Q: The movie "Love With the Proper Stranger," which starred Natalie Wood and Steve McQueen, was such a good movie, but I've never seen it on TCM, etc. Is there a reason why?
It's not quite appropriate in this space to defend a particular network, but I feel the need to come to the defense of Turner Classic Movies. That network's purpose is to broadcast almost all of cinematic history, going all the way back to the silent era, and it only has 24 hours in a day to do it. Couple that with the sliding scale of what constitutes a "classic," plus the fact that new classics are being made every day, and you have an almost impossible task.

Q: I recently saw "Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration." No Miss Piggy? Why not?
Miss Piggy didn't appear on last year's big 50th anniversary "Sesame Street" special for the simple reason that she was never on "Sesame Street" to begin with. An anniversary special would be a weird time for a debut, even for someone as, let's say, self-confident as Piggy.
It's an easy mistake to make -- the histories of "Sesame Street" and "The Muppet Show" (Piggy's real TV home) are forever intertwined.

Ready to rumble: 'Prizefight' winner to be named in extended finale
Anne Burrell hosts "Vegas Chef Prizefight"
Most Vegas prize fights are 12-round contests, with two boxers slugging it out in the ring inside a famous Las Vegas venue. That's kind of the same idea behind Food Network's "Vegas Chef Prizefight," except you've got several chefs battling it out weekly (on our screens, anyway) inside the kitchens of some of the most famous restaurants on and off the Strip.
