When I read that piece of news, I got paralysed. It was looking straight into Medusa's eyes. I mean, "How I Met Your Dad"? Seriously? SRSLY?

Ok, from all the series I talked about during my sitcom presentation, How I Met Your Mother definitely is my favourite one. If I remember correctly I even did a blog post on it some time ago. There are many reasons why I fell in love with that series. The characters are AWESOME (I'm practically identical to Ted Mosby... oh yeah, Barney's cool as well), the story is insanely addicting (We all want to know who the **** the mother is, don't we? ... Yeah, I'm having a déjà-vu as well) and the humour is great, I still laugh after seeing the same episodes many times.
But nothing on this planet justifies, and when I say NOTHING I mean NOTHING, a completely unnnecessary offshoot NOBODY wants. Well, at least I don't want it and since my gene structure seems to be an almost perfect match to the sitcom's protagonist's, my word is law.
I can understand the producers; they want to make more money, they're sad because soon How I Met Your Mother will be departed, they want to make more money, they still have many ideas for new amazingly funny love stories, they want to make more money...
But in my opinion, you have to know when the fun's over. Everything perishes one day. The essential thing about art is that it's immortal because it leaves a certain impression on the people's mind. Because it touches our hearts and souls. And yes, I'm calling an American sitcom a piece of art... It's... modern art. It can have any possible shape, you know. Anyway, it loses its appeal if you practice grave desecration. Trying to keep alive a patient who has long had their best times and who's prepared to die... Just learn to let go of the things that are over!
The point is, when you created a great series which was already nine seasons long (quite some time for a love story...), then don't go and begin another with the same pattern giving it such an obvious title like "How I Met Your Dad". Oh dear, the jumpiness I felt the moment I heard about the producer's plans... I hope they reject their plans before things get too serious. It would be a shame if they actually released the spinoff and ended up dropping it. That would be an unsatisfying end for a very good series...
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnghhhh...
Well, let's look on the bright side of life. At least I've learnt three new words thanks to that article:
