'How I Met Your Mother': The long and winding road
Twitter
After four seasons, "How I Met Your Mother" has finally gotten Ted (Josh Radnor) in close proximity with the woman who will fulfill the promise of the show's title.
Last season's finale set up Ted teaching an architecture class, and Future Ted narrated that the woman who would become his kids' mother was in the lecture hall. It's taken nearly 90 episodes and a couple of near misses to get Ted this close to the mystery woman, but co-creator Carter Bays says the show is better off because of that.
"The longer and more intricate this story ends up being in the end, the more profound it is," Bays said Monday night (Aug. 3) at CBS' summer press tour party. Here's his full answer:

I rather not know who the mother is until the show is pretty much over with. And i hope its far from over.
The show is written so well and intelligently that I absolutely trust Bays/Thomas on this. He seems confident that he has it planned out, and I do think it'll be pretty profound when it all comes together. The relationship with the mother will probably last several seasons anyway, so I think it was good to exhaust the rest of the characters before adding this integral character. I only hope I can stand the actress/character.
Nice show especially when they are all on it and it isn't another Barney-themed one. That character should remain a supporting character and not become the show lead.
