The Entirety of How I Met Your Mother Season 9 Will Take Place Over the Course of One Weekend
15 May 2013 1:31 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Leading up to this year’s game-changing season finale of the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother, creators/showrunners Carter Bays and Craig Thomas had been teasing that the ninth and final season would see the show’s narrative take a dramatic shift. Well, following the events of the season eight finale, we now have confirmation of just what kind of shift is taking place and it’s a rather curious move on Bays and Thomas’ part. Hit the jump to read on, but beware that there are spoilers for those who have somehow managed to remain unaware of what happened in the season eight finale. So, in this year’s finale Bays and Thomas finally fessed up and revealed the show’s titular mother. It wasn’t someone that Ted has crossed paths with previously, but was instead an entirely new character played by actress Cristin Milioti. We »

TV Review: ‘The Goodwin Games’
15 May 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Remember “Ben & Kate,” the sweet little comedy about oddball siblings Fox aired — and pretty quickly canceled — earlier this season? Turns out the network developed a logical single-camera companion to the show, which should provide small comfort to “The Goodwin Games,” a series from the creators of “How I Met Your Mother” being rather conspicuously burned off in the summer heat. Mildly charming but exceptionally thin, it makes it hard to fault Fox for its lack of faith. So let the “Games” begin, but don’t expect many to wind up carrying a torch for it.
The series hinges on a trio of completely unbelievable siblings, reunited by the death of their father (Beau Bridges, in full mad-scientist mode). As if plucked from “Gilligan’s Island,” they include a buttoned-up doctor (Scott Foley), an actress (“Ugly Betty’s” Becki Newton) and a nincompoop thief (T.J. Miller) freshly paroled from prison.

Watch the First Episode of The Goodwin Games
15 May 2013 6:45 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Last year, Fox picked up a comedy from How I Met Your Mother creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas called The Goodwin Games. It starred Scott Foley (now hunking it up on Scandal), Becki Newton (most recently Barney's stripper ex-fiancée Quinn on Himym), and Jack Lacy (Pete on The Office) as siblings whose father died, and instead of a will left them a bizarre competition pitting them against each other and against other contestants. This comedy then sat around for a year. A year! Tj Miller (a sitcom utility player and host of Comedy Central's Mash Up) replaced Lacy, and now — after an eternity in TV time — Fox is finally dusting it off. The show will officially air May 20, but the whole pilot is online now. It's cute! Not earth-shatteringly so, but certainly watchably so. »

I already reviewed the "How I Met Your Mother" season finale last night, but I have some morning-after thoughts — including words from Carter Bays — on what the episode means for the show's final season, coming up just as soon as we watch a movie that doesn't start with a desk lamp jumping on top of a capital I...

Yep, folks, we finally met the mother: Tonight’s How I Met Your Mother revealed actress Cristin Milioti as the show’s titular — and, until now, extremely elusive — character.
The unveiling took place in the final few seconds of the season 8 finale, as Milioti’s yet-unnamed character simply walked up to a Long Island Rail Road ticket booth to purchase one ticket to the fictional Farhampton, presumably to go play in the band at the impending nuptials between Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) and Robin (Cobie Smulders). The show didn’t exactly spell out the reveal (casual fans could have missed »
