How I Met Your Dad will not be a part of CBS’ fall TV schedule.
If you follow the TV schedule drama, you may already know that the “talked about show” is not happening for CBS. (Full Disclosure: This is the first I’m hearing of it.) As you know, How I Met Your Mother had a very successful 9 season run, comparable to the 10 seasons of Friends and 8 seasons of Will & Grace.

It was reported back in November that CBS had went ahead and ordered the pilot of HIMYD. The story was going to tell the story of Ted Mosby from a female’s perspective. However, the show would be stock full of a completely different cast and characters.
