As for highlights, the show hit its milestone 100th episode this season and the team put some extra effort into it, designing an elaborate musical number around the considerable talents of Neil Patrick Harris with supporting roles from the rest of the cast and dozens of extras. There’s also another brief musical number in a different episode featuring Ted and Barney and it’s worth seeking out. Also, for those keeping track, Barney receives the fourth of five slaps awarded to Marshall early in the show’s run. Aside from those special moments, there’s little new to see in the rest of the season.
The DVD box set crams all 24 episodes onto just 3 DVDs, allowing the series to be contained in a space-saving standard DVD case. That leaves little room for special features, which include bloopers and behind the scenes footage on the making of the two musical numbers.
How I Met Your Mother: The Complete Season 5 is now available on DVD.

Sicne the show is called "How I met Your Mother" we won't ever see the mother until the very last episode. That is if as long as they have notice when the show finally gets cancelled.
Personally, I always wanted Robin to be the mother, but Ted already told them Robin is their aunt.
