Episodes
In the opening episode of the sixth series of How I Met Your Mother, Ted and Barney argue about who has "dibs" on asking out a beautiful woman. Ted realises that the girl in question is out with Cindy (a girl he previously dated, who is also the roommate of his future wife). Meanwhile, Robin is heartbroken over Don and Marshall can't keep quiet about his desire to start a family.
When Barney convinces the gang to help his mum move houses, they quickly learn that she has been very protective towards Barney and has told white lies about events throughout his life, including his father's true identity. Elsewhere, Ted gets upset when Robin oversells him to a blind date.
When Ted declines Barney's offer to design the new GNB building, Barney ties to woo him by using his best womanising tactics. Meanwhile, Robin drunk-dials Don in a desperate attempt to win him back.
The gang race against each other to get to a restaurant where Woody Allen has been spotted using different methods of transport. Who will get there first?
Ted is in a quandry after meeting an activist Zoey who wants to save a landmark building that is to be torn down, and be replaced by the new GNB building, that Ted is, unbeknownst to her, designing.
Lily and Marshall visit their friends Claudia and Stuart who have just had a baby only to discover that the couple haven't yet named the baby because they can't agree on a name. Prompted by this, Marshall and Lily to discuss potential baby names and soon realise they can't agree on a name either. Meanwhile, Marshall confides in Ted that he worries about having a daughter and Robin has issues with her new colleague Becky who speaks like an 8-year-old girl.
Marshall is guilt-ridden after firing his incompetent assistant. Elsewhere, Zoey enrolls in Ted's class and manipulates his students into taking her side in the fight to save the Arcadian building from being torn down by GNB.
When the gang attends a black-tie fundraiser at the Natural History Museum, Ted runs into Zoey, and sees a whole different side to her when she introduces him to her husband, the Captain. Later, Marshall and Lily argue over his career path and Barney makes a shocking discovery.
Lily can't stop talking about babies and it's putting a strain on her relationship with Robin; Barney finds a copy of the Canadian children's programme Space Teens starring Robin's alter-ego 'Robin Sparkles' and when Lily finds out that co-star Jessica Glitter was Robin's best friend until they had a falling out, she decides to find out what went wrong.
Ted leaves early on a night out because he's preparing the Thanksgiving feast the following day. When Ted wakes up the next day, the rest of the gang - and Zoey, who they've now befriended - are at his flat and boasting about the incredible night they had. But when a broken oven forces them to take up Zoey's offer of Thanksgiving at her house, it isn't long before Ted and she are back at loggerheads.

Critic Reviews for How I Met Your Mother Season 6

This season has frustrated me with its tonal inconsistencies and occasionally clunky writing, but I still love the cast and the concept, and I still very much enjoy hanging out with these characters.
All in all, a solid opening episode. But even if it wasn't, it's a brand-new season, which means we are - until further notice - on a moratorium from complaining about this show.
The juxtaposition of those two images-the successful conception of a new life, and the destruction of an old building-is apt for a finale that embraces a lot of the oddness of this season and tries to find productive ways to build on the paradoxes.
There were both good story arcs and individual episodes this season, and on the whole I do think it was a notable improvement from season 5.
"Big Days" felt like a fantastic step forward, while effortlessly reminding us of all the great things How I Met Your Mother has to offer.

Oct 14, 2015It was a bit 'other' than any other season, because nearly no comedy factor. A season full of drama through out the whole season. Mostly a joke came like this: Someone has a problem, the gang solves it, and then someone makes a joke that is so out of context and no sense, that it isn't funny. But the drama in the season was just great. Every story began at the premiere episode and ended at the final episode. Which was a nice anecdote. My personal favorite was the story with Barney and his dad, because I'm growing up without dad also, I nearly cried when Barney 'stole' the basketball basket. The whole season was like one big highlight, that was so realistic, because the actors are all working really great together. But 'just' 9/10, 'cause the missed their origin

Mar 20, 2015It's a shame when the best episodes of a show's season are both its first and last episode. HIMYM Season 6 practically opened 'guns blazing', only to simmer down and dwell on somewhat melodrama. It wasn't until the end where it delivered great reveals...and along the way still had a few laughable, good time episodes here and there.

Nov 21, 2014IN episode 10 which is Blitezgiving, Ted left his friends to prepare for the Thanksgiving Day. Then, Blitz's curse moved from Steve who?s knowing as "Blitz" to Ted. Blitz's curse comes to a person when he or she leaves his or her friends to do something. It started from a person called Matt Blitz, then moved to different people through different generations. A Blitz person always says "awwww maaaaan" when his or her friends tell him or her about the great things they have done. Usually, great things happen when the person who knowing as "Blitz" leaves the place. Ted became Blitz in his group but not for a long time because Barney left his friends next day when they were looking for a place to spend the thanksgiving in. At the end, Steve became Blitz again.

May 05, 2014Season six is a dramatic improvement from seasons four and five. It follows Ted and Zoey's roller-coaster of a relationship while Ted designs a new building, Marshall's dad dies and he starts a new job, and Barney meets his dad and chases after Nora. More happens in this season than the previous two combined. Season six (aside from the first two seasons) is probably my favorite. In addition to everything that happens, there is more emotional content jammed into this season than any other, and it's absolutely loaded with some of the best episodes HIMYM has to offer (Big Days, Last Words, Bad News, Landmarks, Glitter, Hopeless, Challenge Accepted, Legendaddy). There are a few below average episodes mixed in, but for the most part, this season is incredible. Though I hate Zoey's character with a burning passion, somehow she just happens to be right in the middle of some of the best episodes of the show. Regardless, season six of HIMYM is incredible. Watch it. Oh, and in the season premiere Big Days, we get our first glimpse of Barney's wedding day, a day we knew was important, but probably didn't realize just how important it was until three years later.
