Alyson Hannigan was pregnant while filming many season four episodes, but the show-runners were not interested in her character, Lily, also being shown as pregnant. Most episodes used time-honored TV tricks to hide Hannigan's pregnancy, including baggy tops and giant handbags, but the episode How I Met Your Mother: The Possimpible (2009) showed Hannigan's pregnancy bump in the context of a subplot in which Lily wins a hot dog-eating contest and has a comically distended stomach afterward. A similar visual gag was used in the sitcom Titus (2000) several years earlier. Actress Cynthia Watros was pregnant during the show's second season, although her character "Erin" was not meant to be pregnant. So, in addition to the "time-honored TV tricks" being used to hide Watros' pregnancy, a flashback scenario was used in one episode that showed her character Erin winning a pie-eating contest and her actual pregnant belly was shown afterwards. After Hannigan told the show-runners that she was pregnant, Cobie Smulders discovered that she was also pregnant. Neither of the characters they play were pregnant on the show, so the costumers had the job of simultaneously hiding the pregnancies of the series' two main female actors.
Jason Segel was cast for the role of Marshall Eriksen because of his work on the short lived television show Freaks and Geeks (1999), of which HIMYM creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas were huge fans. Besides Segel, other three actors from the "Freaks and Geeks" cast appeared on the show. Samm Levine played Phil on season 1 episode 5, "Okay Awesome", Martin Starr played Kevin on season 1 episode 8, "The Duel", and Busy Philipps played Rachel on season 3 episode 3, "Third Wheel".
In season 8 episodes 11 & 12 the new GNB building opens up, however they never seem to move into the building. All episodes after that with scenes at GNB still show Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) in his same office.
The season 7 finale Magicians Code Pt. 2 is considered by many fans as the spiritual ending to the show even though it leaves some unanswered questions. The episode provides enough closure and is a much happier ending that fans have accepted it as a better series finale
In season 6 episode 4 (Subway Wars) Ted (Josh Radnor) points out the Arcadian Hotel to the bus driver. The next episode (Architect of Destruction) is where he finds out that is the spot of the new GNB headquarters and it will be torn down.
If you watch throughout the episodes, you can see Robin (Cobie Smulders), Lily (Alyson Hannigan), and Stella (Sarah Chalke) wearing the same necklaces on different characters. Also, at the end of S3 E20 "Miracles", the woman at the bar has the exact same purse as the woman in the opening scene of S4E1 "Do I Know You?"
In season 6 episode 6, Marshall is talking about a girl named Tara he knew back in high school. Marshall's school is shown in the flashback and it has Quebec's provincial flag on the post and a official blue government building identification panel next to the door. It's actually a provincial health management office in Montreal.
The mother's first name is already mentioned in season 1 episode 9, when a stripper tells Ted (Josh Radnor) she's called Tracy and Ted's off-voice tells his children 'this is the true story of how I met your mother'. The kids' shocked reaction reveals that it's the real name of their mother.
In the season 7 episode How I Met Your Mother: Good Crazy (2012), Ted (Josh Radnor) starts up online dating and finds a girl that seems to be perfect for him. However, after emailing her, it's revealed to be Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), simply testing Ted. If you pause it and read "the girl's" description, you'll see Barney actually address Ted at the very end of the description.
Before being picked up for another season, the writers planned for Victoria (Ashley Williams) to be the mother. The show would end with the shot of her at Claudia (Virginia Williams) and Stuart (Matt Boren)'s wedding followed by Ted (Josh Radnor) saying, 'and that's how I met your mother'.
The show's opening theme song and the photos displayed during it differ in only four episodes throughout nine seasons. How I Met Your Mother: Hopeless (2011) shows the main characters playing various instruments, How I Met Your Mother: Bedtime Stories (2013) is played to the tune of a music box, How I Met Your Mother: 46 Minutes (2012) excludes Lily (Alyson Hannigan) and Marshall (Jason Segel) after they move to the suburbs with new photos of Ted (Josh Radnor) and Robin (Cobie Smulders) looking annoyed with Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) and How I Met Your Mother: How Your Mother Met Me (2014) shows Tracy (Cristin Milioti) with several of her friends. How I Met Your Mother: 46 Minutes (2012) has a second version later in the episode to a Russian theme with Stripper Lily and her boyfriend. The intro to 46 minutes at the beginning of the show is also altered because Barney sings the theme song and declares himself the leader of the group.
