How I Met Your Mother

If you have been an avid fan of How I Met Your Mother, you've probably been as impassioned by the beginning of this season as I have. (Note: if you haven't caught up with the show, you may want to stop reading) The mother has only been seen in the first episode of the season and all we know is that she is basically Ted Mosby in female form. I was ready for the show to end last season and am now ready to just finish this season. I've come too far in the storyline to just stop watching now. We've watched numerous "filler" episodes as they try to stretch the ending as long as possible. I'm sick of these episodes that lead no where. Hopefully the mother is not exactly like Ted; that would make it dull.
What the most irritating thing is that the presence of How I Met Your Mother on social media sites and ads make it seem like the mother is going to appear in every episode. It's inexcusable! It would give me relief if they stopped teasing the mother's appearance if she's not going to be in the upcoming episode.
The first couple seasons are still very pleasant to view when they are on syndication. I wish Netflix and other streaming services would have a random episode feature.
