Bad news you guys! FOX has trimmed the order on its midseason comedy “The Goodwin Games” — because, the network says, it doesn’t need as many episodes. Why? The series starring Scott Foley, Becki Newton and T.J. Miller got a standard 13-episode order when FOX picked it up for midseason. Last week, though, the network decided to trim the order to just seven episodes. When the cast and crew wrapped episode 7 Friday (Nov. 2), they were done for the season.
The reason for the shortened order, a network rep tells Zap2it, has more to do with FOX’s other comedies than with “The Goodwin Games” itself. FOX has already ordered 24 episodes of “Raising Hope,” “New Girl” and “The Mindy Project” for this season, along with 19 episodes of “Ben and Kate.” That means less room for 13 “Goodwin Games” episodes on the midseason schedule.
The show wasn’t part of FOX’s midseason premiere dates announcement, but it will likely debut in the spring after “Ben and Kate” ends its season. “The Goodwin Games” comes from “How I Met Your Mother” creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas and “HIMYM” writer-producer Chris Harris. It’s about three siblings (Newton, Foley and Miller) who stand to inherit a sizable fortune — if they can play by the rules set forth in their late father’s (guest star Beau Bridges) will. Kat Foster and Melissa Tang also star.
We added 1300+ high definition screencaptures of 8×02 The Pre-Nup of How I Met Your Mother that aired last Monday. Becki was flawless!!! This was Becki’s last episode on the show and we honestly think it was a tad too rushed and weird how Quinn & Barney split up. We wish it would’ve been more developed, more complex, her departure that is. But oh well can’t wait for The Goodwin Games!!!!

CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler is “optimistic” about a ninth season of How I Met Your Mother — and so are the show’s creators. “We’re optimistic too,” co-creator and co-executive producer Craig Thomas tells TVGuide.com. “We’re all on the edge of our seats waiting to see what will happen with these negotiations. We’re hopeful we’ll get an answer because obviously that’ll affect the story one way or the other quite a bit. The thing is we want to give the fans the proper conclusion to this that they’ve earned for sticking with us. We had our highest-rated season in Season 7 and that’s all because of the fans. They’ve stuck with us and we want to make sure we know in time that it’s the end so we can give them the proper wrap-up that they deserve.”
What will that wrap-up entail? How — and how much — would a ninth season affect the upcoming eighth season? Get the scoop from Thomas and director Pamela Fryman below.
What’s the order in which they all fall apart? Do Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) and Quinn (Becki Newton) break up first?
Thomas: I can’t say. We already know it’ll be a disaster, but the exact sequence in which they break up is important. How the last couple breaks up is important and leads to something big for all of the characters. It’s planned out in a very specific way. I can’t say who initiates each breakup. Episode 2 airs Oct. 1 and Episode 6 airs Oct. 29. November sweeps will be even crazier! November will have some heartfelt, poignant things happening.
So this will be a very brief happy engagement for Barney and Quinn.
Thomas: Unfortunately. They’re still engaged when we pick up. And Becki may or may not be cast on another series. It’s like a very Tyler Durden kind of moment where you’re fighting with yourself about managing an actor. We had to figure out how much of Becki Newton we can use. We don’t drag it out too long since we know they’re not getting married.
