How I Met Your Mother: How It Broke the Mold — and How Will It All End?

1 hour ago

Like the year in which Future Ted is recounting his stories, How I Met Your Mother may have been a little ahead of its time.

"I think [that] the best format for this series is ultimately as a download or a DVD — a binge-watch," co-creator and executive producer Carter Bays tells TVGuide.com.

"I think we should've been on Netflix," co-creator and executive producer Craig Thomas quips. "Maybe people wouldn't have been as upset at us. We could've been the first House of Cards!"

26 March 2014 6:00 AM, PDT

I always warn my students* to avoid listening to veteran hacks who talk about the golden age of journalism. But I admit I'm not immune to doing it myself and I also enjoy reading old friends' reminiscences - some of which I even recognise to have been true.

The latest example is an interview on The Surrey Edit site with the former Daily Mirror show business writer, Don Short, renowned for his story-getting abilities.

The piece began badly by wrongly stating that the Mirror's 5m circulation in the 1960s was "more than all the other newspapers put together." How ridiculous.
