The CBS hit sitcom How
I Met Your Mother, is a series starring Ted Mosby, a young single man
living in New York City, searching for the girl of his dreams. The show begins
with a flash-forward to 2030, where Ted sits in front of his children telling
them the story of how he met their mother. His stories include four other main
characters along the way: Marshall and Lily, his best friends from college who
have been in a relationship since freshman year, Robin, his on and off Canadian
love interest, and Barney, his out-of-box friend. While together, they
encounter an assortment of obstacles with their families, relationships, and
daily life.
The show is now in it’s eighth season, where multiple pieces
of the plot have greatly developed, except for who the mother is. Marshall and
Lily are happily married, living in their original New York City apartment with
their baby, Marvin. Barney and Robin are now engaged and looking to get
married, which due to last season’s finale, the viewer can assume it will be by
the end of this season. The only question left is who is Ted’s wife? We have
seen glimpses of her under an umbrella and of her ankles, but we have never met
her before.
The show was just renewed for their ninth and final season
on CBS. So the question remains, will we find out who the wife will be this
season or next season? In my opinion, I think that they should reveal it this
season because they could lose a lot of viewers if they continue to put it off.
If Barney and Robin do in fact get married at the end of this season, then it
is implied that he will meet his wife following the wedding. I also think this
would be the best option because then the viewer would see Ted and his wife’s
relationship develop for a season rather than at the end of the show.
Overall, I love this show and I am an avid follower of it. I
cannot stop watching it in hopes that we find out who the wife is sooner rather
than later, but I still find it to be a great show.
