TED is sad that this is where they part ways. JOANNA But I would love it if you could walk me home. TED stand there for a moment and smiles. TED I think, I’m actually pretty busy right now. JOANNA smiles and goes to take his hand and he grabs it, but as soon as he does. He gets a call. TED (CONT'D) I’m so sorry, I’ll turn it off. JOANNA Take it.

TED I loved space camp! (beat) (playing it cool) I mean... (beat) Who am I kidding, I loved it. I wanted to be an astronaut after I watched- JOANNA Star Wars? TED Yes! (beat) Okay, but which Star Wars. JOANNA Episode one. TED Chronologically or by title? JOANNA Chronologically. Who do I look like to you? TED I was just making sure. The both laugh. They turn the corner and the whole street is blocked off due to construction. "The Waiting Game" 5. TED (CONT'D) Oh, no. JOANNA I have no idea how to get home from here other than that street.

EVENING.- LATER THE SCREEN IS SPLIT On the left, TED is on the phone in front of construction. On the right, BARNEY is at the bar with ROBIN.

ROBIN Seal the deal, Ted! TED I’ll try my best. BARNEY Promise? TED Yes, what are we five? I promise. (beat) Now, how do I get there. BARNEY Where are you now? TED First avenue. BARNEY Go back to second. Take a right and then another right when you see the “Nasty Newsies” sign. It’s a Broadway themed strip club. You should end up in the right place. TED Thanks, you’re a life saver. BARNEY But you better end up in her right place, if you know what I’m saying! "The Waiting Game" 7. TED hangs up. THE SCREEN UNSPLITS. TED I’m sorry about that. JOANNA Don’t be. TED grabs her hand again and starts walking. JOANNA (CONT'D) Sorry by the way. I’m just so new to the city and everything has been a bit of a learning curve for me. TED Like what? (beat) What is the thing that you miss the most about Cleveland? JOANNA I don’t know. I would have to say the overall morality of people. TED (Laughing) What? JOANNA You know, how people treat each other. So many people are so self centered. Not necessarily narcissistic, but everyone seems so worried about their image here. TED What? There’s no way that could be true. TED starts to think about it. CUT TO: INT. MACLAREN'S PUB. EVENING.- FLASHBACK TED and BARNEY are standing by the bar. "The Waiting Game" 8. BARNEY There’s no way she could say no. I mean, look at me. I’m awesome! CUT TO: INT. TED’S APARTMENT. MORNING.-FLASHBACK TED walks around the corner and sees ROBIN talking to herself in the mirror. ROBIN (To herself) You are a good reporter. (beat) No, you are the best reporter. If you can sing “Let’s go to the Mall” for Justin Trudeau then you can report on the kid that released crickets into his school. CUT TO: INT. MARSHALL AND LILY'S APARTMENT. LIVING ROOM.-FLASHBACK MARSHALL, LILY, and TED sit on their couch. LILY That’s all you have to do to find a great girl. MARSHALL Take it from us, the best couple on the planet. MARSHALL and LILY high five. CUT TO: EXT. STREET. NEW YORK CITY. EVENING.-PRESENT TED I can see where you are coming from. JOANNA But you’re different, you know that? TED How so? "The Waiting Game" 9. JOANNA You seem like yourself. The same Ted Mosby no matter what. TED Except for when I dress up like a bat and fight crime. JOANNA (laughing) I mean it. You seem to intrigue your friends. But you do it by being you. JOANNA stops in front of a building and faces TED. TED You really think so? JOANNA You’ve definitely intrigued me. TED Oh, really. TED gets closer. JOANNA Yes, really. TED leans in to kiss her. She kisses him back. They don’t make out but they have one kiss for a couple of seconds. TED What do you say we move this date upstairs? JOANNA (pause) I’m sorry, Ted. I wasn’t planning on leading you on like that. But I don’t do that on the first date. TED I totally get it. JOANNA Actually, I don’t do that on any date. TED What do you mean? "The Waiting Game" 10. JOANNA I’m deeply religious. I’m waiting until marriage to have sex. TED is completely taken back by this. Not only is she the only girl that he has ever heard say those words, he is speechless about the fact that it is a girl that he really likes. END OF ACT I "The Waiting Game" 11. ACT II INT. MACLAREN'S PUB. AFTERNOON. TED and MARSHALL are sitting down, having a drink. MARSHALL has to play therapist and TED sits there in agony wondering what is next. MARSHALL Wow, until marriage? So what did you say? MARSHALL is in deep thought, he has no idea how to react. TED I told her that I would call her again. MARSHALL Are you going to? TED I don’t know, man. You know, I should have seen this coming. She was too perfect, I should’ve known that she would have a “But”. MARSHALL hasn’t known how to react until now. He understands that it shouldn’t matter and wants TED to see his side. MARSHALL A “but”! TED That’s not what I meant. MARSHALL Ted, a “but” is a girl that still takes bubble baths with her brother or a guy that has an addiction to ski ball. TED Don’t you have an addiction to ski ball? MARSHALL Yes, and I still haven’t told Lily.