In season 09 episode 05, there is a flashback scene where Ted is dressed as a "thank you note" for halloween. In the background you can see the slutty pumpkin, the female character Ted has been looking for every halloween. Ironically it's the one year Ted did NOT dress as a "hanging chad", a costume Ted wore every year so that when the slutty pumpkin re-visists the party, she'll know it's Ted.
The Mother's name was actually spoken in the first season at the end of the episode How I Met Your Mother: Belly Full of Turkey (2005) when Ted (Josh Radnor) meets a stripper named Tracy (Katie Amanda Keane). This explains why his kids believed him when he faked them out saying she was their mother.
In the end of How I Met Your Mother: Sandcastles in the Sand (2008), Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) and Robin (Cobie Smulders) hook up for the first time after Robin is dumped by Simon (James Van Der Beek) and invites Barney to watch the music video after which they have sex. In the 5th season in the episode How I Met Your Mother: The Rough Patch (2009), Barney and Robin break up and Barney discovers that Robin had an embarrassing T.V show according to Alan Thicke. He then storms out of the bar to find it, this shows that what started from a Robin Sparkles video ended on a Robin Sparkles video.
In season 2, episode 22 "something blue" Ted's argument to move to Argentina with Robin is that he regretted not taking a year to study abroad in college. But, earlier in season 2, episode 16 "stuff" Ted recounts the time he was backpacking through Europe and obtained the English phone booth.
Six weeks ago today, the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother ended its run after nine seasons and 208 episodes. The tale of these five friends and their decade-spanning relationships (including several decades in the future!) spoke to us at FilmWonk sufficiently that we recorded a special TV edition podcast about it. On that episode, both Daniel and I came to two conclusions: First, this is one of the finest sitcoms on television. And second, like all sitcoms, it goes on for a bit too long.
The pop singer guest-starred as Abby the receptionist on season three, episode 13. According to E! News, cocreator Carter Bays told Reddit that she helped bring in new viewers and saved the show from low ratings.
For nine seasons, Ted Mosby recounted the lengthy tale of how he eventually met the mother of his children on the popular sitcom "How I Met Your Mother." Joined by his longtime Marshall Ericksen, Lily Aldrin, Barney Stinson, and Robin Scherbatsky, Ted searches for true love as he enters his 30s and progresses in his career. And amidst all the jokes about the trials and tribulations of the dating scene, "How I Met Your Mother" always brought plenty of emotional depth for its story and characters as they navigated life.
By "How I Met Your Mother" Season 3, Barney's patented Bro Code had become a hallmark for the character and a major fan-favorite element of the show. As the season continued, Barney shared the code's ultimate axiom in the episode "The Platinum Rule" as he advised Ted's latest romantic endeavor. With Ted strongly considering dating his tattoo removal doctor, Barney reveals that the eponymous rule forbids people who see each other regularly from dating. By Barney's reasoning, should such a romance fail, the regular interaction would become unbearably awkward for the former couple.
There's a reason that it takes Ted nine seasons to find true love and settle down: Sometimes he makes grave relationship mistakes that result in messy consequences for all parties involved. This fallibility of the character is perfectly illustrated in the Season 1 episode "Nothing Good Happens After 2 A.M." With Ted growing closer to Robin, the true object of his affections, he has to reconcile how he's going to deal with his serious girlfriend Victoria. And just as Ted screwed up his first date with Robin, he somehow fails even more spectacularly this time around.
With nine seasons and over 200 episodes, it's remarkable how much enduring continuity for "How I Met Your Mother" is borne specifically from the pilot episode. Kicking off the series, the pilot quickly establishes all of the main character's dynamics, with many of the recurring jokes permeating through the series introduced here. Some shows change a lot from their pilot but "How I Met Your Mother" lays a particularly strong foundation out the gate. 2ff7e9595c
