I gotta disagree, I think the show is great and I love it but, it's good as it is. I mean I guess I'm afraid they're going to do the same thing that all shows do once they get renewed past their "end". I mean it's wonderful the way it is and I feel like something could be lost by adding all four years onto it. I mean if they could do it and do it right then by all means go ahead. If they find that in writing a script they're recycling jokes too often and can't develop the story enough then just end it. Although they did leave themselves with a lot of options. I mean Marshall's new found heart but now in an even more stressful position, Abby's opening up, Shane perhaps getting a second chance, and even Mike dealing with Emily and Britt but at the same time those things seemed complete in and of themselves already any more might just become the recycling that happens to most shows after they "end" and are still kept alive.   See 8 other replies
