I agree. I actually thought it was a joke at first, I honestly did not want to believe it.

There's a black gay guy eventually though, that saves it
>>
>>71170439
I'm still mad about it. My brother is still mad about it.

I can't think of ANY god damn reason ANYBODY that was responsible for letting that air on television decided it was a good idea.

Kill off the mother sure! whatever!

but why ruin Barney AND Robin AND Ted's characterization?Who wanted them to get back together?
>>
>>71170830
that was wayne brady dude he's not just SOME inoffensive and harmless black guy he's THE inoffensive and harmless black guy.

>white people love wayne brady because he makes bryant gumbel look like malcolm x
>>
>>71170840
they fucked themselves by making the main mystery of the show the mom

clearly they always wanted robin and ted to be together,they should have just let it happen organicly.
>>
What exactly was wrong with the finale? Wasn't he always in love with Robin? Thats how I saw it.
>>
>>71170840
I would have been fine with the mother dying. What's not fine is killing her in 3 seconds and then "back to Robin again! because 9 long seasons totally proved that was gonna work out!"
Also Barney... wow. They developed his character so much just to throw it away in a minute after a sudden divorce. It's like nothing even happened in these 9 seasons.

Considering they shot the ending during season 2, it's even worse

WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE SHOW THEN
>>
>>71171073
this was so bad i try to forget it.

killing off deb was so utterly retarded.
>>
>>71170945
Character development, etc.
The idea was that the whole series builds up to Ted finally moving on (from Robin mostly, although there were a few others) and finding his one true love and all that gay shit.
>>
>>71170945
>>71171113
And the idea became that he loved Robin like he loves Marshall, Lily, or Barney.
>>
>>71170940
>clearly they always wanted robin and ted to be together,they should have just let it happen organically
no shit, they had the ending planned before the pilot aired and filmed by the time season 2 aired.
>>

how dare you correct my spelling.

did they always intend to use that actress as the mom if the finale was always planned out?

By ending I mean the bit with the kids on the couch and old ted, then the bit where old ted shows up with the horn.

That stuff was filmed during season 2, not the rest.

Isnt this like Friends 2.0.

I watched maybe 3-4 episodes and it was most generic Friends clone ever made.
This is lower than low.
That dude who god his balls cut by Amy , he is like "most funniest" guy in the show...
Ross from Friends is literally more funnier than him, that says a lot
>>
>>71171225
I guarantee you some studio exec said "hey, sure its been nine years and a lot has changed, but we have the ending already filmed so lets save money not filming a new one."
>>
>>71171225
Yes. The kids reaction of the whole series being Ted telling them how he met their mother, but was actually in love with Robin the whole time, and then the kids telling Ted to go bang Robin was shot in season 2. Which makes it even worse
>>
>>71171280
ahhh,i get why they would do that.

but its really dumb that they thought fans would like the ending,they should have did what the friends writers did and made a couple alternate ones.

Fuck, they didn't even need to add that. It could have still worked if the mother dies, and that's why he's telling the kids that. They set that up back in either season 7 or 8 whenever they did the time travelers one. It's the "AND THEN I FUCKED ROBIN" part that makes it shit

they did make an alternate one, how anybody thought the one that aired was better is dumbfounding

Probably. The only one that wanted to still do the show was Hannigan. Segel was doing movies instead and had to be forced into the last season, Smulders had MCU work rolling in, Radnor was content doing indieshit and writing and directing movies where he gets to fuck best Olsen the lucky fuck, and NPH just wants to do big variety shows type of shit.

Fuck, even Hannigan was trying to set up a spin-off for Lily and Marshall in the last season, and Segel told her to fuck off

Dexter and its not even close. At least we got a happy ending with HIMYM even if it spit on everything.built for multiple seasons. The finale of Dexter was the biggest fuck you to a fanbase EVER.

Ted meets the mother, they get married, have kids, she dies, he tells the story to his kids so they give him permission to fuck Robin

they killed off the mother and divorced two of the main characters and had the lead character get back with one of them within the last 5 minutes or so of the show

Ah yes typical sitcom with zero understanding of the subcultures it emulates.
>>
>>71172069
To be fair, Friends is pretty shit as well. HIMYM pulls the drama strings a bit more but there are still some fairly stand-out moments that occur during the series, much like Friends. Both are easily forgettable, although Friends does have Chandler. HIMYM doesn't really have any redeemable quality characters, so I'll give it that.

