How I Met Your Mother: Why it should end–

I adore How I Met Your Mother. But it is time for it to end…Here’s why…

It knows it’s time:

Friends in season 7 knew it, audiences didn’t want to face it. Scrubs knew it, the writer’s blew it. Frasier suspected it, as did Cheers.

Glory Daze, Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared didn’t get a chance to achieve it, and Community looks like it’s going to be denied it…What are we talking about, conclusion.

How I Met Your Mother had an end date, like many of it’s character’s relationships. Season one knew it, as did two and they we’re awesome. Three forgot it, but four and five reminded it that the end was approaching. Six denied it and it was shit, but seven is accepting it. Eight should therefore be the last– valuing it.

But if you, like me, initially hesitated about watching this television programme, hesitate no longer. Hopefully this post will urge you to give it a try.
