I feel so frustrated with the show! I have to watch because I've gone this far with the show. Sometimes I think they are taking advantage of fans like me dragging the id of the mom out

) I can't stop watching!
Re: HIMYM- Frustrated
I honestly do not care who Ted ends up with, he is my least favorite character.
I watch for Barney's antics, Marshall and Lily, and Robin.
we will not meet the mother until the end of this season at the soonest, and possibly not until next season.

This is pretty much exactly how I feel. I don't mind not knowing who the mother is - I've thought from the get-go that we wouldn't find out till the very end, and I'm ok with it. But the storylines just aren't as good, and I am starting to get annoyed with Ted. And I don't think pregnancy does anything for a sitcom, ever, besides bring it down.
I think Lily's pregnancy isn't shoehorned into the series, like a lot of other sitcoms seem to do when they're just out of ideas ... Marshall and Lily are in a natural stage in their relationship to have a baby, it's a bright spot in their lives after Marshall's dad's death, and the show is about the gang moving ahead in life so it's normal for the only married couple to have a baby.
But I don't think they're using it all that great as a storyline. Not just yet, anyway. Maybe as she progresses they'll do more with it.
Agreed with PP - I watch more for Lilly and Marshall then Ted and the mother.
I thought last nights episode was also lackluster at best.
The character that is totally annoying me though is Robyn - she's looking way too pathetic.
Also - I don't like Barnie with a girlfriend - I like him acting like a player - that's the character we've all grown to love!
This! Ted is annoying, but Robin has been annoying me a LOT this season!
Marshall's my favorite. I don't think I've ever been displeased with any of his storylines.
Jason Segel is hilarious. Watch some of the HIMYM outtakes on YouTube sometime ... he and Neil Patrick Harris are great.
Very true. I actually think that Segel has transcended the show at this point. I read this interview with him where he seems to be hinting at being bored with the show:
"But when your idol is Peter Sellers, playing one character for eight years isn't what you're trying to do. I don't really feel like I have that much more to offer with this character. Maybe if we got divorced or something?but that's not gonna happen. It's gonna be some iteration of, like, my TV wife opens the fridge, and she's like, "What happened to the birthday cake?" And I walk in with a little frosting here [points to corner of mouth] like, "What birthday cake?"

Us too. We gave up on Ted awhile ago. We can relate better to Lily/Marshall anyway.

I hope next season is the last one. I think they have time to wrap it all up pretty nicely before then, and it's going to get stale and lame(r) if they go to Season 9+.
And this makes me wonder if the actors would even AGREE to additional seasons if it were offered to them. The creators are stuck with these five characters because they've shown them in flash-forwards, so it's not like they can kill off Marshall in 2013 if Jason Segal won't sign up for more seasons (since they've shown Marshall as a middle-aged and elderly man several times).
I think the only person they haven't shown in flash-forwards is Barney, aside from that exploding meatball sub thing 10 years in the future. Have they ever shown Robin in a flash-forward aside from that one? Wasn't she on the front porch with the elderly Lily, Marshall and Ted?
