CBS gave up on the "How I Met Your Dad," the new "How I Met Your Mother" spinoff, with network entertainment president confirming the report by saying that she's absolutely "heartsick" about the decision.

According to Deadline, the "How I Met Your Dad" has been stuck in limbo since last Friday when CBS announced its list of ordered pilots and the "How I Met Your Mother" spinoff "How I Met Your Dad" was not among them.

Nina Tassler, CBS entertainment president, said that the reasons were purely creative because there were "elements of the pilot that didn't work out."

"Creative always drives the business. We felt re-piloting was in the best interest," she said. "I'm heartsick."

Deadline reported that CBS wanted to re-pilot "How I Met Your Dad," a decision not fully supported by 20^th Century Fox TV, which produces the series. Instead, 20^thCentury Fox gave a counter-offer and that is for CBS to take pick up the series along with the commitment to "retool the pilot."

Now, 20^th TV is shopping the "How I Met Your Mother spinoff with other network and "it already has received interest," the website added.

Greta Gerwig, the indie sensation who found herself thrust into the spotlight following the critically acclaimed "Frances Ha" which she starred and co-wrote with Noah Baumbach, will play Sally in "How I Met Your Dad."

According to E! News, Sally is a "sweet yet free-spirited girl in her late-twenties" who seems to have the Peter Pan syndrome. Unlike Ted in HIMYM, however, Sally is already married when viewers see her in the pilot episode. But Sally will realize that her personality clashes with her husband.

"With the help of her close group of friends, Sally will embark on an epic tale of bad-dates and crazy shenanigans, before eventually finally finding the father of her children," Leanne Aguilera wrote on E! TV Scoop.
