More love and marriage on ‘How I Met Your Mother’ By Kate O’Hare © Zap2it

Boy meets girl; boy marries girl; boy and girl have a boy and girl; boy tells his boy and girl how he met his girl. In a nutshell, that’s the premise of the CBS comedy “How I Met Your Mother,” which ends after nine seasons with a onehour series finale on Monday, March 31. If all goes as fans hope, by the time the last credits roll, New York architect Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) will at long last lock eyes — and who knows, maybe even lips — with “The Girl With the Yellow Umbrella” (Cristin Milioti), his future wife and the “Mother” of the title. Also, retired playboy Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris) will have exchanged vows with news anchor Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders), Ted’s ex-girlfriend, and spouses and new parents Marshall and Lily (Jason Segel, Alyson Hannigan), Ted’s longtime pals, will continue to be the adorable couple they’ve always been. Carter Bays, who co-created and executive produces the show with his longtime pal and writing partner Craig Thomas (they met when Thomas became the drummer for Bays’ band at Wesleyan University), is just back from a week in Hawaii. Spending time in paradise with his wife and two children was intended to help him from the stress and exhaustion of getting “HIMYM” (as fans call it) over the finish line. “I hadn’t really done the Hawaii thing,” he says, “and it was everything they said it would be.”

Cristin Milioti some wonderful stuff coming up. They’re two people who follow their gut, and that’s what their love story has been about. It’s about their feelings for each other.” While Ted always had one eye on the altar, Barney let his eyes roam. “What else is there to do with a character like that than watch him grow up?” Bays says. “The last few episodes will give a real accelerated view into just how much Barney grows up.” Having found his bride, Bays can heartily recommend the married state to any bachelors watching the show.

THE VIEW FROM THE COUCH

By Jay Bobbin © Zap2it (Ratings for each film begin with a “star” rating — one star meaning “poor,” four meaning “excellent” — followed by the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and then by a family-viewing guide, the key for which appears below.) STARTING THIS WEEK (New releases): “ANCHORMAN 2: THE LEGEND CONTINUES”: It was a long time coming, but television newsman Ron Burgundy

Of all the twists and turns of the final season (which has played out as one very long weekend before Barney and Robin’s wedding) and the finale, the end has always been in sight. “I feel like the less we say about the finale, the better,” says Bays. “This is the ending we conceived when we conceived the show 10 years ago. It’s what we’ve been steadfastly writing towards ever since.” If Barney and Ted finally both make it down the aisle, they’re going to be a few years behind the show’s creators, who loosely based “HIMYM” on their own experience as buddies sharing an apartment in New York. Both Thomas and Bays are husbands and fathers, but it was not always thus. “At the beginning of the series,” says Bays, “I related to Ted, because I was single, and I hadn’t met my wife yet. Now, I feel much more like Marshall and Lily, although there is a lot of Ted and the Mother in my wife and I. There are a few details that are taken directly from life.” While Ted and Barney stand in for many singles who are either looking for true love or merely just a good time, Marshall and Lily started the show together, got married and had a baby — but at no point did they become boring. Says Bays, “Marshall and Lily have been almost like immortals, almost like Greek gods, representing marital love. They’ve always been superhuman in that way, and they continue to be. “They have trouble — and there’s a little bumpiness ahead for them — but there’s just

“Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues” (Will Ferrell, of course, who cowrote the film with director Adam McKay) and his crew go back before the cameras in a sequel that’s virtually sure to please fans

of the original comedy. It sends up the dawn of 24-hour news networks, as Ron leaves San Diego to join one in New York after being disappointed by not getting an expected promotion while his now-wife Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) did. Steve Carell, Paul Rudd and David Koechner also are back on board, with Greg Kinnear and Kristen Wiig among newcomers ... plus some other very familiar faces, including Harrison Ford and Will Smith. ››› (PG-13, R and unrated: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand) “47 RONIN”: Keanu Reeves learns the ways of the samurai

in this fantasy adventure about a group of feudal warriors — the ronin of the title — who seek vengeance for the death of their master. Reeves’ character has an extra reason for being on the mission, since he’s in love with the deceased leader’s daughter (Kou Shibasaki). The occasional appearances of witches and monsters add momentary visual interest, but some may find hanging with the story more of a challenge than expected; Rinko Kikuchi (“Babel”) and Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa also appear. DVD extras: “making-of” documentary; deleted scenes. ›› (PG-13: AS,

V) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand) “BROADCHURCH: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON”: Such a success that Fox is planning its own Americanized version, this British mystery series — shown in the U.S. on BBC America — casts David Tennant (who also will be in the Fox revision) and Olivia Colman as police detectives probing a boy’s murder. The crime has pronounced effects on many of the area’s residents, also including reporters who are covering the case; additional cast members include Jodie Whittaker and David Bradley. ››› (Not rated: AS, P, V)

“You have to meet the right person,” he says. “At the same time, it’s wonderful. It’s great. There is no right time; there is no checklist you have to hit. You have to be open to it, and you have to find someone who’s open to it, and who you get along with. “When you do that, it’s great. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.” As to whether the Mother resembles his wife, Bays says, “I’m nervous about comparing the two. I definitely think the way Ted loves his wife comes directly from how I love my wife, for sure. I don’t think I’d be able to write that stuff if I hadn’t gone through it myself.”

“THE PIRATE FAIRY”: Characters and situations from “Peter Pan” inspire this animated Disney tale, with Mae Whitman (“Parenthood”) returning from past projects to voice Tinker Bell again. However, the tale’s central figure is Zarina, voiced by Christina Hendricks (“Mad Men”) — a fairy who goes astray and aligns with a band of pirates ... led by one (voice of Tom Hiddleston) who will go on to be none other than the notorious Captain Hook. “Smash” alums Anjelica Huston and Megan Hilty also are heard in the film, which includes music by Natasha Bedingfield. ››› (G) (Also on Blu-ray)
