Q: I've recently discovered "The Orville," and there are a lot of similarities with other series. Have there been any issues with the creators of "Star Trek" or other shows around copyright?
You aren't the first person to wonder about this, but "The Orville's" network, Fox, isn't worried.
"We're not really concerned," Fox CEO Dana Walden said in response to this question (but specifically about "Star Trek") at a 2017 press tour shortly before the show premiered. "We obviously have a big legal team. We vet things, so it's not like we're just flying by the seat of our pants out here."
Forrest Gump, on AMC
While waiting for a bus, Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) shares his remarkable life story with unsuspecting strangers, chronicling the ways American history at large became unwittingly influenced by the life and love of one simple man. Sally Field also stars.
Q: Are they making more "Archer"? I feel like I haven't seen it in a while.
There are a couple of possible reasons why you might feel you haven't seen "Archer" in a while, but regardless, there's more on the way. The show has been renewed for a 12th season, which is scheduled to debut Aug. 25 on FXX.
That channel situation is one reason you might be missing it (in both senses of the word). It used to air on the more popular FX network but was moved to the higher-numbered FXX in 2017.
The Celebrity Dating Game, on ABC
