   Alyson Hannigan is keen for HIMYM return   
      
       Alyson Hannigan says she's definitely up for a How I Met Your Mother   
   revival   
      
   However, the actress pointed out it could be tricky to work around the   
   series ending which finished with a glimpse into the future, showing what   
   happened to the five main characters.   
      
   "I think the creators kind of blew it ... they sort of gave away the   
   life-after-the-show in the finale. I was like 'you guys, don't give away   
   everything then we can't come back'," Hannigan told AAP.   
      
       The actress has come up with a way around that ending and pitched it to   
   one of the show's creators, Craig Thomas.   
   "I was like 'you could just have one of us go into the room with the kids   
   and say 'no that's not how the story happened, it's like this' and just   
   start over from the beginning from somebody else's perspective," she said.   
      
   The rumblings of a return for the popular comedy received traction recently   
   after 20th Century Fox chairman Dana Walden said she hoped to revisit the   
   show's characters, if the cast was up for it.   
      
   But Hannigan says she hasn't heard anything official yet.  "We had a lot of   
   little email exchanges about that and it was funny. It would be awesome but   
   I haven't had any phone calls," she said.   
      
   She would return to the show "in a heartbeat" and her Australian fans will   
   get a chance to quiz her further about that when she comes to Melbourne next   
   month for Oz Comic-Con.   
      
   Fans will also get to chat to her about the enduring appeal of the show that   
   made her famous, Buffy the Vampire Slayer.   
      
       "I feel like it's (Buffy) more popular today than it was back then when   
   we aired because now I feel like all the people who loved it when they were   
   growing up, now they have children and they're showing it. And with the way   
   entertainment is nowadays nothing is really gone, with the internet   
   everybody sees it forever," she said.   
      
       The show, created by director Joss Whedon, was a groundbreaking   
   comedy/drama and Hannigan's character Willow was one of the first lesbian   
   characters to appear in a TV show aimed at teenagers.   
      
       "I was so excited to be a part of that storyline and how Joss handled   
   the relationship and I thought that was amazing," she said. "I still meet   
   people today who are just so grateful that they had that character in their   
   lives growing up, it really helped them in such a profound way.  I do think   
   that it was a little ahead of its time, so I sort of often wondered that if   
   it aired now it would be really really popular because it still holds up."   
      
        Hannigan will appear at Oz Comic-Con at the Melbourne Convention and   
   Exhibition Centre on July 1-2.
