How I Met This Gang

"Have~ you met Ted?" Just one of the many lines (and reasons) to love Barney and the rest of the most loved group of friends in the 21st century.

Created by Carter Bays and Craig Thomas

From the title itself, How I Met Your Mother is a comedy series about Theodore 'Ted' Mosby, the main character and narrator of the story, as he retells his kids how he met their mother. The story takes its course from the young Mosby, along with his friends, Marshall Ericksen, Lily Aldrin, Robin Scherbatsky, and Barney Stinson, as they go through life and take on adventures in the city of New York (mostly just hanging out at MacLaren's Pub) until Ted meets his 'the one', and eventually revealing the identity of the mother of his children.




After a couple of days resisting to watch the final episode of the sixth season of HIMYM, I finally gave in. I did not want to watch it yet because I cannot seem to take another set of months of dreadful waiting for the next season. But here I am anyway, getting all gloomy while the rest of the world's population talk about the victory of Miami Heat.

*SPOILER ALERT* Overall, season 6 was still a pretty satisfying season. Seeing more stories of the every adorable member of the gang we love is almost always enough to continue watching the show anyway. And as usual, the writers keep the ending hanging. Though we know we would not be seeing Zoey in the next season, we still don't have a bit of idea who the mother is. Meanwhile, set aside the food poisoning incident, Lily and Marshall are finally having a baby. Most of the season's conclusions are quite expected (and given). But the real big and ultimate shocker of the finale is Barney's wedding. Of course, the bride was unknown. But please, let it be Robin.

Recent updates said that there will still be two more seasons, with the 'mother' set to be revealed, at least, by 2013. Geez, waiting for season 7 is excruciating enough. I cannot imagine what it will be like in seasons 8 and 9 yet. I love this show so much I feel like I'd be fine not knowing who the mother is (or am I).
