Google Mad Men. That show is just now coming back because production was halted because of the rift between AMC and the creators. Basically, AMC has decided it's not going to pay anybody anything and if they don't like it...walk.

I do find it kind of funny that in such a PC age so much of America has no qualms about laughing at the guy with Asperger's.
Well yeah none of the characters are realistic. Stereotypical, really.
In all fairness, we have just watched the first three seasons on DVD over the past month or so. I haven't seen anything past that and haven't been following them for 5 or 6 human years.
I think it's more like AMC looked at the books and realized that just because a show wins a bunch of Emmy's doesn't mean it leads to the ad dollars needed to support continuing to do it at a high level. This is different than Walking Dead, which I believe is much more successful in the ratings than Mad Men and Breaking Bad.
Where did I say he CAN"T play him? All I said was for me it doesn't work knowing he's gay. I'm not criticizing his acting ability at all. And for that you have to go straight to name-calling?
Since i mentioned it, i should link what he wanted to do:
Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.
He wanted to basically spend the season opener on the fall of Atlanta, all the way down to how that guy ended up in the tank. Couldve been a bad *** episode, and would be worth exploring in the future.
NPH is far from the only gay guy playing straight characters. There are also tons of straight guys playing gay characters. The only time I could really see it taking someone out of the show is if they were supposed to be playing themselves. If we were taking about the Harold & Kumar movies instead of HIMYM you'd have a point.
I agree. I stopped watching when Ted opened his own architecture company. I know that Josh Radnor isn't actually an architect, so it just wasn't believable to me.
If I'm not mistaken I believe next season is the last season. Ted is supposed to meet the mother at Barneys wedding, presumably at the end of this season. Then next season would detail their relationship and wrap it up.
I think that's how I read it somewhere.
anyone else catch the season 8 finale last night?
I was shocked they finally put a face to The Mother.
But of course we still are no where near Ted meeting The Mother

I certainly wouldn't say no, but I'm not a body builder / model / pro athlete like Brad is, either...
I'm surprised they actually put a face to her. Great finale though, it'll be interesting to see where things go from here.
There's still speculation that this is yet ANOTHER trick by the writers, and that it's not actually his wife. I don't think that's true though. It'd be different if this was yet another mid-season fling for Ted, but the timing of it leads me to believe that this is the one. Also, they've been hyping up Barney's future wedding for quite a few years now, and when we find out that the implications of said wedding (where Ted eventually meets the mother), it would just be anti-climatic to have all this hype build to nothing. Plus, it's not like there won't be any dramatic tension for the next season if Ted ends up meeting his future wife in an early episode -- you still have Marshall's job offer that he took (that he still hasn't had a chance to tell Lily about yet), you have Ted thinking that Robin is still the love of his life... lots to build on yet.

Don't you forget it! : )
She's not really a 5/10 but she's just not a girl that I find attractive, although I get some people will.
pretty sure next season is the last season, so the it's gotta be some what close, I'm sure there's gona be a twist, deffinately gonna pull a marathon week for the last final episode.
Next season (Season 8) is the last. I still really enjoy the show although earlier seasons were funnier IMO. I don't understand why people are so frustrated not meeting the mother before last night...once we knew it wasn't Robin and was going to be a random person, who cares what the mother looks like or her name is.
My theory before last night was that Ted and Robin get married but end up getting divorced (or Robin dies), Ted remarries and has his kids with another woman. But last night's season finale ended that idea.
