I feel like this is said about How I Met Your Mother at the end of every season, but seriously, when are we going to meet this mother?!?! How much longer can this show possibly continue on without the mother becoming a part of the story? It's now FIVE seasons, FIVE years without meeting the mother. At this point we know she has a bright-colored umbrella, likes the same music as Ted, plays the bass guitar, has a really hot roommate (Rachel Bilson) and I think we saw her toes in one episode.
FIVE years.
Next season will be year 6. Ted's love life pre-mother is just getting boring and played out. Robin and Barney, Robin and Ted, Robin and anyone -- played out. Barney as a man whore, Barney pining over Robin -- played out. Lily and Marshall being cute -- well, that can continue. But even that will get old at some point. And perhaps Lily will spend part of next season preggerz, but that's only 2 out of 5 of the main characters having a storyline that goes somewhere, while the 6th (title) character hasn't even shown up! If they don't hurry and start moving this show and its storyline forward, I really do think I'm going to have to call it quits. :( And I really don't want to call it quits!
SO C'MON, I WANT TO MEET THE FRIGGIN' MOTHER!

you know, you really don't need to put the "M:" in front of your post titles. i can tell almost immediately who wrote each post just by the writing style. it's fun :)
It's kind of ironic, now that the show is no longer "on the bubble" it's gotten pretty bad. I feel like at this point they could introduce the mother and still have plenty of story to tell but I wonder if the writers/producers are worried that they won't find the right actress or that the mother character won't actually fit in with the rest of the cast. The characters have been together for 5 years so bringing in someone new and so important like the mother HAS to go well...
