Yeah that would make sense. Were most fans pro Robin/Barney? When that relationship started getting serious is when I tuned out. Never bought into that all that much.

I wouldn't say that most fans were "pro Robin/Barney". But it did seem like a logical plot direction that was worth exploring.

Found one right here.
I guess I'm strange and all, but if (God forbid) anything should happen to my wife, I'm set. I will have had many happy years with my true love and will devote the rest of my own years to her and her memory, as well as to our two children. I can't speak for my wife, though - she's much more likely to eventually remarry if something should happen to me.
Anyway, I have no idea just how unusual my attitude is, but it definitely causes me to get annoyed by an ending like this. Heck, it's the reason I never liked Braveheart. His affair with the other chick ruined the whole feel of the movie for me, especially the scene near the end where he sees his wife.

I refuse to believe that the crappy finale of HIMYM didn't have something to do with this.
'How I Met Your Mother' spinoff: 'Didn't work out'
By Lynette Rice on May 14, 2014 at 9:47AM@ewlynette
One of the most glaring omissions from CBS’ fall schedule is How I Met Your Dad, the much-talked about spinoff of CBS’ long-running comedy. But CBS topper Nina Tassler told reporters Wednesday that “things on the pilot didn’t work out” and the producers can now shop it elsewhere.
The hope was to retool the comedy pilot but the producers weren’t interested in returning to the drawing table. The comedy pilot starred Greta Gerwig as Sally, who gradually reveals how she met her partner in flashback. It’s from writers/exec producers Emily Spivey and HIMYM creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas.
“We have an extraordinary track record of retooling shows,” said Tassler, who referred to The Big Bang Theory, Numb3rs and this year’s The McCarthys — which started out last development season as a single-camera comedy and returns this fall as a multi-cam — as recent examples. “We tried to reach out and engage them about redoing the pilot, but that it’s just not happening. You run into these kinds of issues. You hope they can resolve themselves. They haven’t.
“I’m heartsick,” Tassler continued. “It wasn’t what they wanted to do.”

CBS only ordered two new comedies for the 2014-15 season — The Odd Couple with Matthew Perry and The McCarthys with Laurie Metcalf. In The Odd Couple, Perry plays slob Oscar Madison and Thomas Lennon is neat freak Felix Unger. They are two former college buddies who become unlikely roommates after the demise of their marriages.
The McCarthys, which also stars Jack McGee, Tyler Ritter and Joey McIntyre, is about a sports-crazed Boston family.

There is a resolution to the Pineapple Incident! In a DVD extra, they show how Ted gets the pineapple.
I wish they would have left it a mystery, that was pretty lame <_<

I've lost interest in watching the reruns. 75% of the show was based around a love triangle, and now that we know that the ENTIRE love triangle was COMPLETELY DOOMED, it's no longer entertaining to watch them going through motions. It's like the entire show was one big tease, and the payoff was so disappointing that it ruined everything that came before it.

Here you go, it is way way better. I try to think of this as the true finale.

I want one, but I'm not creative
Better. But I wonder what they would have done with the rest of the life recap. Still refuse to ever watch anther rerun of this show.

It looked like it was just edited to cut the Robin ending, which would have made the final episode half as long. I'd be curious to see the real alternate endings I've heard that supposedly exist. I'm with you on not being able to watch the re-runs. The show feels much different since the finale and I don't care for it anymore. It used to be one of my favorites.
