It's hard to watch a show that you love and come to terms with the fact that maybe it's gone on too long. Without a doubt, HIMYM has a lovable cast continuously, but the basic problem we see this season is that the main character of the show, Ted, is not really the star of the show anymore (or at least midway into the season, it appears so). The show has otherwise jumped back and forth between Marshall and Lily coming to terms about having a family as well as Barney and Robin's tumultuous personal lives. There were only two things that were promising so far have been destroyed just as quickly as they were built up: the first being Ted and Victoria reuniting (which ended anticlimactically in the same episode), while the second was the possibility of Robin having a child with Barney (only for the writers to call the curtains the next episode). As the writers of the show try to avoid conclusions to certain problems, the stories of this group of friends seem more and more unrealistic. While the show's premise of this mystery lady has kept viewers consistently watching over the years, the end is inevitable, so hopefully this show picks up again and brings a great end to what has been an overall great TV series.
