How I Met Your Mother will live on!

CBS has given a pilot commitment order to spin-off How I Met Your Dad, TVGuide.com has learned.

25 unnecessary spin-offs

From HIMYM creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, as well as Up All Night creator Emily Spivey, the comedy would tell a brand new story from a female's point of view. Original reports said the new characters could be introduced in the upcoming series finale of HIMYM, but the pilot will be shot as a standalone.

Would you watch a spin-off of How I Met Your Mother?
