Scripts just aren't written that far enough in advance for it to work. <BR/><BR/>At the press tour session for HIMYM back in July, someone asked how they would handle the kid actors aging if the show is around for a while. <BR/><BR/>Craig Thomas, one of the creators, said, "Come that time, we might not<BR/>be seeing the kids every single episode. It might be more like "Seinfeld" with the stand-up device, where we'll use it up to the point where we don't feel like we need to use it anymore. I agree, it would weird if he's telling the story and they're like, 'Dad, I'm in college. Wrap it up.'" <BR/><BR/>So there's hope yet for the death (or at least disappearance) of Future Ted.Alan Sepinwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388147774725646742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1136927113223947272006-01-10T16:05:00.000-05:002006-01-10T16:05:00.000-05:00What *I* want to know is if they filmed all of the...What *I* want to know is if they filmed all of the kid scenes at once, or if those two actors playing Future Ted's kids have to come in every week just to put down 30 seconds or so of film.Tosy And Coshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11466315384515717261noreply@blogger.com
