How I Met Your Mother co-creator Craig Thomas has hinted at the show's eighth season.

The CBS sitcom's next run will pick up where last night's season finale ended, with Robin (Cobie Smulders) revealed as Barney's future bride.

"We ended the season finale with a lot of, for lack of a better term, mind-****s," Thomas told Vulture. "So we'll have to do a whole episode stuck in that time frame. And then in episode 802, we jump ahead... and catch up with everyone."

It is currently unclear if season eight of How I Met Your Mother will be the show's final run, Thomas added.

It sucks big time. The irony and worst part is that the so-called “playboy” of the show is a real life fag.

The problem is every show on TV is the same show these days with different actors and titles. Nothing but long strings of dirty jokes and slutty actresses who like taking it all off for the general public.

You gotta be Sh##ng me!! In the realm of stupid, that show is just one notch higher than The Big Bang Theory. I skip both and watch a rerun, rerun of two and a half men. Of course in the old days I saw Laverne and Shirley go to the top and stay there for awhile and thought to myself, at that time, man, this country has no future if that crap can pull an audience to make it to the top. No wonder Obama got the Votes to become President. We’re a bunch of total idiots.

The premise of the show can be very funny, and there is plenty of eye candy for everybody, but it is way too dependent on sex and defaults to the crude.

The faults are almost universally common in TV today.

I don’t watch that, but see previews once in a while.

I can NOT see the brunette whassername without thinking: “This one time? in band camp? I stuck a flute in my ...” followed by a huge spit-take by the guy she was talking to. She’ll always be the band-camp geek in American Pie to me.

BTW, “?” was the weird rising inflection she used in AP...

hence the reason for the overhype.

It is 100% unwachable.

There is more than enough eye candy elsewhere.

It must be very cheep to produce.

That runs against time constraints. The forman is a flashback told in 3030 to his kids. The older seems to be at least 15, so for the show to run to 2013-14 (season 9), Ted would have to tell their mother "I love you" on the first date, and "Will you marry me?" on the second. Does that sound like Ted?

Or Season 8 could cover last 6 months of 2012. Season 9 could cover first 6 months of 2013. They did something similiar on that 70s show, they were forced to slow down the pace of the show.
