As one of the posters who spoke very positively about this show early on in this thread, my opinion has done a 180. The show's trying too hard. For a long stretch, they seemed to forget they were a sitcom and were supposed to make people laugh. That entire Marshall's dad storyline was a bummer, and they dragged it out for months. Nowadays I'd say the funny to corny/downer episodes ratio is 1:4.

And now they're saying it's very possible that they'll extend the show and change the title even after "Mother" is revealed.

My suggestion: How to Beat a Dead Horse... With Your Mother.

Thanks for merging. It's quit odd cause I did use the search button first, kaya lang walang lumitaw.
Anyway, glad to have seen this thread.

Add: my bad, i did not click on the "Search in topic subjects only" at the option parameters, that explains it.
Ty!

Agree. Although, the last 3 episodes of the season was somewhat a return to form. I was glad to see cupcake girl again. Still, like you said, beating a dead horse. They should've just resolved this within four seasons or so. But unlike the Brits who are geniuses at this, that's how American television is.

Couldn't agree more. This show has stretched its premise far longer than what was prudent. You can't help but feel that you're being led aimlessly through the tired plot. Even Barney's antics have ceased being amusing.

Sana ipakita na nila sa season finale in May. guitar bass player daw in Barney and Robin's wedding e. Baka panay likod na naman ipakita.haha

Well, in any case, Season 9 will be the last one, so konting tiis na lang, I guess.

May theory nga na baka nababaliw na si Ted. At baka imagined din ang mga anak nya pati yung mother....hahaha! Imagine, 8 years na, hindi pa rin tumatanda yung mga bata...

Sa imdb yata bro and other sites as well. Final na talaga Season 9 (at long last). Grabe magkwento tatay ng "kids". Lahat ng minute details sinali sa kwento. Lol.

thanks, checked it online din and it seems like it is finally over. people's comments online were right though, this series deserved a proper ending.
unlike desperate housewives siniksik sa last few episodes ang ending.

for me the episode was good since it touches on the emotional side of the story. it not only tells the story that Ted is really ready to meet "The One" but that the gang has gone full circle and has become completely mature (well maybe not exactly for Barney LOL). Medyo deep yung episode na yun and I like it.

Ewan ko ba. For me parang filler episode lang e. Parang nagkwento lang si Ted ng "what if" for the most part of the episode.

Come on Ted, get on with the canon storyline. This isnt animè where filler episodes are normal. Hahaha

isa pang crazy theory: the mother died shortly after the 2nd child that's why the kids have to endure 8 years of too much information instead of just asking their mother the short version

or may schizophrenia si ted at wala talaga syang kausap.

halvert · « **Reply #84 on:** Apr 02, 2013 at 10:53 PM »

Yup, yan ang naisip ko nung napanood ko yung latest episode. Baliw na si ted. Imagination nya lahat yung nangyari, so what else has he just imagined? His wife, his kids, his friends?

did a little backreading, itutuloy kaya nila si alicia silverstone

ano na ba itsura nito ngayon, baka pwede sya maging mother.

leomarley · « **Reply #87 on:** Apr 10, 2013 at 08:01 AM »

i think Alicia Silverstone would be too old to play the mother.

Will watch episode 23 later...

Episode 22 was funny. Niyari nila si Barney for his bachelor's party...

The Karate Kid part was funny as well

the_w0rks · « **Reply #89 on:** May 09, 2013 at 10:52 AM »

Ep 23 is so-so. Mukhang it really is time to lay this tv show to rest na.
