For all those of you that have been shocked and disappointed by the ending of the hit sitcom “How I Met Your Mother,” there is still some hope left. Seeing the huge wave of negative impact that the chosen ending brought on with fans, the producers have decided to offer an alternate ending.

But since good things in life are never free, the only way you'll be able to see that alternate ending is if you purchase the complete DVD set of the series. Entertainment Weekly reports that executive producer Carter Bays has included this option as a means of calming down some of the furor.

After being blasted by social media and press, the show's creators are now giving in and saying that the aired finale has only been one of the two versions they shot and that the second one will be seen on the DVDs.

“We only shot one script, but through edit-room magic we had two possible outcomes for the series. We chose the ending we chose and we stand by it. But we loved the other version too. We’re going to include that version on the Complete Series DVD as an alternate finale to How I Met Your Mother,” Bays said in a series of tweets.

So what can you expect of this new ending? Bays describes it as being “very different” from the version that aired but won't say more. The fact that it's different from the current and much debated present one should be enough to convince people into buying this DVD.
