LOS ANGELES -- The producers of "How I Met Your Mother" plan to
expand the world the show's characters live in this season, and that will
include meeting some of their relatives.
Ted's (Josh Radnor) parents will be making an appearance early in the
season, and you might recognize the elder Mr. Mosby.
Former "Family Ties" star/iconic TV dad Michael Gross will
guest-star as Ted's father in the CBS show's third episode, scheduled for
early October. Cristine Rose ("Charmed," "Picket
Fences") will play his mom.
The episode, titled "Brunch," revolves around a brunch that
Ted, girlfriend Robin (Cobie Smulders) and the rest of the gang have with
Ted's folks. In a conference call Wednesday, "Mother" star Neil
Patrick Harris said the episode will involve multiple flashbacks showing
that the happy facade everyone is putting up at the meal isn't really how
they feel.
"[Gross] was fantastic, and a perfect match" for Radnor's Ted,
Harris says.
In addition to "Family Ties," Gross has starred in
"Tremors" (as well as several sequels and a Sci Fi Channel
series) and all three "Law & Order" series, and had a
recurring part as Noah Wyle's father on "ER." He recently
co-starred in the HBO movie "Mrs. Harris."
"How I Met Your Mother" has also lined up funk legend George
Clinton for the season premiere, which will pick up with Marshall (Jason
Segel) still in the dumps over Lily's (Alyson Hannigan) decision to leave
for San Francisco over the summer.
"He's understandably devastated and tries to track her down. And it
seems that he's concerned that he's off having an affair with George
Clinton," Harris says with a laugh. "Because boy, when you
think of who would be a great match with Alyson Hannigan, you think of
George Clinton."
"How I Met Your Mother" begins its second season CBS Monday,
Sept. 18.
