How I Met Your Mother season 9
List of episodes
"Last Forever" is the series finale of the American sitcom television series How I Met Your Mother. The episode, written by series creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas and directed by Pamela Fryman, serves as the 23rd and 24th episodes of the ninth season, and the 207th and 208th episodes overall; the episode's two parts are classified as two separate episodes. It originally aired in the United States on CBS on March 31, 2014, and was watched by 13.13 million viewers in the United States.[1]
"Last Forever" received a polarized response from television critics and fans of the show alike, primarily in regard to the final twist ending, the relationship between Ted and Robin, and the fate of the series' titular mother.[2] Many viewers expressed considerable disdain for the disregard for character development and said the episode rendered the whole season pointless, while some praised it for tying up loose ends; an alternate ending would later be included in the ninth season's home media release.[3][4][5][6]
