    the writers of this show are sucking, its not funny anymore, they are trying too hard to make it funny. The acting is pathetic, Neil's role has let CBS to run this series for so long, the network should have shut this show down after the 5th season.

    Seriously?? CBS has the guts to launch another season of how i met your mother?
    This serial has turned from mediocre comedy to a pathetic romantic drama show and they still want to run it.
    God help CBS.

    I do agree with all the big supporter of this show. Something wonderful has broken? I hope no. Hope that Robin's hair will grow as the sitcom quality.

    A disastrous season finale. Unfunny implausible, utterly lacking in the heart that often redeems HIMYM's lesser outings.

    Instead we discover that Ted, far from being a romantic with an occasional roguish streak now looks to be little better than a sleazeball with no conscience about doing unto others what was done unto him. At a stroke, he is no longer a sympathetic character, but is    A disastrous season finale. Unfunny implausible, utterly lacking in the heart that often redeems HIMYM's lesser outings.

    Instead we discover that Ted, far from being a romantic with an occasional roguish streak now looks to be little better than a sleazeball with no conscience about doing unto others what was done unto him. At a stroke, he is no longer a sympathetic character, but is just a junior league version of Barney.

    The episodes were rife with implausible and impossible situations that effectively neutered the humor. We laugh when we can relate, but Barney's adventures with airport security were so impossible as to drain any empthetic humor - and of course, finding out at the end that it was all for nothing because Barney's intended is destined to get dumped. This was compounded by the return of Victoria - in a wedding dress at a bar. Oh sigh, here we go again - another recycled romance - and of course, again, not THE ONE. This pedal on the organ has been pumped way too many times to be even remotely interesting let alone funny. This is no longer plot twist or even plot tease - it is just tiresome.

    As to the birth of Marvin Ericsson - and don't get me started about the absurd middle name - it lacked all emotion. Marshall's miraculous turn from stone drunk to cold sober just in time for his "just in time" appearance in the birthing room, sans sanitized hospital garb, was nonsensical, unrealistic and so lightning fast as to be utterly without warmth or depth. This was a problem made worse by the fact that, yet again, we are treated to the presence of the whole group gawking at the baby instead of what would have been a far more touching family moment between the parents of the new baby. I don't know what it is, but whenever the writers of HIMYM attempt a touching moment between Marshall and Lilly, it falls flat - see their wedding as Exhibit A - and about the only thing that can be said about the baby Ericsson birth is that it continued the tradition of failed moments.

    This season started awful, improved only slightly in the middle, and now has ended as it began vapid, stalled and unfunny. Clearly the show has exhausted its premise - even the acting has become formulaic as the stars begin to pursue new projects and are devoting less energy to the show. It is time to have Ted meet the girl of his dreams and put this show out of its exhausted misery.    … Expand

    A once funny show has lost its charm. Perhaps there are new writers. Perhaps bringing in Kal Penn was a bad idea. Whatever the reason, it's over. it's not witty, the curve-ball humor is gone, and the show will lose fans.

    What happened to the HIMYM we all used to love? The show is now merely a shadow of what it was in the past. the writing is horrible, the jokes aren't funny, everything is over-dramatized in an unbelievable way. The season premiere was awful, and it just went downhill from there. There are still moments where there are redeemable qualities, where we get to see the show's old essence, butWhat happened to the HIMYM we all used to love?

    Just terrible - typical sitcom crap. This show ain't what it used to be. The dialogue is forced, the actors look tired & bored and the stories are recycled pap at best.

    I agree completely with Claire. My husband and I are great fans of the show, but after watching the latest episode last night we decided to abandon the show. The season has been pretty bad from the beginning, but we had hope. No more after the latest episode. The the plot line and writing were terrible. I actually had to look away at one point because I was so embarrassed for the show.I agree completely with Claire.

    Season 7 seems to show the writers' uncertainty of the show. My guess is Alyson Hannigan's pregnancy has roCked the momentum of the show or something to that effect. Season 7 has lost the suspense of meeting Ted's wife. Not sure how this series will last at this point.
