How I Met Your Mother was a pop culture phenomenon during its nine-season run, and in the years that followed. It’s also a series that has brought about as many laughs as it did tears.Created by Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, How I Met Your Mother told leading man Ted Mosby’s (Josh Radnor) love story in reverse — ultimately leading up to the moment where he meets the mother of his children.

How I Met Your Mother, has poked fun at the series running for almost a decade when its central premise was the equivalent of 15 minutes.Radnor, who portrayed Ted Mosby in the Emmy Award-winning show, shared a photo of a DVD in a since-deleted Instagram post that has the words “How I Stretched A 15 Minute Story Into Nine [Fucking] Years” daubed across an image of the show’s characters.Metro screen-shotted the picture (see here), which Radnor captioned with, “Well….yeah”, suggesting that he too thinks the series was a bit drawn out.Fans of the show, which was broadcast from 2005-2014 on CBS in the US and E4 in the UK, were quick to acknowledge the joke.

How I Met Your Mother is one of those feel-good sitcoms that we can never get tired of re-watching. The series first aired on the television in 2005 and ran for 9 glorious seasons before the creators dropped the finale episode on March 31, 2014.
