(CNN) -- After 208 episodes, countless "legendarys!" and any number of pineapple incidents, slaps and slutty pumpkins, "How I Met Your Mother" comes to an end on Monday night. One thing we're absolutely certain will happen is that Ted Mosby will finally meet the future mother of his children and the nine-year-long story that future Ted has been telling the kids will be over.

I wonder if they filmed only that ending or if they recorded multiple endings (like the SNL skit with Tom Brokaw pre-taping ever possible news story before he went on vacation: "Tragedy today, as former President Gerald Ford was eaten by wolves. He was delicious.")
And they couldn't have telegraphed what would happen to the mother more if they had Samuel Morse handle it.
Loved this show, and great final episode. It’s just a fun story of people in their 20s and 30s. I watched most of the series on Netflix and recorded this season to watch once I caught up.
There’s really no political message whatsoever. It’s just silly fun.
A legendary, wait for it, drinking game show.
I think that I had the show on a couple of times because I just didn’t change the channel fast enough. Personally, I didn’t see anything that was particularly interesting or unique about it. It just, to me, appeared to be another variation on the Friends formula. Some people love it, others hate it, while my reaction was “meh.”
No clue what it even is.
I could never tell my kids the such filthy sexual vial stories about how I met their mother.
saw perhaps 5 minutes of an episode and realized that I would rather have a root canal without Novocain then watch anymore.
Then the fact that they are nothing more than hi-paid line readers, or line-reading carbon units, with little or no redeeming societal input, other than giving temporary employment to real people of value (even if their choice of vocation is to appease the aforementioned line reading carbon units).
I'll pass, thanks CNN for more useless non-news.
The funniest example in my childhood was that one where the gay guy plays the priest who gets seduced in a famous miniseries. Forgot the name and the name of the guy. When he was in his big seduction scene, I think with Rachel Ward, he was practically making the yech face. Funny.
Father Ralph in the Thornbirds. Richard chamberlain.
But Ted ended up with Robyn in the end? What happened to the mother?
In 2024 she died after being sick.
Yeah, I don’t think that a sitcom has had a more polarizing event since MASH killed off Henry Blake. Of course that happened mid-run and MASH went on to have one of the best finales ever.
The sad thing about HIMYM is that the finale had so many great individual moments, but then botched (IMHO, i know the segment of the audience who were rooting for Ted to end up with Robyn loved it) the actual ending.
Never seen it. Never wanted to.
Yes, Richard Chamberlain. Obviously a poor actor if he couldn’t fake straight for the scene, Lol.
Especially with Rachael Ward. If she couldn’t convert a gay, it must not be possible.
