It was only recently that former NBC hit Will & Grace made a hilariously triumphant return for some short and sassy online-only footage, and while Marshall and the gang presumably wouldn’t be used for the same kind of political statement-making, that’s the kind of limited format that could be the future of TV reunions.
(Which is probably good, since How I Met Your Mother creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas have a new project in the works at CBS, not to mention other cast members’ careers.)
For anyone scoffing at the idea of a show so recently off the air already getting a potential reunion, the cast and writers re-teaming wouldn’t necessarily need to result in a full TV season or anything.
