The last season of HIMYM, is sort of a last hurrah for the cast and guest stars. Almost everyone who appeared in the series takes a sort of bow. All of Ted's old girlfriends appear and almost every goofball, (The Captain, Robin Scherbatsky, Sr.,The Bartender etc.). among others make a final appearance.
The writers tried something different in this season. The episodes were set over the 3 day period of Barney and Robins wedding. In theory this was sort of clever, in reality kind of unwieldy.
The plan was to finally bring Ted and Robin together after her divorce from Barney. But a funny thing happened on the way to the last episode. The actress they hired to play Ted's unseen wife, Cristin Milioti was so likable that fans of the series resented killing her off to make way for Robin.
The DVD release offered 2 versions of the final show, one where the mother is alive and married to Ted and one where the mother is dead and Ted finally ends up with Robin. My vote is he should have stuck with girlfriend Victoria from season 1
Well that's showbiz.
24 episodes, 516 minutes.
