).
