The “How I Met Your Mother” spinoff at CBS has begun to take serious shape, as the Eye has handed the project a pilot production commitment.
In late October, news broke that CBS was in talks with 20th Century Fox TV for a spinoff that had a femme perspective, but a deal had yet to be secured. Social media quickly weighed in on the “How I Met Your Dad” concept, with many fans of the show delighting in more “HIMYM”-like material, given that the comedy is set to end after its current ninth season. Others, however, groaned and questioned the necessity of such a spinoff.
Nevertheless, “How I Met Your Dad” is moving forward, with “HIMYM” creators Craig Thomas and Carter Bays writing and exec producing with “Up All Night” creator Emily Spivey. 20th, the studio behind “HIMYM,” will produce.
Comedy is dubbed a kindred spirit of “HIMYM,” and tells that story from a female point of view. The story will be brand new, with new characters and a new voice at its center.
“HIMYM” returned for its ninth season in September, and is performing strongly for the Eye on Monday nights, even recently beating out its NBC competitor “The Voice” in key demo adults 18-49.
Been a long time since I've watched HIMYM, how good was the last season?
I missed the last two episodes but it's seriously grating so far. I'm 7 episodes in and they still haven't finished with Barney and Robin's wedding. We know who the mother is but Ted and her haven't met yet. Typical HIMYM. You'd think by now they'd stop being pricks about it.

Apparently the wedding weekend is the whole season, so the actual wedding is probably going to be over several episodes at the end of the season... I agree it's definitely been grating. I'll keep watching it but simply because I feel like we've got so far, I want to see it through. I don't really care any more I'm also a little suspicious that they might not even show the moment when the two actually meet...

I hope the writers of HIMYM die a slow painful death. They build and build and build the story up only to make the ending not worth the wait. Surely the whole point was to see how perfect the Ted and the mum were together. If we don't see that then it's going to be very unsatisfying.
