Every Season Of How I Met Your Mother Ranked Worst To Best
6. Season 6
How I Met Your Mother Season 6 makes fans cry more than any other season. In 24 episodes, Marshall's father suddenly passes away from a heart attack, Barney meets and makes amends with his own father, and in the final episode, Marshall and Lily discover that they are going to have a baby.
The season, filled with ups and downs for its characters, feels like an emotional roller coaster. It feels divided between the more intense, emotional episodes and the funnier ones. For example, shortly after the death of Marshall's father, Katy Perry's episode, Oh Honey, brings back the top notch humour.
Though many fans dislike Ted's relationship with Zoey, his love interest of the season, she actually contributes a lot to the show. At first, she antagonizes Ted, then they became friends, then fall for each other, and finally break up in the episode Landmarks. Zoey works as an antithesis to the Mother, the kind of woman Ted should not be with. He needs someone supportive, as proved by his relationship with Zoey.
While not a fan favourite, How I Met Your Mother Season 6 introduces some great elements to the show, such as The Captain, and sets the scene for the eventual meeting of the Mother.
