Exclusive clip: Behind-the-scenes of "How I Met Your Mother" and the "Gary Blauman" episode
"How I Met Your Mother" may have ended its nine-season run, but fans can relive some of the magic all over again with an upcoming DVD and props from the hit sitcom.
"How I Met Your Mother - The Whole Story" DVD, due out Tuesday, features all nine seasons of the Emmy Award-winning show, along with the show's alternate ending (definitely highly-anticipated following March's finale). It's also packaged in a "Bro Code Playbook." Naturally.
There's a bonus disc that features a retrospective documentary, a piece focusing on the casting of the mother, a look back at how the Mosby kids finale sequence was shot back in 2006 and a live table read, among other gems. There's also in-depth look at "The Pineapple Scene" where the mystery of the pineapple is finally revealed. A clip from the Blu-ray can be seen in the exclusive preview above, showing how the "Gary Blauman" episode was filmed, along with the reaction from Neil Patrick Harris after they nailed the scene.
Tying in with the DVD release is a chance for "HIMYM" fans to win official props from the show, including Robin's Vancouver jersey, Ted's hot dog costume, Robins Sparkles' boom box, the Goliath National Bank hard hat, the parking meter ripped from the street by Barney's father and more. One fan will score the actual bar from MacLaren's, complete with bar stools. Go here to enter.
"'How I Met Your Mother' has always belonged to the fans," said show creator Carter Bays. "You guys rooted the show on, made it a part of your life, and spent every Monday night with us for nearly a decade. We will always be grateful for that. As a way of saying thanks, we'd like to give you the opportunity for a piece of 'How I Met Your Mother' to actually, physically belong to you."
Kinda legendary, right?