I really hold the two in basically the same light though.

Vince Vaughn walking to his death in the desert was top notch.

Also nostalgia for 90s sitcoms is a thing, etc.
>>
>>71171182

What's even more maddening is that they knew Ted and Robin were going to get together in the end yet dedicated ENTIRE SEASONS to showing how they weren't meant to be together
>>
>>71172231
yo it had to be a SURPRISE dude
>>
>>71172158
friends is shit but at least its watchable. HIMYM is just terrible. so is two and a half men
>>
>>71172069
i hate both but i like HIMYM more.
friends always felt really forced.
atleast with HIMYM you feel like they probably hang out irl sometimes.
>>
>>71172158
i thought it was pretty great up until stella was introduced, dropped off around then, not sure how far in that was maybe 4/5 seasons, iirc friends dropped off at a similar timeframe

Great finale. You're all just sour plebs
>>
>>71172251
I feel like they're both watchable, but I understand where you're coming from. The writing and approach to the comedic parts is very different in regards to both shows. I originally hated HIMYM but, at the time, had never watched Friends either (grew up watching Seinfeld, Frasier, etc.). I watched HIMYM first and then Netflix added Friends, so I ended up watching that. It may just be a different approach to the shows.

jesus i didnt realise how soon that was, it really was pretty much trash for almost its entire run, i dont know why i remember it so positively

As far as I'm concerned the show ended when Eric left.
Tommy Chong is fucking terrible, and got way too big a part. Hyde's dad being black was fucking dumb. Whoever that idiot that replaced Eric was awful. Fuck that show ended poorly.
>>
>>71172302
this show is for plebs,so calling people who watch it plebs is redundant.pleb.
>>
>>71172357
Cause season 1 and 2 were pretty good. Season 3 was good once it came back from the strike, the first half was pretty shitty. Everything after that was mostly shit. There was a decent episode or two between season 4 and 5 at best
>>
>>71172357
Stella sucked but the show was still p good and funny up through season 4... even 5 wasn't awful. After that it got worse and worse though.
>>
>>71170415
that would be battlestar galactica's ending
>>
>>71170945
This is what I thought too, so I'm actually fine with that. Plus it's a sitcom, the plot is barely relevant, so is the character development.

Finale was great. The entire final season being made irrelevantwas the shit part
>>
>>71172348
can we both agree that theyre both shit compared to frasier
>>
>>71172584
Yeah, man, absolutely. I constantly just rewatch Frasier. It is masterfully done and it absolutely tops Seinfeld as the greatest of all time.
>>
>>71172534
except the entire barney robin storyline was also made irrelevant

as was ted moving on from robin

aka the two dominant plotlines of seasons 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9

Please, I agree the Barney thing was awful, but I didnt mind the Robin relationship at all. If they didnt somehow got back to her a lot of Ted/Robin characterization wouldnt have made sense. The guy literally spent 9 seasons in love with her which was pointed out many times.

The kids are revealed to be interracial.
>>
>>71174392
best sitcom since That 70's Show
>>
>>71171112
wait, they killed deb?
that actually makes me want to watch the last season.
>>
>>71172291
I don't get why they had to turn Fez from the awkward foreign kid into Rico Suave and having him end up with Jackie of all people.
>>
>>71174557
i hated deb too but they made her so pathetic that she isnt annoying anymore somehow.she literally becomes a cuck.

the way she dies is fucking awful for a major character too.
>>
The thing is, it's not even the worst part of HIMYM, that title belongs to Robin floating away because Ted 'let go' all while Eternal Flame plays.
>>
>>71174574
because kelso and eric were gone and the show needed an alpha/ladies man.

or else the dynamic would be off

i hated it too tho
>>
>>71172534
exactly this, I didn't watch most of season 9 so I wasn't really affected, but I can see how those who did might be unhappy with this ending
>>
>>71174392
Hands down the best post-friends show.
