How I Met Your Mother ran for nine successful seasons on CBS, and the show’s creators hoped to capitalize on its success by creating How I Met Your Dad. The show would have featured a whole new cast of characters, starring Greta Gerwig as Sally, but it was set to follow the same basic formula as the original sitcom.

A pilot was shot, but when CBS asked for re-shoots, creators Carter Bays, Craig Thomas, and Emily Spivey wanted the promise that the network would pick it up before doing them. Let’s take a look at why we never got to see How I Met Your Dad.
