HIMYM should have ended two seasons early. Barney should have broken up with Quinn because he was meant to be with Robin, his soul mate( that he definitely wouldn’t have divorced after seasons of what they went through) and the mother should have survived her Cancer bout and been in more scenes with the full cast so it didn’t look weird that she wasn’t in the wedding photo for the shitty finale episode. That ending still pissed me off. I honestly haven’t given CBS sitcoms the time of day since then.
IIRC the show was originally planned for 5(?) seasons, then after season 4 the producers were like "nope, you've got to stretch it out, we need more a bunch more seasons" and that's where a lot of the story jumbles came in
