No, the ending really did ruin the rest of the show for me. I know most people here are pretending it's an alternate universe or whatever, but I just can't do that. What has been seen can't be unseen.
With that finale they killed the hole show for the majority of the audience wordwide. I think the show will follow the example of shows like Roseanna, Chuck or Alias and will fill the night programm on second row channels.
I know everyone says the finale of Roseanne is awful, but I kind of like it? Maybe because it's because I didn't watch it when it aired, but it doesn't ruin the show for me.
I have to say that I never watched Roseanne. But from all what I heard the ending altered the last season and not the hole show. So I think the only people who will watch the show in the future will be casual viewer who didn't care about the overall story and people who liked T/R.
It definitely took back the final season, but it also technically altered the entire show from about season 3 on. Without spoiling it for you, in case you decide to watch it one day, Roseanne saw herself as a writer. She writes the last season as an escape. She also rewrites relationships because they make better sense in her mind that way (relationships that had started early on in the show, so repairing people would alter the show).
I didn't mind the twist that the entire last season was made up because I thought it made sense with way the eighth season ended. Especially when you factor in the ridiculous plots that occurred throughout the last season. The only thing I didn't like was the twists with Jackie, Darlene, and Becky because those twists meant changing things beyond that final season and I basically felt like it disregarded a lot of development for those characters

Same here. I want to pretend, so that I can go on loving the rest of the series, but I just can't do it. I can't accept 9.22 as an ending, either, because it just feels like foreshadowing now to the stupid "finale."
I was on a flight a couple of weeks ago that showed HIMYM on the main screen (so I couldn't escape it, even though I was watching The Americans on my iPad!) and it really made me mad, even just seeing it out of the corner of my eye. It didn't help that it was the episode from S9 after B/R got engaged where Ted whines to Lily about how it should've been him. Raaaaaage.

I know no other show that altered it's meaning the way HIMYM did it. HIMYM is now a perfect example how you should not make the ending of a TV-show!
