Do you call a night club 'discotheque'? 
I've enjoyed all the seasons so far, with the exception of season 8. It isn't as good as it used to be, but the plot design was always going to become redundant eventually. The best solution would have been to only have 5 odd seasons and end it there.
I remember even Friends had a pretty awful season.Don't remember the exact one, but i think it was season 7. Plus by the time that show moved on, some characters became pretty annoying too. Monica's character for example, became very hard to tolerate. Just like Lilly and Marshall's characters in HIMY.
I think Seinfield to date, remains the only season that was brilliant from start to finish with no loopholes.Every other series/sitcom stretching past 5-6 seasons is going to go downhill.

I disagree, only thing I liked is scene with Barney and the kid, other than that - shit. Rooted for mother and Ted, not for Robin, got bored of her 'i love ted, i don't love barney... oh, wait, i love both of them.. no, just barney.. no, i should bail on my wedding day with ted' fucked up emotion life. They spent an entire season on wedding, Ted and mother spoke for 1 minute on that day, and Robin and Barney got a divorce after 3 years. Don't like it.

For a long time we, HIMUM fans, guessed that mother is dead, and if not why the hell he tells to his children this story?!Additionally, she's never around in any of the flash forwards to the future where all of them are sitting around together reminiscing. The only reason is that their mother has passed away and we gussed it right! Plus Ted is the guy who always need to love somebody, since his wife pass we can only imagine how devasteted he was, and in it's obvious that in his late 40s it's very hard to person like himm to find a woman that he can trust, that will be his soulmate, of course since in TV serie you can always add random character but it's not that we deserved,plus i guess authors were definitely too tired to introduce new woman with her own story in the end of the story and they stopped on the Robin's character, because they were soulmates and lovers from the beginning of the series with Ted
I'm okay with Ted coming together with Robin and the Mother dying in general, it defenitely makes sense if you look at the series as a whole, but there are some major executionary flaws that can't be denied.
The last season for example, where we spent the whole 22 episodes on one freaking wedding, that was rendered completely void and pointless by the fact that they got a divorce 20 minutes into the finale. It can be excused by the writers being told to write more seasons than they originally planned for and this was the best they came up with, but still.
Then, a lot of Teds narration concerning the mother over the whole series kinda leaves a strange ring to it knowing that she isn't alive anymore when he is telling story. The mother was supposed to be his final "reward", the end of his long path of lonliness and dissapointment, anytime anything bad happens to him he immediately adds that it was worth it as it lead him to meeting the Mother. She was clearly the most important woman in his life, which finally brings me to my last, biggest problem with the finale, the way the Mothers death was handled. Not one minute of mouring, nothing about the surely enormous emotional repurcussions her death must have meant for Ted, generally the complete omission of any grief. Time constraints are no excuse here, as they had more than enough over the last season, and even in the finale itself I can think of a few scenes much less important than that. What's even worse is the reaction of the children after he finishes telling the story with the death of their Mother. No sign of consternation or consolation, just laughing and "Haha you wanna bang aunt Robin". That's just random and incredibly inadequate.
Soooooo this post got a lot longer than I intended it to be, and I just wanna say that I still liked the finale and thought it was a good ending, but a lot of things just don't quite add up.

Last I heard it was gonna be a completely different main cast, with just some callbacks or references to HIMYM.
