How I Met Your Mother Season 6 Confirmed
As was reported late last night on the official HIMYM Twitter and Facebook pages, the show has been picked up for another season. This is great news for us, them, and the world. Remember the old days when the show was on the bubble?

First comment
I am happy as long as the show gets back on track for me.
Although it’s been a hard time this season, I think the writers have an enormous finale prepared for us and more adventures to come.
From now on, I’ll try to balance how I feel the episodes and how I write here, to non-seem-all-negative.
Bays, Thomas: Keep it up! And thanks for 5 wonderful years of HIMYM, and the years to come

It would appear that Craig and Carter are going to be able to keep making the show as long as they want at this point. What r u feelin? 9 seasons? That’s how long Seinfeld ran.

Wow!!.. I’m really happy for this..
I really think that this season will improve in each new episode..
Wiiii.. We have HIMYM for long timeeee!

I love this show but I seriously don’t think it should be longer than 7 seasons. Anywho, yay for one more year of awesomeness!

In my opinion they need to finish this season up strong, and then call season 6 it’s final season. It’s a great show, and 6 seasons would be a great run, and I REALLY don’t want them to have another dull moment in the show. First half of season 5 has been God-awful, and if they start climaxing the whole show’s storyline soon, I’ll be happy with a good finish.

i agree, season 6 should more than definitely be the last one. i don’t want it to end after these five, mainly, because it wouldn’t to a great show justice to end on such a mediocre note. i want them to get it together and produce 20 great episodes for season 6 and then just wrap it up, himym-style!!

I love this show, but I feel it broke with the break up of Barney and Robin. I hope it was temporary and that they get back on the track with that (haven’t seen the last two episodes yet, so it might have happened things I don’t know of). I do agree with many other, season six ought to be the final, you can’t drag out the story forever. I’d love a grand finale where Ted gets his girl, Marshal and Lilly are a couple (well we already know they will remain together) and Barney and Robin get hooked together for real.
However: I feel the story telling with all it’s flashbacks, alternative viewpoints etc is unique among sitcoms, and the chemistry between the five in the team is quite astounding, so I would love to see a spin off which pretty much follows the same pattern, just having a new story line.

Yeah! As for the comments above, I would want the show to last as long as the producers have ideas for new episodes. Which can be up to Season 10, or even 110.
Thomas | January 27, 2010 @ 11:31 am
Its certainly nice there isn’t any worry about whether it’ll get another season or not! Personally I’d be happy if they go to season 7 and then finish things there. I don’t think the concept of the show could go on much longer after that, but another couple seasons would be more than enough to round things up and hopefully provide a few laughs along the way. Although I could change my mind by the end of season 5!

this indeed is great news

Hurray!
JD | January 27, 2010 @ 12:13 pm
Carter has hinted at HIMYM topping out at 8 seasons. Can they do it? I think so. I know I’ll be excited to watch!
Toby | January 27, 2010 @ 1:26 pm
It is so awesome that they got renewed this fast. Last year I was freaking out waiting for it in May.
I am in the seven season camp; i think there is a bit more there to go til season 7, but after that I think they need to end. I hate when shows drag things out longer than they should, i.e. scrubs.
i am in total agreement about Barney and Robin. That needs to get back on track, but not til the last season.
Jenn- GCWOK Approved | January 27, 2010 @ 3:38 pm
While I think they should end the plot line of meeting the mother by season 7, I think they should just keep right on going with the story after that. They could add a few more seasons of How I Married Your Mother or- Ohh!! Ohh!!! How I Met Your BROTHER- of him telling his daughter about his life after meeting the mother and having the two kids. I think the current plot line has been dragged out for about as long as it can go, but they could keep going with a great show with just a little different directive.
Jenn- GCWOK Approved | January 27, 2010 @ 3:38 pm
Carter, Bays, if you’re reading this, you can use my title.
Toby | January 27, 2010 @ 3:39 pm
Jenn- That’s too much like Scrubs the new class for me
Jazzer | January 27, 2010 @ 3:41 pm
Yeah, y’know, they could keep on producing after Ted meet’s the mother, as in how his children were born and so on. But there is a need for that. I’d rather have a few episodes after he meet’s the mother about how Barney, Robin, Lily and Marshall go on with they’re lives.
Ryan | January 27, 2010 @ 4:24 pm
Carter Bays said in the beginning that they didn’t want the show to run long since it would make ted seem really messed up and bad at dating. I love the show but it seems that lately they have been grasping for outlandish ideas that are more hit or miss and not as consistently hilarious as the were in the beginning. I would be happy with finishing strong next year, and at most 7 seasons. Any more, and they would be getting way too old. Teds kids look mid-teens in the year 2030, which puts their birth around 2013-15ish. So one or two more seasons makes sense…
Kooper | January 27, 2010 @ 4:45 pm
I would be really happy if they announced that season six would be the last and they started to close the story. I love the show but the number of 1 offs is too much. The show is treading water in the same way that Lost was in season 3.
Katie | January 27, 2010 @ 8:21 pm
I still feel like How I Met Your Mother is this baby show that has yet to be discovered. It’s hard to believe that we will soon be entering season six!!

