Reader Joel pointed me to the news that How I Met Your Mother has officially been picked up by CBS for a fifth season. I didn’t think the show was in any jeopardy but it is nice that all that “on the bubble” worry of previous season finales is gone. Congratulations to Bays, Thomas, Fryman, and the entire cast for another year!

It’s also been announced that the show will move to the 8:00pm timeslot. If memory serves, this is where the show began. I don’t particularly think it matters but I just hope there isn’t any pressure from the network to “clean up” some of the racier show elements. So long as it shares an evening bracket with the fratty humor of Two and a Half Men I think it should be OK.

Once you watch, go join in the discussion. No time to watch? Purchase the episode on and watch on your ipod or iphone.

So the season is over. If you’re like me this is the point you go back and watch it all again, to see what different things have changed now that you know what the future brings. To watch it all you’ll need the DVDs. While not released yet you can preorder a copy at a low price and have it delivered as soon as it’s available. Order the Blu-Ray for an even better viewing experience.

If you don’t want to wait you can buy all the episodes from a download-and-watch service like Amazon or iTunes.

Either way, purchasing the DVDs or downloads through this site helps cover costs so I’d much appreciate it. Just use the links below or those in the right sidebar.

As far as finales go this one was a little light on the revelations. No slow motion kissing while some sweet indie song wells up, no weddings, no break ups, no life threatening accidents (though there was a hospitalization.) That being said, this was an amazing finale. It’s one of my favorites. It was mellow and subtle, but did a great job of wrapping up plot lines from throughout the season. We all got to see Robin and Barney discuss their feelings, and in a way that proved more hilarious than I could’ve expected. It also gave Ted the final push he needed to get toward the mother.

This finale was so good I’m not sure how to really talk about it. This recap won’t do it justice. It was really good. But I’ll try.

It’s finally here. Season 4 has come a long way. We’ve all looked forward to the finale and tonight we get to see whether or not Bays and Thomas can deliver on the legend of The Goat, RoBarn, and the yellow umbrella.

I’m confident that this finale will be a good one. I have no idea what’s going to happen, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy it. I also have a feeling we might finally see the payout of a promise Bays made awhile back in regards to a woman from Ted’s past returning. Any guesses who it might be?
