Tv Season Info

Series 7 of the sitcom opens with a flash-forward to Barney's (Neil Patrick Harris) wedding, but it's not revealed who his future bride will be. Back in 2011, Ted (Josh Radnor) continues his quest for love, and Robin (Cobie Smulders) realises that she still has feelings for Barney. Meanwhile, Marshall (Jason Segel) and a pregnant Lily (Alyson Hannigan) prepare for the arrival of their firstborn child. Katie Holmes has a memorable guest appearance when Series 1's Slutty Pumpkin returns.

Critic Reviews for How I Met Your Mother Season 7

All Critics (9) | Top Critics (4)

It might be one of the happiest shows on television, and I continue to be grateful for that.

While the big twist presents as either shocking or predictable given your outlook, the writers still have plenty of time to write through this one, and the episode getting there was more than heartwarming enough to forgive it.

Season seven is an unfortunate step back, and you can't help but feel that time is running out on the series.

Brent McKnight

There were laughs, there was momentum and there were many reasons given to stay tuned for the rest of the year to see how everything is going to turn out.

We return from a mixed bag of a season with a mixed bag of a premiere, and a slightly better second episode.

Alan Sepinwall

Something tells me the twists upon twists, the dramatic reveals, the surface mystery connected to the flash-forward wedding and of course to the eternally-delayed titular mother, are not really meant to be enough for us. The trick will continue to unfold.

It's sometimes difficult to watch a precious show walk with turtle-steps towards its finish line.

The brilliant minds behind How I Met Your Mother could have left us dangling for the summer in all sorts of ways, but after watching last night's hour long finale, I repeat: I can't complain.

"Mystery vs. History" wasn't the funniest episode of How I Met Your Mother so far this season, that's still "The Ducky Tie," but it could prove to be a major transition for the series.

    I didn't really like this season even if it has one or two decent episodes and a few laughs.

    The Show's Seventh Season was emotional roller coaster full of twist and turns making it the greatest season of the show

    DAFUQ? Why? Ok, first the positive part: Barney had an interesting and tensioned lovelife, Lilymouse and Marshmallow are parents now, Robin is a star in the newsworld and she has a destroyed lovelife + she knows she will never have children and Ted.... Ted's lovelife did nothing until the last episode. My favorite story was the story between Robin + Kevin, innovate, creative, good actors and an amazingly high funfactor, when they combined the plot with Barney's story it was just one of the best TV-Storylines of all time. One really big contra point in it, no fun (except^^). It was just one big good story, except of Ted, who was boring and hilarious as fuck. And the season finale, was by far my biggest rage in the series this far. The spoilered the complete next season with every character. Marshall & Lily = are there for Marvin, Robin = will be with Barney, Barney & Quinn = ahh, such a cool story, tried to give more tension, with a cliffhanger, and then completly killing the 'tension'. Ted is working his list of ex-girlfriends again or what? Ahh, it just was annoying, 7/10, one big negative part and a bad, bad, bad ending, just killed it.

    Season 7 of HIMYM was doomed from the get-go when casting issues required script rewrites across the board. It doesn't help the fact either that everything happening throughout the season ultimately amounts to nothing. The season premiere means nothing, the following episodes mean nothing, heck...even the 150th episode means nothing. It's a whole season that can practically be skipped over...which is a shame, truly.

    The jokes in this season become kind of corny, and the relationships are boring.

    Season seven is a disappointment (for HIMYM standards). There are some good overarching plots throughout the season, such as Barney and Nora's relationship, Robin and Kevin's relationship, Lily's pregnancy, and Barney's relationship with Quinn after Robin didn't return his affection. There are a few truly great episodes in season seven (Symphony Of Illumination, No Pressure, The Magician's Code Pt. 1 & 2, The Drunk Train (Solely for Ted's confession of love to Robin :) ) ), but it's mostly filler that seems to have lost it's comic edge. That being said, it's still HIMYM, so it's still incredible... There is no "bad" HIMYM episode. Watch it.

    One of the best seasons of the show, it was incredibly funny, very sweet, with more great performances from its cast.