Huzzah!
katie90 | January 28, 2010 @ 4:50 am
has their always been another katie? it’s weird, i feel like: huh? that’s not me, i didn’t say that
Nonblonde | January 28, 2010 @ 1:36 pm
If awesome and Lily’s outdoor WOOO would have a lovechild, it would be THIS piece of news.
Yeah I know that sucked but really I’m just so happy about this!
Sarah | January 28, 2010 @ 11:07 pm
the old days?you mean,when the show was still funny and sweet and unique and everyhing it isn’t anymore????
i hope this isn’t turning out like scrubs,where they started to tell the same ass-boring stories over and over again,because they ran out of ideas,but not of airtime,and where the only reason to keep watching was the hope that j.d. and elliot would FINALLY get their happy ending…i’d love lo see teds happy ending before i can’t stand to see HIM anymore….
TheHorseMan | January 29, 2010 @ 5:36 am
Great news! I hope this show will last for ever.
Sam | January 31, 2010 @ 12:26 pm
Wheyy it might not last forever but at least we have one more season.
Jenn- GCWOK Approved | January 31, 2010 @ 6:47 pm
I don’t feel like it would be too “Scrubs- New Class” because it would all be the exact same cast and everything- just freedom to move past the restriction of that one pivotal story-line. I think it’d really be the exact same as this. We’ve seen Ted when he’s hooked up before; as long as the mom has good chemistry with the group then it’d be pretty much like when he was with Robin. I just feel bad that they think they have to end the show so he can meet his wife.
Jenn- GCWOK Approved | January 31, 2010 @ 6:48 pm
By the way, when I used to read these comments before watching Scrubs I was like, “people are concerned about two people named J.D. and Elliot hooking up? What show is THAT on?” ….And then I remembered and put it together one day around season 5.
Toby | January 31, 2010 @ 11:13 pm
I don’t really think the point of the show has anything to do with the mother per se, and it doesn’t make sense to me to have Ted meet and date her.
Fabio | February 1, 2010 @ 9:21 am
YAAAAAAAAAAAAA i’m so happy!!! himym has been a part of my life for the past 3 to 4 years and i just couldn’t bare the thought of it ending after season 5. thank god it’ll keep up for at least one more season.
hahahahahahahahahah
GO HIMYM!!
Sarah | February 9, 2010 @ 1:53 pm
I’m happy its going to have another season but im also dieing to know who the mother is, i recon its going to be Robbin in the end XD
Awesome | March 3, 2010 @ 9:10 am
It is nice that HIMYM will have another season.. But I am in agreement with all of the others. 6 seasons is enough for HIMYM, because if they continue the story even longer, the people will get bored. And I want Robin and Barney back together, their short legendary relationship should be rekindled. In the end, Barney should change his habit of sleeping with a lot of women and settle down with Robin. Long live the BRomance!
