It's really hard to keep a tv series funny for a season but how i met your mother have been doing it for 8 season now and this is why this is the best sitcom ever with a slight, soft touch of romance along the side.

Girls look for the love storyline in it. Guys look forward for Barney's new pickup lines and ways to get girls. i saw you could benefit a lot from this show by entertainment and life lessons. What a show. i do not want to see this end.… Expand

It's back, and with a nice start to the season, traditional HIMYM at it's finest with new twists, skits and laughs. Greatly looking forwards to this season as it could be close to its last.

Although the season had a few below average episode, it still had it's share of absolutely great ones, revealing more about Ted's journey of meeting The One, than any other season ever has.

Back when season one started out I was hooked. I wanted to know who Ted Mosby's future wife was going to be and thus I have followed the show from Victoria to Zoey to the "cliffhanger girl" at the end of season eight.

I wanted to know who Ted Mosby's future wife was going to be and thus I have followed the show from Victoria to Zoey to the "cliffhanger girl" at the end of season eight. But now as we have reached the end of this season the comedy has become a bit dull and the pace of the story has become quite slow which disappointed me. There truly isn't much difference between Ted from season one and Ted from season eight. I also like to add that one important introduction scene at the end of season eight could have been placed in any episode throughout the eight seasons and that comes across to me as horrible writing for this character because she should be introduced so casually. Overall season eight was average and sadly the introduction at the end of the season was nowhere as interesting as Ted Mosby's previous love interests but despite that I am sticking with the show because season nine is going to be the last season. To be honest I feel that the show was going strong for me until the end of season six.… Expand

By focusing on trite romantic drama and filler rather than lighthearted humour and steady plot developments, Season 8 of How I Met Your Mother ultimately becomes exhausting than interesting.

Season 8 of How I Met Your Mother was not very good. The storyline is not very interesting and never goes anywhere and the flash forwards become annoying.

The jokes are repetitive and simply not funny...HIMYM should' have ended in the fifth season itself when there was a decline in viewership ratings. Barney has become pathetic which has also contributed for this series to fall as he was the only funny character when the show started
