Tweet 140: HIMYM FareWTF

The Tweet:

I should have taken a lesson from @MattMira and just never watched the #HIMYMFinale.

I’ll try to keep this spoiler-free, but if you’ve been anywhere online since Monday night, I’m sure you’ve come across some angst about the way How I Met Your Mother ended the series.

To be fair, I can’t really say there is a way that would have been able to conclude this rambling, organic, whimsical show without upsetting someone, but what CBS aired this week was at best a poor-man’s M. Night Shyamalan version of how to end a sitcom. I started to wonder if J.J. Abrams wandered onto the set at some point and the producers couldn’t figure out how to shove him away before he pulled a LOST and make the final episode change your whole opinion of the show.

Considering that the final sequence was actually filmed in 2005, you could’ve done better, gentlemen.
