…except there was. At least once they’d had multiple seasons under their belt and knew when they wanted to end the show. Before that each season they set it up so Ted’s current gf could have been the mother, in case they got cancelled.
As someone who was watching it live at the time, there was a lot of hype built around who the mother was.
If what you loved about it was the form of storytelling (older protagonist telling a slightly embellished version of real events when he was young), I’d recommend checking Acapulco. Less of the dating, more work drama at a ridiculous 80s resort and they wrapped it up better than I thought they could in 4 seasons. Also, I can never have enough of Don Pablo. The guest gets what the guest wants.

how anyone could give a flying fuck at a rolling donut about this show is beyond me. you know how there are just some things that don’t click? this and big bang… absolute dreck
It’s all a matter of taste and taste is personal. HIMYM I loved, Big Bang was hit and miss and first and then it was just miss. Young Sheldon is honestly better than the original show.
That said, while I loved HIMYM, I think only around the last season did I start caring about who the mother was. It was always about the group of friends and their antics.
TBBT sucked. I watched the first season, but it was clear it was a show that was aimed at nerds, but tremendously missed the mark. It was lowest common denominator humour. Watch an episode on youtube without the laugh track. it’s painful.

I’m not talking about OP’s joke

Acapulco is great! Always love hearing a new Spanish version of 80s classic hit each episode
At the end of the very first episode Robin was called “Aunt Robin”, season 2 was Ted dating Robin, who we already knew wasn’t their mother.

Sure but they where popular shows.
I maintain that Big Bang could have been 6 seasons of a great show but it was 12 of mediocrity.
Its on my lotto list to hire someone to go through and cut out every story arc and joke that doesnt add to the character progression.

I’ll have to agree. And I fucking hated Ted.
