re: How I Met Your Mother Season 8 full season thread

Now I know I don't have a clue about writing/filming but do tv shows get written/filmed as they get shown? I just always assumed it was like a movie where they get together for a month or something, film the whole thing, and then release them each week. It's an ongoing process each week? That's interesting.

Doesn't make sense though that the writers could write it for an ending yet it couldn't be the last season. Sounds like it'll be as scatterbrained as last season.
