Save Mother!

I just read some sad news if it is true. Monday nights will not be the same. CBS better keep an eye out for Katie coming to get them if it happens.

Is How I Met Your Mother not coming back next season??

I’m in denial even as I write this. Ausiello over at TV Guide has a scoop that appears to be about How I Met Your Mother, although he’s not naming names just yet. He says the comedy may not be renewed because some stuffed suit over at CBS doesn’t get it. Or, to quote Ausiello directly, the bigwig thinks HIMYM “is about as funny as a root canal.” (What?!? You have to be dead if you don’t find Barney funny) I wonder if this is the same decision-maker who keeps renewing The Unit?

Why do I suspect it’s HIMYM? Because Ausiello gives a big hint, saying that the show in question was passed over for a major promotion earlier this season. That sounds an awful lot like how HIMYM got screwed out of the post-Super Bowl slot, doesn’t it? Plus, there hasn’t been any official word about a renewal for HIMYM so even if I’m wrong, it wouldn’t hurt to send some support to the show.

Fans, it may be time for a rally. CBS has a feedback button on the bottom of its homepage where you can flood the network with love for Ted, Robin, Lily, Marshall and Barney.

*UPDATE: Here’s the online petition. (Thanks, e!)

It is true that I do not know anyone who actually watches this show outside of Kline Street but it is very funny and well done and a lot better than 80% of the other crap on TV. CBS will be stupid to let it go I would be shocked if someone else did not pick it up.
