Why did How I Met Your Mother have two endings? ( Photo Credit – Jio Hotstar)

Many of you are aware of the reason behind the inclusion of the alternate ending of How I Met Your Mother’s DVD box set: it was to appease fans who hated the original conclusion. Over nine seasons, the show built significant character development, and fans felt betrayed when it was all seemingly undone. Robin and Ted were shown time and again to be incompatible, so forcing them back together felt wrong to many viewers.

The hatred toward the original ending largely stemmed from this sense of betrayal. After all, the title of the series is How I Met Your Mother, yet the story ended with the mother dying and Ted getting back together with Robin. As for Barney, his character arc was also undermined. The final season focused heavily on his relationship and marriage with Robin.

Created by Jason Segel, Bill Lawrence, and Brett Goldstein, Shrinking is one of the most beloved and watched shows on Apple TV+. The show, apart from focusing on the importance of mental health, goes on to humanize the medical professionals who are expected to be absolutely fine and take care of their patients. Shrinking is a reality check for those who believe that shrinks are bound to have all the answers and cannot feel the need to do anything for a day.

The show has received massive support and love from the audience and the critics for its storytelling, characters, direction, and performances of the actors involved. Many viewers have specifically mentioned that they admire the fact that the show remains authentic and realistic despite a stellar star cast, adding that the story knows how to stay on the ground. Jason Segel, in an interview, compared the show with his 2008 rom-com.

Jason Segel, the guest on the latest episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast — which was recorded in front of an audience at the inaugural Napa Valley StreamFest, where he was celebrated with the fest’s TV Performance of the Year Award — is only 45, but he has already been a major figure in the American comedy scene for a quarter-century.

Segel made his name on the short-lived but seminal TV series Freaks and Geeks (1999); in hit films like Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008), I Love You, Man (2009) and The Muppets (2011); and over the course of nine seasons on the popular hit sitcom How I Met Your Mother, spanning 2005 through 2014. But a little over a decade ago, in the midst of what he now describes as an “existential crisis,” he rebooted his career.

A different side of Segel first began to emerge in the 2011 dark dramedy Jeff, Who Lives at Home,...

Cameos in movies and TV are supposed to set off fireworks and make the audience excited about the guest star. So when they barely sizzle, it’s painfully obvious, and such was also the case when Carrie Underwood showed up for an episode of Himym (How I Met Your Mother).

Underwood is America’s sweetheart, and we all love her country powerhouse vocals. Many American Idol alums like her have dabbled in acting, but it doesn’t work out for everyone. However, Underwood got lucky the second time when Cobra Kai came in and saved the day.

Kids, the year 2025 marks 20 years of "How I Met Your Mother" (Himym), and despite a contentious finale and claims that the show is now "problematic," its fandom remains fervent. Just as an older Ted Mosby revels in recounting old memories to his two children, so too do fans live to relive every slap bet, "but um," and romantic twist and turn across Ted's near 10-year romantic odyssey in search of the eponymous mother. From newfound success on streaming, a still-active Reddit page with over 350,000 members, to even the occasional Himym-themed wedding, the show's staying power cannot be underestimated.

Case in point: Series star Josh Radnor (present-day Ted) and co-creator Craig Thomas recently launched the show's first official rewatch podcast, "How We Made Your Mother," and the series has already amassed several thousand followers across Instagram, YouTube, and podcasting platforms. In light of them revisiting the entire series, episode by episode,...

No matter how you may feel about the ending of "How I Met Your Mother," there's no questioning the show had a successful nine-season run, and that most of it is infinitely rewatchable even more than a decade after it aired its final episode. The same, however, cannot be said about "How I Met Your Father," the sequel series that abruptly ended after just two seasons and 30 episodes on Hulu. Despite sharing a lot of similarities with the original series, it just didn't connect with audiences in the same way. But when it came to the official reason why "How I Met Your Father" was canceled, it all came down to the usual corporate jargon from streaming companies.

A report from Deadline confirmed in September 2023 that "How I Met Your Father" got the axe on account of "companywide streaming content cuts" at Hulu's parent company, Disney. The story didn't delve further into the specifics,...

Nathan Fillion’s Firefly aired only eleven out of its fourteen episodes when Fox abruptly cancelled the series. The show didn’t have the necessary ratings to justify its budget, but received a cult following after its cancellation. There were calls for its revival, and the actors of the series often got together at Comic Cons to reminisce about their experience.

