'How I Met Your Mother' may have only just returned with its 2013 premiere "Band or DJ," and has even more engagement shenanigans planned for Monday's "Ring Up," but one upcoming episode we're most excited for will see the long-awaited return of Robin Sparkles! Earlier CBS announced that a cavalcade of Canadian guest stars would make an appearance in the return outing, but now

'How I Met Your Mother' will be on everyone's tongue in the next few days as series creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas dish on a potential ninth season over the weekend, while the series itself returns from winter finale "The Final Page, Part 2" with Monday's all-new "Band or DJ?"

While we still await an official announcement on 'How I Met Your Mother's ninth season, likely to come this weekend at the Television Critics Association press tour, we're at least happy that this coming Monday will see the gang return to deal with the big engagement of "The Final Page, Part 2." So what it is about January 14 episode "Band or DJ?" that has Barney having panic a

Back when we thought the current season of 'How I Met Your Mother' would be the show's last, we knew co-creators and show-runners Carter Bays and Craig Thomas would return a number of past stars and characters alike, notably Robin (Cobie Smulders)'s famed Canadian alter-ego Robin Sparkles! And while we've still got a ninth season to go, Robin Sparkles' return will also include a cavalcade of Canad

'How I Met Your Mother' won't return until Monday, January 14 with "Band or DJ?," but that hasn't stopped plenty of troubles for lining up for the gang.

'How I Met Your Mother' has faced quite a bit of turnaround in the last few weeks, not only culminating in a surprise proposal from mid-season finale "The Final Page," but also from the eleventh-hour news that the cast had very likely agreed to stay on for an additional ninth season. With a new wedding to plot and an additional season to map out, where will Robin and Barney head next whe

Merry Christmas, 'How I Met Your Mother' fans. After months of deliberation and uncertainty over which direction the long-running CBS series would take toward introducing its titular character, 'How I Met Your Mother' is officially taking the long way through season 9. The renewal came as a close call, with Jason Segel's departure all-but-assuring that 'How I Met Your Mother' would end with the cu

With last night's two-part episode "The Final Page," 'How I Met Your Mother' closed out its 2012 run, leaving the series at an important crossroads. We've been hearing for months now that rumors of a ninth season were possible if CBS managed to sign the cast and crew for an additional year, but with a decision imminent in the next month, what's standing in the way of locking things down?

As we continue to wait for news on a potential ninth season of 'How I Met Your Mother,' it seems creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas aren't slowing down when it comes to bringing back past guest stars, especially those tied to the show's mythology. Rachel Bilson is the latest major 'How I Met Your Mother' star to return to the fold for the show's eighth season, whom fans will remember was roomma

While it's true that a decision has yet to be reached on the fate of 'How I Met Your Mother,' if the current season will represent the last for Ted, Robin, Barney, Marshall and Lily, or if the series will continue on into a ninth, and then-final season, the stakes grow higher and higher with each episode.  All week long we've been showing you how 'True Blood' star Joe Manganiello's character Brad

Though Joe Manganiello and his trademark scruff remains fairly well known these last few years, thanks largely to his regular role on 'True Blood' and appearances in hot-button films like 'Magic Mike, one only need look as far back as 2002's 'Spider-Man' to see the burly actor look surprisingly fresh-faced.  So too did Manganiello make numerous appearances on 'How I Met Your Mother,' a role to be
