Just so glad. **** eight years of development for three characters and negate probably the most successful aversion of a Ted McGinely-situation with the delightful addition of Cristin Milioti to the show amirite?

I just can't come up with any way to have ended any series worse than they did that one.
I mean what's the comp? Danny Tanner goes to prison because he's secretly been molesting Michelle for years? Carl Winslow was actually a rogue cop "Training Day" style and ends up killing Urkle to avoid a Russian Mob hit? Han Solo and Luke Skywalker become sallow husks of themselves and die in needlessly trivial ways in service of getting them out of the way for some stock younger models who have no charisma to speak of and an unbelievably trite storyline?
Seriously - I can sit here and try to make up ludicrously bad endings to beloved characters/shows/franchises that are still not quite as bad as HIMYM knowing full well that NOBODY would ever be that stupid....right?
