Bialik confirmed that the show is filmed on a closed set without a studio audience due to COVID-19; a laugh track is added during post-production.[63] Tapings with a live studio audience began with the second season.

How to Get Away With Murder: Created by Peter Nowalk and starring Viola Davis in the leading role, this Shonda Rhimes series remains one of the most popular legal drama thrillers on television. The multiple award-winning series follows a lawyer and law professor, Annalise Keating, and her five students and how they cover up a murder, for years. The series ran for six seasons, with new twists and turns, characters, and new challenges that force all of them to stick together.
Kevin Smith directed episode 7 of the season. It opened with Savitar taking Barry on a beat-down tour of Central City, clearly displaying superior speed and fighting skills. Caitlin and Cisco showed up and attacked Savitar, and the villain fled. However, using her powers has a big downside for Caitlin: now, the Killer Frost side of her personality has taken over.
That being said, I still enjoyed the whole season of The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story. There were so many brilliant performances, but Darren Criss takes the cake.
The characters may not reflect their real-life counterparts one hundred percent, but I was invested in each and every one of them. There are lots of memorable moments throughout the season, but none of them felt sensationalized. And even though Andrew was humanized, his actions were never excused.
All of Lyndsy Fonseca and David Henrie's scenes as Ted (Josh Radnor)'s future children were filmed during the first season to keep them the same age throughout the series. This includes a scene for the show's eventual final episode filmed early in the second season.
In the first season, Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) is challenged to pick up a girl in a bar by calling an ambulance. Series creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, cameo as the actors hired by Barney to play the paramedics.
In season four, when referring to the child he hired to act as his son, Barney makes a comment about child actors having been better in the 80's. Neil Patrick Harris, who plays Barney, was himself an 80's child actor.
Alyson Hannigan was pregnant while filming many season four episodes, but the show-runners were not interested in her character, Lily, also being shown as pregnant. Most episodes used time-honored TV tricks to hide Hannigan's pregnancy, including baggy tops and giant handbags, but the episode How I Met Your Mother: The Possimpible (2009) showed Hannigan's pregnancy bump in the context of a subplot in which Lily wins a hot dog-eating contest and has a comically distended stomach afterward. A similar visual gag was used in the sitcom Titus (2000) several years earlier. Actress Cynthia Watros was pregnant during the show's second season, although her character "Erin" was not meant to be pregnant. So, in addition to the "time-honored TV tricks" being used to hide Watros' pregnancy, a flashback scenario was used in one episode that showed her character Erin winning a pie-eating contest and her actual pregnant belly was shown afterwards. After Hannigan told the show-runners that she was pregnant, Cobie Smulders discovered that she was also pregnant. Neither of the characters they play were pregnant on the show, so the costumers had the job of simultaneously hiding the pregnancies of the series' two main female actors.
Jason Segel was cast for the role of Marshall Eriksen because of his work on the short lived television show Freaks and Geeks (1999), of which HIMYM creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas were huge fans. Besides Segel, other three actors from the "Freaks and Geeks" cast appeared on the show. Samm Levine played Phil on season 1 episode 5, "Okay Awesome", Martin Starr played Kevin on season 1 episode 8, "The Duel", and Busy Philipps played Rachel on season 3 episode 3, "Third Wheel".
Both Alyson Hannigan (Lily) and Cobie Smulders (Robin) were pregnant during the fourth season, so their characters are seen wearing loose clothing, and holding large objects to cover their stomachs.
In season 8 episodes 11 & 12 the new GNB building opens up, however they never seem to move into the building. All episodes after that with scenes at GNB still show Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) in his same office.
The season 7 finale Magicians Code Pt. 2 is considered by many fans as the spiritual ending to the show even though it leaves some unanswered questions. The episode provides enough closure and is a much happier ending that fans have accepted it as a better series finale
Jennifer Morrison (Ted's girlfriend Zoey in season 6), Anne Dudek (Ted's girlfriend Natalie in season 1) and Kal Penn (Robin's boyfriend Kevin in season 7) also had starting roles in another show, House (2004), as Cameron, Amber and Kutner, respectively.
In season 6 episode 4 (Subway Wars) Ted (Josh Radnor) points out the Arcadian Hotel to the bus driver. The next episode (Architect of Destruction) is where he finds out that is the spot of the new GNB headquarters and it will be torn down.
In season 6 episode 6, Marshall is talking about a girl named Tara he knew back in high school. Marshall's school is shown in the flashback and it has Quebec's provincial flag on the post and a official blue government building identification panel next to the door. It's actually a provincial health management office in Montreal.
The mother's first name is already mentioned in season 1 episode 9, when a stripper tells Ted (Josh Radnor) she's called Tracy and Ted's off-voice tells his children 'this is the true story of how I met your mother'. The kids' shocked reaction reveals that it's the real name of their mother.
An on-going joke in the show is that nobody ever finds out what Barney (Neil Patrick Harris)'s job is. Every time the gang ask him he sarcastically replies, 'Please'! In the final season, it is revealed that PLEASE actually stands for Provide Legal Exculpation And Sign Everything.
In the season 7 episode How I Met Your Mother: Good Crazy (2012), Ted (Josh Radnor) starts up online dating and finds a girl that seems to be perfect for him. However, after emailing her, it's revealed to be Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), simply testing Ted. If you pause it and read "the girl's" description, you'll see Barney actually address Ted at the very end of the description.
Before being picked up for another season, the writers planned for Victoria (Ashley Williams) to be the mother. The show would end with the shot of her at Claudia (Virginia Williams) and Stuart (Matt Boren)'s wedding followed by Ted (Josh Radnor) saying, 'and that's how I met your mother'.
The show's opening theme song and the photos displayed during it differ in only four episodes throughout nine seasons. How I Met Your Mother: Hopeless (2011) shows the main characters playing various instruments, How I Met Your Mother: Bedtime Stories (2013) is played to the tune of a music box, How I Met Your Mother: 46 Minutes (2012) excludes Lily (Alyson Hannigan) and Marshall (Jason Segel) after they move to the suburbs with new photos of Ted (Josh Radnor) and Robin (Cobie Smulders) looking annoyed with Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) and How I Met Your Mother: How Your Mother Met Me (2014) shows Tracy (Cristin Milioti) with several of her friends. How I Met Your Mother: 46 Minutes (2012) has a second version later in the episode to a Russian theme with Stripper Lily and her boyfriend. The intro to 46 minutes at the beginning of the show is also altered because Barney sings the theme song and declares himself the leader of the group. 2ff7e9595c
