Q: Any idea when "The American Bible Challenge" and "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" are coming back on?
Sadly, it looks like never for both shows. But I can only say "looks like" because you can never count Jeff Foxworthy out.
Foxworthy, who hosted both shows, has already given us an unlikely revival of "5th Grader" in 2015 (not to mention a number of "revivals" of his Blue Collar Comedy franchise). However, neither "5th Grader" nor "Bible Challenge" has produced a new episode in years, which is generally a bad sign.
The Blacklist, on NBC
When events from Reddington's (James Spader) past come back to haunt him, he's set on a dangerous collision course in this new episode. He goes up against an enemy who will stop at nothing to destroy his career.
Chicago P.D., on NBC
The team catches a disturbing case when a woman is murdered while jogging in the park in this rebroadcast. Atwater (LaRoyce Hawkins) and Rixton (Nick Wechsler) are quick to respond, and see two suspects fleeing the scene, but the chase is cut short when a priest blocks their way.
Q: I'm a big fan of the show "Three's Company." I've been thinking of going to California on a vacation, and would love to visit where they filmed the show in Santa Monica and Venice. Could you tell me some info about the area and what restaurant they use
Hopefully you're a big enough fan to remember the opening credits, because they contain the only locations you'll be able to find. The rest of the show (including, unfortunately, the Regal Beagle) was filmed on studio sets.
Prison Break: Resurrection, on Fox
T-Bag (Robert Knepper) ambushes Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies) to warn her that it appears she's being followed by two of Poseidon's henchmen in this new episode. Elsewhere, Michael (Wentworth Miller) plans his next move. Dominic Purcell also stars.
Southern Charm, on Bravo
Shep's protégé, Austen, is eager to prove he's more than just the new Shep in a new episode of this reality TV series. Also this season, Thomas becomes Mr. Mom when he and Kathryn officially part ways, while Kathryn tries to rebuild her life.
Q: Why does Chris Evans appear on the cast list for "Ant-Man"? I've seen that movie a dozen times and Captain America was not in it. There's even a scene in the subsequent film "Captain America: Civil War" in which Steve and Scott meet for the first time.
Did you stick around for the whole movie? While you're right that Captain America and Ant-Man don't meet in the latter's 2015 feature, Cap does appear on screen.
Late Laughs for the week of April 16 - 22, 2017
The Late Late Show With James Corden
Plans for the border wall continue, and on Sunday, "Fox News" reported several requirements that the White House issued for the wall. They said it must be 30 feet high, good-looking from the U.S. side and difficult to break through. Basically, the wall should be tall, but not fat or ugly. It's pretty much like Trump updated the Miss Universe regulations and just made them about the wall.