Firefly was set 500 years into the future, when humans have entered a new star system. The series followed the adventures of a group of misfits aboard the Serenity, a Firefly-class spaceship. This group of nine anti-heroes was led by Fillion’s Malcolm Reynolds.

While a revival rumor is still in the air, the stars of the series have moved on. Nathan Fillion, Morena Baccarin, Gina Torres, and Alan Tudyk have all gone on to build great careers for themselves and are actively part of successful projects. Here’s...

Apple TV+’s Shrinking starring Jason Segel and Harrison Ford is regarded as one of the most beloved shows on the streaming platform. Co-created by Bill Lawrence, Brett Goldstein, and Segel, the show, as the title suggests, is about giving the audience a sneak peek into the lives of shrinks without making it too dramatized or glorifying them.

The series has been one of the favorites on Apple TV+ because of how real and relatable the storyline and the characters in the show are. Shrinking has received a positive response, and its popularity was witnessed when it was renewed for a third season just the next day, when season two premiered. As we dig through season 2 details ahead of season 3, something very interesting came up in regards to the finale episode.

Fans of Wild Cards can finally rejoice, as the police procedural series has been renewed for two more seasons ahead of the Season 2 finale on Wednesday, May 7. However, fans based in the United States may still need to keep an eye on future updates. While the series has received Seasons 3 and 4 renewal in Canada, as announced by CBC Television (via TVLine), the show’s future on The CW — the show’s U.S. home — is still in limbo.

Though Wild Cards is confirmed to be getting two more seasons in Canada, it is still unsure whether the future seasons will air stateside. Considering the show's critical performance, with the first season boasting a hugely impressive 100% Rotten Tomatoes score, its future on The CW may still be looking bright. Unfortunately, since the network has yet to make an announcement, U.S.-based fans should be cautiously optimistic.

Jason Segel is enjoying a career resurgence thanks to Shrinking, the Apple TV+ show he co-created and stars in. But his journey to this creative high point has been anything but highs and lows. Today, he has become a household name as the lovable best friend on a widely popular sitcom, How I Met Your Mother, that lasted for nearly a decade.

But long before the therapist and the best friend, he played a teenager in a short-lived show that barely anyone watched, but everyone remembers. That one season changed everything, now that it became a cult classic, and the show is— Freaks and Geeks.

Long before writing heartfelt monologues about grief or reinventing the therapist sitcom, Jason Segel was a 19-year-old on one of TV’s beloved one-season wonders,...

Multifaceted — that’s the only word that could aptly justify Jason Segel’s genius. He isn’t just one of the most memorable comedy actors in the last two decades. He’s also one of the quietest transformative guys you would come across in this lifetime.

Be it the ever-goofy Marshall Eriksen in Himym, Lakers coach Paul Westhead from Winning Time, or in more recent memory, therapist Jimmy Laird from Shrinking—you could be under the impression that you’re witnessing the same actor behind all the lights, cameras, and action. Well, think again.

The journey from one beloved character to the next wasn’t an accident for Segel. It demanded a deliberate, yet painful, decision that reshaped his path forever.

For eight seasons and 96 episodes, from 2006 to 2013, the series Dexter ran on Showtime, telling the story of Dexter Morgan, a blood spatter analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department who is also a vigilante serial killer. Clyde Phillips was showrunner on Dexter for the first four seasons, and in 2021 he and Showtime brought us the revival series Dexter: New Blood… which, for a time, also seemed to be the end of it all. But that’s not the case. Showtime has tasked Phillips with continue to build up the Dexter franchise, with the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin premiering back in December and a New Blood follow-up called Dexter: Resurrection, which heard was heading for a June premiere date. It’s actually going to miss June by a handful of days, as Showtime has revealed (and trades like The Hollywood Reporter have confirmed) that Dexter: Resurrection is going to premiere with two episodes on Friday,...

Actor Josh Radnor, who played Ted Mosby in all nine seasons of the CBS hit sitcom How I Met Your Mother, realizes that fans had a visceral reaction to his character. He reminisced about his character and the criticism he still gets to this day over Ted’s actions on the show. How I Met Your Mother aired from 2005 to 2014 and also starred Jason Segel, Cobie Smulders, Alyson Hannigan, and Neil Patrick Harris.

