Premiering Sept. 24 on CBS, season 8 of How I Met Your Mother is once again bringing its audience the loyal friends we have all loved since the beginning of the show. Of course, the original gang (Ted, Marshall, Lily, Robin, and Barney) will all be returning, but they will also be bringing a new friend: Marshall and Lily’s newborn son, Marvin! But that was only one of many big suprises revealed in the season 7 finale. Just after Barney did the unthinkable and proposed to Quinn, HIMYM flash-forwarded to the big day, but Robin, not Quinn, was shown as Barney’s bride. Will the on-again-off-again couple really tie the knot, or will catastrophe ensue? Either way, season 8 is sure to be a season unlike the rest; maybe we will finally be able to meet the mother!
