Reminiscing about the glory days of youth? Don’t. Bestselling author John Green — whose work has spawned a legion of big- and small-screen adaptations — certainly doesn’t. In Green’s stories, teenagehood is hard enough (and then some) as his beloved characters go through puberty, prom, and first love in tandem with far bigger worries ranging from cancer to obsessive compulsive disorder. People go missing, people aren’t ever found, people die.
It’s not exactly the stuff of popcorn entertainment, but Green’s stories always place a premium on the viewpoint of the kids who experience them and the youngsters who observe them. Being a teenager? It’s not for the faint of heart. Being a Green teen? Well, at least someone is treating you like an adult.
The latest Green adaptation, “Turtles All the Way Down,” offers yet another sterling example of that mindset and the power of it.

My sophomore year of college started with “How I Met Your Mother.”
I had just moved into my first apartment with four roommates, some of whom I’d known for years and others who were effectively strangers. As another University of Michigan Welcome Week unfolded, we started every day on the couch bingeing this show none of us had ever seen before, becoming instant fans. Whoever woke first each morning would start the day’s viewing, the theme song beckoning us to crawl out of our respective bedrooms in a Pavlovian undergraduate hangover ritual.
We never found our way back to the series, then in its sixth season on CBS, but would always remember it as an essential part of becoming roommates. I’ve only revisited “Himym” once since its notorious 2014 series finale — it aged poorly enough for me to make immediate peace with never returning again — and had no...

Warning: This story contains spoilers from “A Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Valentine’s Day,” the March 7 episode of “How I Met Your Father,” now streaming on Hulu.
Does Lizzie McGuire grow up to be Sophie Tompkins? It sure looks like. During Tuesday’s episode of “How I Met Your Father,” the group reflects on their past Valentine’s Day experiences. When it’s Sophie’s (Hilary Duff) turn, she has a flashback to when she was 13. Then, a clip of the Season 2 premiere of “Lizzie McGuire,” which aired in Feb 2002, is shown, during which she’s talking on the phone to her boyfriend while Miranda (Lalaine) is at her side.
So, does that mean that Sophie and Lizzie are the same person? “I’m not confirming that, but it felt like a really fun thing for us to do,” executive producer Elizabeth Berger tells Variety. “We got a temperature check from Hilary,...

What follows are glimpses from the gang’s past — all newly created except for one. Rather than hire a teenage actress to play 13-year-old Sophie, the series cuts to a clip from Hilary Duff’s early-aughts sitcom.

Aside from taking inspiration from its predecessor, “How I Met Your Father” creators Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger drew from their own experience navigating adulthood in a messy yet endearing way for the show’s sophomore season — including being locked in the stairwell of a New York skyscraper on the first day of a new job.
“This whole series is very much based on that chapter of our lives where we were living in New York and hanging out with your friends all the time, and your friends are your second family,” Berger told TheWrap of the duo’s time in the East Village while attending New York University. “We are just constantly looking back at that time and channeling those feelings: when you’re still trying to meet your person and it feels like the end of the world if you haven’t met them yet, and you’re...

If there’s one thing that How I Met Your Father fans can agree on, it’s that Sophie is a hot mess. In particular, her love life is, to put it lightly, a catastrophe. Sophie is the Ted Mosby character of the spinoff, after all, so it’s understandable that she doesn’t have anything figured out by season 2. But according to Hilary Duff, who plays Sophie in How I Met Your Father, Sophie’s life will get worse before it gets better.

Neil Patrick Harris has reprised his famous How I Met Your Mother role as Barney Stinson.
In the season two premiere of Hulu’s How I Met Your Father, it appears that the 49-year-old actor will play a pivotal role in the spinoff series.
Series creators Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger told TVLine that Harris will return as Barney for more episodes.
“Whenever we talk about bringing back a member of the original crew, you want it to serve two purposes,” Aptaker said. “You want to give some tidbits about what is going on in their lives, where they’ve landed and where they’re at, but it’s also about how they impact the How I Met Your Father story, and how they send one of our characters in a new, unexpected direction.

Neil Patrick Harris made a surprise return to his Himym character Barney Stinson in the Season 2 premiere of Hulu’s How I Met Your Father, and it appears he will play a pivotal role in the spinoff series.
In the final beats of the episode titled “Cool and Chill,” the timeline shifts to a year after the events earlier in the episode. Sophie leaves her mom Lori (Paget Brewster) a hysterical voicemail saying she thinks she is dating her father before suddenly crashing into a luxury SUV. When the driver’s side door opens, the victim is revealed to be Barney. He shrugs and tells Sophie, “Dude!” just as the bumper falls off the Audi onto the sidewalk.
When future Sophie (Kim Cattrall) is asked by her son who that guy is she replies, “We’ll get there soon enough.”
Harris played Barney for nine seasons of Himym. After first...

Barney Stinson is back!
How I Met Your Father Season 2 got underway on Hulu on Tuesday morning with quite a surprise for fans of How I Met Your Mother.
During the season premiere, Sophie (Hillary Duff) hit Barney's car while driving.
It was a true shocker because the series managed to keep it under wraps until transmission, which is practically unheard of these days.
Harris previously interviewed Duff for Wondercade and was vocal about not thing Barney's antics would work in a show in 2022.
"Barney's antics, his overt delusions of grandeur, would likely get everyone in trouble," he said.
"So, unless he's changed his ways or joined a nunnery (insert an insert joke here), not sure if it's in anyone's best interest."
"I'm not sure how you feel about this, but I'm pretty sure Barney would … be in jail in 2022," Duff told him.
"Since we're living in the world of females coming into power,...