Per Entertainment Weekly, during an episode of his podcast, How We Made Your Mother, Radnor said that it wasn’t his fault and that he had no control over the things his character did. “Maybe I’m robbing us of our own mystique or something, but How I Met Your Mother was a really scripted show. That’s why when people want to get mad at me around something Ted did, I was like, ‘Dude, I was...

She played the titular mom on How I Met Your Mother, but is Cristin Milioti a parent in real life?

That’s a question on the minds of many fans these days, thanks to a mysterious new photo making the rounds on social media.

The image — which was posted by the indie rock band Bon Iver — shows Cristin standing alongside the band’s lead singer, Justin Vernon, who is holding a baby.

A post shared by Bon Iver (@boniver)

For obvious reasons, the family portrait-style pic has led to rumors that Cristin and Justin have welcomed a child together.

Did Cristin Milioti welcome a child with Justin Vernon?

As it turns out, the image is merely a preview of the photo book that accompanies the band’s most recent album, Sable, fABLE.

So no, Cristin does not have a child by Justin.

Josh Randor is separating himself from the Ted Mosby hate.

The 50-year-old actor, who played the lead role in the hit sitcom How I Met Your Mother from 2005-2014, commented on the amount of backlash he receives from fans over his character’s questionable behavior in the dating world.

“Maybe I’m robbing us of our own mystique or something, but How I Met Your Mother was a really scripted show. That’s why when people want to get mad like around something Ted did, I was like, ‘Dude, I was contractually obligated to do those things. This is my job,’” he said on a recent episode of the “How We Made Your Mother” podcast.

When Cobie Smulders and Jason Segel reunited on the sets of Shrinking on Apple TV+, fans were in for a nostalgic treat. After their long-running cult classic show, How I Met Your Mother, where they were seen as platonic friends Robin and Marshall, now took a surprising turn in the season finale of Shrinking season 2, where they teased the “Impossible”.

Shrinking has been one of Apple TV+’s most interesting series with subtle nuances from real-life therapist’s life. With Season 3 on the cards, Segel has hinted towards a deeper exploration of their dynamic.

Is there romance on the cards for Marshall and Robin?

In the hit series Himym, Robin and Marshall even though shared a close bond, it was strictly platonic. With Robin exploring romantic liaisons with Ted and Barnie and Marshall being committed to Lily throughout the show, Marshal and Robin were never even a possibility.

Cobie Smulders...

How I Met Your Mother had certain characters that became fan favorites. One of those characters was Barney Stinson. Played by Neil Patrick Harris, the character was known for attempting to pick up women until he fell in love with Robin Scherbatsky, played by Cobie Smulders. Now, on the latest episode of How We Made Your Mother, hosts Josh Radnorand creator Craig Thomas spoke about the third episode of the series where Barney forces Ted (Radnor) to go with him to the airport so he can pick up women.

On the episode, Thomas shared that writers Phil Lord and Chris Miller of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse fame took the idea of Barney being almost cartoonish and "ran with it." Thomas said “They just ran with ‘make it a cartoon.’" But it meant that we got to see a side of Barney that we hadn't yet seen: Just how desperate...

How I Met Your Mother. A great series. Friends was good for its time and a pop culture phenomenon. While both shows are iconic sitcoms, the premise, characters, and storylines were quite different… except for one thing.

Gaslighting, i.e., to manipulate someone into questioning their own sanity or reasoning. The two shows had a problem with gaslighting their audiences, and every couple who is watching the show should never do this one particular thing.

Being friends with your ex – Friends edition

It’s a common thing that people often do. Staying friends with your ex has been a controversial case ever since Plato’s time (it’s true!), and although there are always differing perspectives on this matter, it is generally not considered a good idea.

Sitcoms often tend to ignore when it comes to confronting their leads’ flaws, even in the most extreme cases like Two and a Half Men. But unlike Two and a Half Men, which mostly played off Charlie’s problematic antics for laughs, How I Met Your Mother opted to shake up this trend within season 1.

In a bold move, the Himym writers presented Ted in a villainous light in episode 4 of season 1, Return of the Shirt. Despite the risk involved, they were thrilled, and producer Kourtney Kang elaborates on why this was needed.

