'How I Met Your Mother': The women in Ted's journey

"I think our best stories are always the ones where viewers say, 'I lived that.' The phenomenon of 'The Window' was definitely one of those for us. … That notion really struck a chord because even at the stage where this episode was just an outline, every guy who read it would come up to us and tell some wistful story about 'their' elusive window girl. Alas, Maggie wasn't meant for Ted. And yes, it was cool to have another 'Freaks and Geeks' alum on the show! I still think Buffy is winning, head-to-head, but the race isn't over yet!”"
