Lifetime has locked up exclusive cable rerun rights to How I Met Your Mother says The Hollywood Reporter. The half-hour comedy is set to air as a strip starting in fall 2010, joining a schedule that includes such other off-net comedies as Reba, Still Standing, Will & Grace and Frasier. The show fetched around $725,000 per episode in a highly competitive bidding situation that included at least six interested cable networks. It was considered a hot property because of the diminishing number of off-network sitcoms coming available.
Lifetime’s four-year licensing deal includes up to eight seasons of How I Met Your Mother, should the CBS comedy run that long. How I Met Your Mother had a big fourth-season premiere Monday, jumping 21% in the ratings over last season.
Former One Tree Hill actress Danneel Harris has replaced Sara Paxton as Stella’s (Sarah Chalke) sister Nora, says Michael Ausiello. Although showrunners Craig Thomas and Carter Bays liked Paxton, an insider says the duo felt the part called for a slightly older actress. “They want to find another role for Paxton on the show.” Harris’ episode is slated to air during November sweeps and coincides with the arrival of Jason Jones as Stella’s ex and the father of her kid.