Endnotes RIZWAN 3 Abstract The female broadcaster provides one of the most stereotypical images of contemporary journalist in popular culture. Often, female journalists are portrayed as vivacious, ruthless, and driven individuals who must compete fiercely to survive in a man’s profession. Robin Scherbatsky (played by Cobie Smulders) of How I Met Your Mother is depicted as an attractive Canadian journalist with a tomboy past on the highly popular television series. Scherbatsky struggles to break free from covering stereotypical “fluff” stories, a genre that is common to female broadcast journalists. While she maintains a rugged and unemotional facade, she is still very womanly and vulnerable in both her career and personal life. This study will examine Scherbatsky’s dichotomous character, compare her image on the series to that of other female journalists in popular culture, and analyze her influence on the current stereotype of female broadcasters.

  • Pledging and Delaying Narrative Closure in How I Met Your Mother
    Graat On-Line issue #15 April 2014 The Yellow Umbrella Syndrome: Pledging and Delaying Narrative Closure in How I Met Your Mother Florent Favard Université Bordeaux Montaigne The year 2030. Two teenagers, sitting in a living room, listen to their father, as he tells how he met their mother. He warns: this story is going to take a while, since he starts to recount, in great detail, his life as a young—and single—architect in New York City, back in 2005. So begins the pilot of the American sitcom How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 2005–2014): with a promise that the story will eventually lead to the aforementioned meeting. The year 2005. As viewers discover Ted Mosby’s endless quest to meet the mother of his children, American primetime television storytelling has already entered a new era, one of “narrative complexity” as Jason Mittell notably dubbed it1. Rooted in the 1990s popular dramas, such as The X-Files (Fox, 1993–2002) and premium cable shows like The Sopranos (HBO, 1999–2007), this narrational mode is “distinct for its use of narrative complexity as an alternative to the conventional episodic and serial forms that have typified most American television since its inception2.” That is, a narratively complex show is both episodic and serialized at the same time, depending on which story arc one is following: the episodic ones, closed at the end of each episode, or the serialized ones, stretched over numerous episodes and even seasons. The year 2014. While Ted Mosby is about to meet, at last, the woman of his dreams in the midst of his two friends’ eventful wedding, narrative complexity, as explored by Mittell and other academics, has become a standard paradigm for 24 analyzing shows that “represent […] neither the majority of television nor its most popular programs3”, but challenge the audience and motivate active participation.

Aplicamos a las nueve temporadas de la serie, estudios realizados por autores de literatura que pusieron las bases del tiempo narrativo y otros que lo actualizaron al audiovisual para resaltar que la serie intenta en todas sus temporadas ubicar numerosos recursos que hacen de ella un ejemplo perfecto para estudiar el tiempo narrativo, tanto porque aplica de forma ceñida los recursos definidos como porque busca originalidad.

