NOT OKAY, LESS THAN AWESOME: Spurred by the high ratings
HIMYM has continued to get and the issues it's had with newer comedies on Monday, CBS has
officially ordered a pilot of How I Met Your Dad, which will focus on another group of friends who hang out at McLaren's, with an entirely new cast. (No, this won't be a "flip side" story of the show led by Miliotti.) Seems like a safe bet that it'll be leading off CBS Mondays next fall. (That said, during pilot season last year,
Beverly Hills Cop and
NCIS: Red sure sounded like slamdunks.)
