On Jan. 27, CBS's How I Met Your Mother airs its 200th episode, titled "How Your Mother Met Me," which promises to fill in several details involving the titular parent. "Various claims we've made about the mother over the years — like her making breakfast and singing show tunes — will be paid off," promises cocreator Craig Thomas.
But while some of the mysteries surrounding Ted's wife may get solved, the cast members have some questions about their own characters, as well as storyline wish lists, that they're anxious to have addressed before the series wraps this spring. Thomas and cocreator Carter Bays respond to the queries.
People really want to know where the Season 1 pineapple — which inspired Ted to lay out the evidence on a cork board to crack the mystery — came from. Will we find out? — Josh Radnor (Ted)
Sorry, Josh. Bays says this question can never be answered because Future Ted told the audience that "we never found out where the pineapple came from." To then provide an answer would break the show's rules. "If the narrator said it, it's gospel," says Bays.
I would like Marshall to be visited by the ghost of his father, because Marshall very firmly believes that is possible, as I've also always believed personally. — Jason Segel (Marshall)
You're in luck, Jason! "That is actually happening," Bays says. "In the second half of the season, Marshall will be meeting the ghost of his father, played again by Bill Fagerbakke."
