How he finally met the mother (Season 9)

I'm binge-watching to get ready for the finale. I hadn't seen it since January. I saw it Monday night, figuring I would just skip the previous episodes, but now I'm watching them.... LOL...

 

Really enjoyed it.
Robin calls Ted a pussy.

 

Lipton: "Robin, what do you love about Barney?"
Barney: "My dick!"

Makes me wish this show was on Showtime for a season. Just start over, but change some of the jokes to be dirtier and more literal. (ie. not saying sandwich when they mean joint).

 

True, but "Lily" even dodged saying that one in Inside the Actors Studio, making it clear with a gesture, but not saying the words. At least I think she was speaking as Lily at that point.

You make a good point, though. I would have liked to see an R rated version of the show.

 

She made the gesture...but she said "joint" as well I think.
The first segment of that show -- NPH and Hannigan -- were really good. I laughed (NPH razzing Lipton) and shed a tear (Marshall's dad dying scene) in that time frame.

"Hands! Jim! Hands!"

 

If she said the word, I missed it.

I also missed the first segment and the replay was on too late for me to see it. The parts I did see were a lot of fun.

 

"Sandwich" is one of my favorite running jokes.

 

Hadn't watched the show in almost two months but I finally caught up. Despite my knocks on this season, and I still contend they are well deserved, the final few episodes have been very strong and I'm excited to see how it wraps up tomorrow.
I don't think the Mother is dead but mostly because they teased that angle and it seems like a lot of people have that theory. It's not a bad theory and while I would have/would hate for the show to end that way, I think it would have been/would be an incredibly strong way to wrap it all up.
My hope is everyone lives happily ever after but mostly because I love these characters.
Tomorrow is going to be so incredibly bittersweet.

 

My wife watched it this afternoon...yup, she never actually said it.

 

Loved the "Inside the Actors Studio." Reminded me of some of the great moments from the show and how great this group was together. Sure, there were some episodes that didn't live up to the bar that they set, but man, that bar was pretty dang high. Even at its worst, HIMYM was better than 90 percent of the other sitcoms out there, something some people seem to forget. Gonna miss this show.

 

Inside the Actors studio was great.

Sorry JRoyal, when the show was bad, it was horrible. I agree there was a high bar, but the show rarely hit the bar in the last few years.

 

I was hoping for more "How did you get the role" stuff from Josh and Cobie. All that stuff with them in character was OK, but I wanted some more behind-the-scenes stuff.
