The How I Met Your Mother Blog

The Hollywood Reporter recently hypothesized about many of the current “bubble” shows and their chances at renewal. The good news? How I Met Your Mother is an almost-guaranteed pick up:

With CBS’ Monday night comedy block continuing to perform strong while other returning shows crash, the network is considering opening up another night of comedy. If so, the net is going to need “[The New Adventures of Old] Christine.” As for “How I Met Your Mother,” a pickup is considered a given.

I’m not sure what kind of world it is where CBS has two nights of comedies but I’m very glad to hear that the Monday block has been performing well. If you ask me, they could bring back The Class and it’d do well too. Check out the full article for news on Reaper, Moonlight, Shark, and more shows that we may or may not see return.

Update: Ratings are in from this week. All shows on all networks suffered but CBS still did well:

CBS won the evening overall in the key demographic while most of its comedies fell slightly.

On CBS, “The Big Bang Theory” fell 10% (7.6 million viewers, 2.8 preliminary adults 18-49 rating and a 9 share) and “How I Met Your Mother” dropped 8% (8.3 million, 3.5/10).

First, thank you to all the people who said such lovely things about the site in the comments last week, I appreciate all of it. You guys are the best readers.

Now, onto business. Tonight’s episode is “Rebound Bro” and it looks like a good one:

• When Ted tells the gang Stella’s intimate secret, he must face the consequences of breaking her trust.
• Guest Cast:
  Stella: Sarah Chalke
  Randy: Will Forte (Barney’s new wingman)
  Pete: Blair Hickey
  Stapleton: Dean West
  Crazy Willie: Bill Parks
  Haley: Floriana Lima
  Kate: Rome Shadanloo
  Sadie: Sonia Rockwell
  Lucy: Darcy Rose Byrnes (that’d be this young lady not this super-hot woman. I was disappointed although I bet Darcy makes a better eight-year-old daughter.)
• Barney goes on a quest to find his next bro. It will be a challenging task as most of Barney’s old friends are now married and have children or already have a bro. He eventually teams up with nerdy Randy who delivers the mail in Barney’s office and actually offered to be Barney’s new wingman. Barney has a lot of work to do to make Randy bro material.

Have-You-Met-Ted.com turns eight months old today. I posted Barney and Marshall have a Confrontation on September 1st last year. I didn’t know what the site would become, if anyone would read it, or if there were even that many other fans of the show out there. I just wanted to have some intelligent discussion about the show and couldn’t find a good place for it.Since then I’ve had 130,000 page views, 965 comments, 332 subscribers, and 162 posts (it feels like I’ve written 10x that). I’ve gotten a chance to get to know a number of intelligent, hilarious, and all around legendary fellow fans; launched a Facebook group, and helped a soldier in Iraq publicize his love for the show.

The show has also come a long way. When I started it had a cult following, and now it’s gone a lot more mainstream and gaining viewers every week. The world is starting to realize what we’ve known all along.

I want to thank you guys for all the comments and support for both the site and the show that you’ve shown over the past eight months. I hope you stick around, I’ve got more great stuff to come in the future.