The remarkable thing about Varnell Hill, the just-announced sitcom starring Tommy Davidson, isn’t that it’s a spin-off of Martin Lawrence’s hit comedy Martin. The crazy part is that it took nearly 30 years to bring Davidson’s character back, almost assuredly setting a record for the most time passed between an original sitcom and its spin-off. That’s not how it usually works — networks strike while the iron is hot, using the popularity of Happy Days to launch Laverne & Shirley, for example. That makes Varnell Hill a rare phenomenon, although a few other comedy spin-offs come close…

1 The Conners

Okay, this one shouldn’t really count. The Conners is actually a rebranding of a Roseanne-free Roseanne, which was a reboot, not a spin-off, of the original. It’s like saying Fuller House is a spin-off because it focuses on the Tanner kids, even though any reasonable viewer would call it a continuation.

Michael C. Hall is back and more brutal than ever in the official first set of images for Dexter: Resurrection. It’s been a few years since we’ve seen the actor in the role that won him a Golden Globe Award and even longer since fans were happy with where the plot was going. Hopefully, the sequel series will follow in the successful steps of the recently released prequel series, Dexter: Original Sin, and give longtime viewers what they’ve been waiting for. Blending a lineup of new and old faces alike, the debut photos showcase the characters the titular vigilante serial killer will cross paths with when the show arrives later this year.

Lindsay Lohan has boarded “Count My Lies,” a drama series in development at Hulu based on the novel of the same name, as star and executive producer. The project is being written by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, best known for their work on NBC’s “This Is Us.”

If greenlit, “Count My Lies” will mark Lohan’s first lead role in a TV series. She will play wealthy mother Violet. The official logline for the series reads, “When compulsive liar Sloane Caraway fibs her way into a nanny position for the gorgeous and charismatic Violet and Jay Lockhart, it seems she’s finally landed her dream job. But little does Sloane know, she’s just entered a household brimming with secrets that are about to explode — with potentially catastrophic consequences for all.”

Exclusive: In her first TV series starring role, Lindsay Lohan is set to headline and executive produce Count My Lies, a drama in development at Hulu.

In 1996, David Cronenberg introduced audiences to Crash, a psychological drama about a car crash victim who finds himself turned on by car accidents and becomes involved in a sub-culture of like-minded souls. It’s a terrifying premise, and today, filmmaker Jason Buxton gives us another car accident-obsessed individual in the trailer and poster for Sharp Corner, an upcoming thriller starring Ben Foster and Cobie Smulders.

Jason Buxton directs and writes Sharp Corner. It follows Josh McCall(Ben Foster), a troubled man increasingly consumed by the fatal car crashes in front of his house. As Josh’s obsession takes hold, he begins to spiral, placing his wife, Rachel Davis-McCall (Cobie Smulders), and son, Max (William Kosovic), in jeopardy and setting in motion a series of events that threaten to break the family apart permanently.

9-1-1 fans are still mourning the end of Lone Star, but there is plenty reason to be excited about the future of the franchise. The flagship show is still going strong, and now, plans for a second spinoff in Nashville are underway. The spinoff will premiere during the 2025-26 season, and if we're basing our excitement solely on the cast, this will be one of the best shows of the fall.

Deadline confirmed that 9-1-1: Nashville has added Jessica Capshaw to its main cast. Capshaw is best known to television fans as Arizona Robbins, the doctor she played on nine seasons of Grey's Anatomy.

Jim Parsons’ early days on the block, as it happens with budding actors, were filled only with appearances in a handful of commercials and some indie films. Mainstream success seemed like a distant dream until 2007, when The Big Bang Theory would change everything. Now, he’s become one of the richest actors on TV.

Parsons found his love for performing at an early age – his first major acting moment was playing the Kola-Kola bird in a school production of The Elephant Child.

Are you ready for it? Black Mirror season 7 dropped on Thursday, April 10, and it is again great. You might have even taken the day off from work to stream the series, which is only six episodes long.

In other words, you could call off work, take a long weekend, watch the new season of your favorite show, and still have lots of time left to watch something else. Sounds like a wonderful weekend, doesn't it?

But before you delve into season 7, here are some familiar faces you will see during the season. A few of them were from previous seasons. Some others are brand new.

Here are some of the familiar faces you will see in Netflix's Black Mirror season 7AwkwafinaPlays Kimmy in "Hotel Reverie"

Her character owns a company that has Redream software. The system is designed to place current Hollywood stars in older films, giving the flick a fresh appeal.

