Cobie Smulders Says It’s Too Early To Reboot How I Met Your Mother

In an interview with The Huffington Post, Cobie Smulders said that it’s too soon to reboot the hit CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother. Here are highlights:

On the ending of the show: “A lot of people liked it, a lot of people didn’t. It was very split. When Robin and Ted ended up together, it was weird for everyone because they had been on this journey for nine years. But then now, I meet people and it’s streaming and they watch it in four days like a crazy person because there’s like 220 episodes or something and they don’t have a problem with it because they see this whole journey happen. And that makes sense to me ― where the story is about Robin and Ted and how they eventually end up together.”

On it lasting nine years: “To be able to have that happen on a show, like that doesn’t happen. Usually, you do a pilot of a TV show, and if it gets picked up, then you get 13 episodes. And if that goes OK, then you get nine more episodes. And if you’re lucky, you get a second season. We were so lucky to have that long of a time to play around with these characters so much and see it through the way the creators wanted to see it through. It was really wonderful and a really beautiful thing to be a part of.”

On a possible reboot: “I mean, we were just on every week. Aren’t you sick of us? So, I don’t know. Who knows? I don’t think now. I think it’s too soon. But talk to me in 20 years, I might need a job!”
