10 TV Deleted Scenes That Would Have Improved Their Shows
1. The Happy Ending - How I Met Your Mother
Having the Mother die of cancer was nowhere near the most controversial thing about How it Met Your Mother's final season. While this was a shocking twist, it paled in comparison to the anger the fans felt when Robin emerged as Ted's happily ever after.
The show convinced the viewer to root against their coupling throughout, making it clear they're horrible for each other. What's more, it dedicated an entire season to Robin and Barney's wedding, only to nullify it with a last-minute montage.
Luckily, there's an alternative ending you can watch instead and try really, really hard to pretend is canon. It basically follows the same beats, without the depressing cancer twist and the massive sense of fan betrayal.
After Ted's path finally crosses with the Mother, they hit it off and he tells his kids "that's how I met your mother". Nobody dies and Robin stays with Barney. Is it perfect? No, it's sickeningly sentimental, actually, but it's better than the ending we got.
