20 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About How I Met Your Mother

11. ...And Landmarks Is Least

Although in the opinion of many vocal fans the quality of the show dipped as it went on, the ratings never faltered massively. They went below the 10 million per-episode average of the first season, sure, but overall How I Met Your Mother had a pretty consistent viewership. There were still small fluctuations at various points, with the most notable dip coming at the end of Season 6 when the whole Zoey and the Arcadian plot was in full swing.

The nadir of this was Landmarks, the penultimate episode of the season, bringing in only 6.41 million (less than half the finale). Clearly people weren't very engaged with the story, but those who skipped the episode missed some pretty big developments; it's the one where Zoey and Ted finally break up.
