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).