The Penguin quickly became one of the most acclaimed DC series (and titles in general), winning Colin Farrell an Emmy for the titular role and earning Cristin Milioti an Emmy nomination for the role of Sofia Falcone, which she should have won. It's not the only series that Milioti has starred in which has a rabid and vocal fan base (and let's not even get into How I Met Your Mother). Black Mirror, which just released its seventh season, has its own divided fandom, and so does Star Trek, the franchise that Black Mirror parodies in the episode "USS Callister" and its new Season 7 sequel, "USS Callister: Into Infinity," in which Milioti stars as Nanette Cole.

While it doesn't seem like the stunning Milioti has been on the receiving end of many toxic fans, she is nonetheless aware of the pros and cons of fandom and shared her thoughts with Matt Mahler of MovieWeb.

The upcoming episode of “Penn & Teller: Fool Us,” titled “The Eight Stooges,” promises to be an exciting showcase of magic and entertainment. This episode will air on Pix, and it features a lineup of talented magicians ready to impress the audience and the iconic duo, Penn and Teller.

Among the featured magicians is Jack Kelly, known for his engaging performances and clever tricks. He has a unique style that blends humor with magic, making his acts memorable. Viewers can expect some surprising moments as he takes the stage.

Mortenn Christiansen is another magician set to perform. He brings a fresh perspective to magic with his innovative techniques and captivating storytelling. His ability to connect with the audience adds an extra layer of excitement to his performances.

Robin Sheikh will also be showcasing his skills in this episode.

Controversial exits, shock values, and getting written off the script were common practices in the 2000s when shows like Criminal Minds and NCIS were airing on live television.

As a result, several fan-favorite characters would end up getting killed or written out of the script for certain reasons. Well, I still hold a grudge against NCIS for killing a character in season 8 of the show.

You really know it when you’re in love with a character and they aren’t even a part of the main cast (like Doug Judy from Brooklyn Nine-Nine or The Mother from How I Met Your Mother). Something similar happened with an iconic actor who appeared in a plethora of guest appearances on NCIS.

There are countless movies about finding one’s biological parents and then realizing that the search is not as important as cherishing the people around you. Mamma Mia! is probably the most popular example of this trope. In Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Imran’s trip to Spain was all about meeting his actual father after the demise of his stepfather. Supernatural had a running gag where it seemed like every kid out there was trying to figure out if Dean Winchester was their dad because, well, Dean was a promiscuous fellow. Although How I Met Your Mother wasn’t exactly about searching for the mother of Ted Mosby’s children, it kind of was for the audience, because every episode of every season was about figuring out who the titular character was. The recently-released The Life List had Alex looking for her biological dad. Yeah, so it’s safe to...

When it comes to sitcoms set in New York City, more often than not, the major location where characters have most of their interactions is in an apartment building. Sometimes, in the case of "Friends," the apartment is such a signature location that Lego sets have been produced recreating it. A year after "Friends" ended, a sitcom featuring a new group of friends in New York City aired on CBS, "How I Met Your Mother."

Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor), the protagonist of "How I Met Your Mother," lives alone in his Manhattan apartment for much of the series. Although the tenants would change throughout its entire nine-season run (which /Film has ranked from best to worst), the apartment was often the hub in which Ted and his friends would share some of their most memorable moments.

Believe it or not, How I Met Your Mother once featured Taylor Sheridan’s wife, and almost no one remembers. Nicole Muirbrook popped up in a blink-and-you-will-miss-it role, and yep, that’s the same Nicole who’s now married to the Yellowstone mastermind.

She wasn’t a major player, just a one-off character lost in the chaos of bar nights and blue French horns. But now? Total trivia gold.

Before Taylor Sheridan became the king of Yellowstone, his wife, Nicole Muirbrook, made a blink-and-you-will-miss-it cameo in How I Met Your Mother. Back in Season 3, Episode 12 — the “No Tomorrow” chaos — Muirbrook showed up as a mysterious woman Ted briefly encountered during his wild St. Patrick’s Day spiral (via Vulture).

To kickstart their very Mission: Impossible focused CinemaCon presentation, Paramount first debuted the official trailer for their upcoming action-comedy The Naked Gun, a movie they are cheekily describing as "The single most important Naked Gun movie since the other Naked Gun movies."
