How I Met Your Mother returns to CBS on 20th September. Alan Sepinwall has posted a lengthy transcript of a conversation with show creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas which looks back at some of season five’s missteps, and ahead to what we can expect in season six (hint: probably not the identity of the Mother).
As Sepinwall states in his introduction, spoilers for S6 are vague but read ahead at your own risk.

First of all, TV Squad caught up with Neil while he was doing his Smurfs press a few weeks ago. They cover everything from Harold & Kumar to Glee and Doctor Horrible, so check it out here.
Is there going to be a third ‘Harold and Kumar’ movie?
They started filming already. It’s called ‘A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas.’ It’s in 3-D, and they’re filming in Detroit. I’m not dead in the third one.How are you going to explain that?
You saw me get shot [in the last movie], and at the end of the credits I arose, so I was clearly not dead. All may or probably won’t be explained. There’s a new director on board, and he’s great. We’re doing a giant holiday TV special Christmas medley that I help [out on], so there may be singing and dancing in ‘Harold and Kumar.’ He’s very enthusiastic towards Busby Berkeley.You have so many different projects going on now.
I’m just so amazed and lucky that things keep slotting in as they do. Things have been very fortunate the last couple of years, to an extreme, but if this movie ['Smurfs'] were happening a month later, I wouldn’t have been able to do it because it would have overlapped with ‘How I Met Your Mother,’ and if this movie had gone on another week I wouldn’t have been able to do ‘Harold and Kumar’ because I had to slot that in. It’s all been circumstantial and wonderful.
And Out.com caught up with Neil not long after last year’s Emmys, in this interview that we haven’t linked here before.
While his return was never really in doubt (would they dare make an H&K movie without NPH?!), Hollywood.com has confirmed that Neil will be returning in A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas, due in Theaters Christmas 2011. Check out the full article here for a few snippets on Glee, Dr Horrible and his return to H&K, and expect a few articles to pop up over the next week or so as it seems it was press day at the Smurfs this week, with Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello also stopping by the set on Tuesday.
