'How I Met Your Mother' will return for final seasonCBS has renewed "How I Met Your Mother" for a ninth season, but it'll also be the comedy's final run. According to Entertainment Weekly, everyone - Josh Radnor, Jason Segel, Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris and Alyson Hannigan - will be back, along with creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas.
Twentieth Century Fox Television Chairmen Dana Walden and Gary Newman said in a statement that they're “thrilled to have the entire and incredibly talented 'How I Met Your Mother' cast back for one final season to bring the series to a proper close." Echoing the sentiments of President of CBS Entertainment Nina Tassler, Walden and Newman continued, "Carter Bays and Craig Thomas are masterful and hilarious storytellers, and we have no doubt that they will guide one of the greatest comedies of the last decade to a gratifying conclusion when they finally reveal the identity of the Mother." For his part, Bays said in a press call Tuesday that fans should be watching for stray pieces to start to fit together. "We're hoping to pay off every loose end before the end of the series, whether that’s sooner or later," Bays said. "We never rule anything out on the show. We keep any door open, which is perhaps maddening for some." |

lindsey is not a bug
i'm going to goldman and you'll be the same tool in 6 more months.
i'm going to goldman...where are you going no where.....
I saw one episode and decided it was humor for the masses (dumbed down), but I was forced to watch another episode last year and I thought it was funny so then I triwed to watch another one and again – CRAP! So I guess it's really hit n miss with this one.
The mother will be...

Lindsy Lohan!
The final season will be LEGEN-wait for it-DARY!
This has got to be the worse show on tv. Good-bye to bad tv and actors.
Diana – don't be jealous. If your acting skills are better then maybe you should audition? Otherwise properly S.T.F..U and sit on your couch and eat your ice cream 🙂
Worse than what, Diane?
I'm guessing Lord Voldemort dies.
My wife used to make me watch this show with her but now I watch because I want to. We both agree that now that we know the mother isnt someone that has already been introduced, its not as suspenseful. But we still wanna know who it is. Looking forward to it
Octomom, obviously.
this is a done deal...and tell BUTTA to stop it..thanks
This is actually one of the best written shows on TV. I have been a faithful viewer and will be glad to see all the loose ends tied up, but sad to see it go.
I tried to watch this show when it started....then tried again later...just not funny in my opinion
Saw it once, and it was stupid.
Here's a hint: Nobody cares how you met their mother. Nor ever will.
and you think Glen Beck is quality TV.
and see what the other bloggers are saying....good "got" though....
lol
have never watched this show....they are yanking great shows off the air and renew this pos?!
If you've never watched the show, then how would you know if it's a POS or that the other shows are "better". Next time you think about typing, bang your head on the keyboard and end your life.
yeah....im sorry, what 'great' shows are being yanked off the air exactly? Redneck catfish foot fishing?
Nine seasons. Gosh. I've honestly never seen a single episode. It must be pretty good though. It's got Willow from Buffy on it and that guy from Malcolm In The Middle. Maybe I shoulda watched it. Or fed those giraffes before locking up for the night. A herd of hungry giraffes are known to become fierce. I still like em though. Everyone likes giraffes. And monkeys. They are friendly. 🙂 We hope everyone has the Happiestest evening ever 🙂 and great happy dreams too 🙂
Hi Nate! I thought I was the only person who never watched this show. Hey, we could start our own club. Lol!
I only saw a few episodes myself. Never not hooked on it. I don't know why.
Meant..*got*
lol.. Me, too! I've seen a couple of old episodes, but that's it. Can I join the club, too?
Have been a faithful viewer since the beginning but I'm over it. Was hoping this would be the last season with all loose ends tied up.
amen.

@April1 – they did say that this season they would reveal the mother, and that didn't make a difference if there was a 9th season. Love the show but enough with the tease.
that really sucks i was looking forward to more seasons
Umm, it was thought THIS would be the last season.