  • The Blue French Horn
    Running head: INTERTWINING ORIGIN STORIES IN HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER The Blue French Horn: Intertwining Origin Stories in How I Met Your Mother Sydney Stein Dr. Leah LeFebvre Honors Thesis Department of Communication and Journalism University of Wyoming Spring 2017 INTERTWINING ORIGIN STORIES IN HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER 2 Abstract This study investigates the intertwining origin stories in the television show, How I Met Your Mother. The TV show focuses on the main character, Ted Mosby, on his search for love, a wife, and mother of his children, with the help of his best friends. While research regarding origin stories is incomplete, How I Met Your Mother will allow for framing of origin story research as the show features Ted narrating his quest to his future children. Through the analysis of a popularized television show, origin story research will be expanded to demonstrate that two origin stories can occur side-by-side as the narrator places himself in the story. Ted tells the story to reaffirm his love for the Mother, while subtly using it as a way to position himself close to Robin again. The narrative Ted tells allows him to be in the action, igniting a flame for an old lover through the telling of the story. Keywords: origin stories, How I Met Your Mother, love, television INTERTWINING ORIGIN STORIES IN HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER 3 The Blue French Horn: Intertwining Origin Stories in How I Met Your Mother When Ted Mosby said, “Kids, I’m going to tell you an incredible story, the story of how I met your mother,” his kids did not expect their mother to take so long to arrive in the story, and the audience did not expect Ted to end up with someone other than the mother.

  • Influence of Communication in How I Met Your Mother Joshua W
    Running Head: INFLUENCE OF COMMUNICATION IN HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER 1 Influence of Communication in How I Met Your Mother Joshua W. DeGrasse-Baumann Carroll University INFLUENCE OF COMMUNICATION IN HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER 2 Abstract This study compares conversations in How I Met Your Mother to existing research on communication and conflict, particularly focused on directness of communication about conflict. Through a content analysis, 30 episodes of the first eight seasons were sampled and coded for various aspects of communication affecting conflict between the main characters. Though results showed that the sitcom largely differed from extant research, there is some overlap could be worth another look, especially when considering the constraints often faced by television shows. INFLUENCE OF COMMUNICATION IN HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER 3 Influence of Communication in How I Met Your Mother Situational comedies act as representation of at least some aspect of our society. As a result, they likely contain representations of how our society communicates. Shows, like How I Met Your Mother, offer researchers an opportunity to explore not only how we communicate, but also how that communication is perceived by mass media. Though shows are scripted, the content comes from actual human beings and is typically expected to be plausible, which suggests that even television shows follow some communication norms. Literature Review Media as Representation There is a precedent in communication research for using television shows as subjects. As a form of media, television shows are also a form of communication. However, they also typically include content about communication. The somewhat meta nature of these programs offer interesting research opportunities in the field.

  • The True Hero of How I Met Your Mother
    Introduction I originally began this document as a way of channeling my belief that Robin and Barney were meant to be together, and that the final episode of the series, in which they divorce only three years after the wedding, leaving Robin free to finally get together with Ted after all, 25 years after they first met, was a huge mistake on the part of the writers. I felt that Barney had changed and grown beyond recognition, throughout the timeline of the show, and at great personal effort and cost. Any show worth it’s salt would surely have rewarded this with a happily ever after scenario, and it felt cruel not to offer that to poor Barney. The fact is, the programme was built around the character of Ted. Ted is the 2030 narrator, telling the long and involved tale of his twenties and thirties, to his teenaged children. The entire structure is built around Ted as a hero. And Ted is very sweet, and very lovable, for a lot of the time. I quite see, now, that they had written themselves into a corner. Ted had to end up with Robin, eventually, and he could never do that if her marriage to Barney had succeeded. But I maintain that Barney is a far better hero than Ted could ever be. Barney - the true hero of H ow I Met Your Mother It was only on my second watch through of H ow I Met Your Mother that I realised that Barney was not always as out of control as he seems to be for much of the series.
