Ever since the renewal of seasons 7 and 8 of How I Met Your Mother in March 2011, fans have been anticipating the eighth season, thinking that it will bring the show to an end, and they will be finally able to meet the mother. They had developed a sense of closure for the show, accepting that it will be ending soon. However, when the seventh season received the highest ratings yet, the executive producers started thinking that extending the show to a ninth season won't be such a bad idea. This split the fans into different categories; those who were kinda tired of waiting to meet the mother and want the show to end soon, so they can finally know who the mother is, and those who were ecstatic that the show might be extended for another season. Yet there are some people who don't care how long the series gets extended, as long as they meet the mother in the upcoming season 8.
I personally think that season 9 is almost necessary at this point. After finding out in the season 7 finale that Barney and Robin will get married, the fans are waiting to see them getting back together. However, we know that Barney and Robin will be with other people when the season 8 begins. The journey of how they end up getting married will feel really rushed if it takes place in just one season. If the execs do decide to get Robin and Barney married by the end of season 8, and end the series with Ted meeting the mother at their wedding, there will be many fans who won't be happy without knowing how Ted and The Mother's loved blossomed. So, it probably won't be such a bad idea if the show got renewed for a ninth (and possibly the final) season, but we will have to wait to see what happens.
