Throughout the late 1990s and early aughts, romantic comedies were the province of films and the movie stars that led them. This cluster of shows was part of a larger migration. Finding a soulmate doesn’t have to be the end of one’s story-in fact, quite the opposite.

What How I Met Your Mother treated as a denouement, such series took as a rich text. It was a first in a series of projects, including Amazon’s Catastrophe and Netflix’s Love, to use television’s length to their advantage, tracing bonds more complex and enduring than a typical get-together plot. For five seasons, ending in 2019, You’re the Worst tracked the highs and lows of a single relationship between misanthropes Jimmy and Gretchen.

How I Met Your Mother built up to single meet-cute You’re the Worst understood the meet-cute for what it is: the beginning of a much larger, more complex story. Just a few months after How I Met Your Mother ended its run, FX premiered You’re the Worst, which made the prior show’s destination its starting point. How I Met Your Mother was an enjoyable sitcom about a group of friends in the big city, but it wasn’t really about the defining encounter implied by its title. Cristin Milioti didn’t even make her first on-screen appearance as the Mother, née Tracy, until the penultimate season finale. As long as audiences wanted more episodes, How I Met Your Mother kept producing them-which required postponing its long-awaited reveal. (The elder Ted was voiced by the late Bob Saget.) Before long, though, the demands of a hit show began colliding with that central promise. How I Met Your Mother ostensibly traces how architect Ted Mosby meets the mother of his children, whom he addresses via voice-over. The shift to streaming, a pivot that’s rapidly reshaped an entire industry, has also led to narrower trends in subgenres like the relationship comedy-ones that influence the legacy of How I Met Your Mother, but apparently not the wisdom of rebooting it with such minimal changes. Much of that change is summed up by How I Met Your Father’s distribution hub: While How I Met Your Mother aired on broadcast network CBS, its informal spinoff streams on Hulu. The main difference is that in this iteration, the protagonist is a woman, and her future partner is a man.Įight years is a lot of time, especially in the fast-changing landscape of 21st-century TV. Much like its predecessor, How I Met Your Father turns the genesis of a relationship into a guessing game, narrated by an older version of its protagonist in the semi-distant future. Seven years, nine months, and 18 days later, Hulu premiered the first two episodes of How I Met Your Father, a show with an identical concept and only slightly altered execution. Since it’s a very limited time, the developers have to make up for the lack of it by employing the best of their creativity and thinking of innovative ways to make it happen.On March 31, 2014, CBS aired the final episode of How I Met Your Mother, the nine-season, 208-episode answer to the titular premise. Probably the most fun and challenging part of the event is the time slot given for contestants-48 hours to create a game from scratch. Before that, the topic is held secret, so it’s really only at the event that the participants will know it.

“Global Game Jam is an international event for game developers and enthusiasts where the participants create a video game based on the topic disclosed before the event’s beginning. Since it might be that you are hearing about this event for the first time, we’ve asked Gediminas to tell us a bit more about it. Now, we heard it through the grapevine that this Association was responsible for the Lithuanian branch of Global Game Jam. To make this article even better, we’ve talked to Gediminas Tarasevičius from the Lithuanian Game Developers’ Association ( Lietuvos Žaidimų Kūrėjų Asociacija), who has so kindly answered a couple of our questions on video and arcade games.
