Q: Why does the "Christy" DVD boxed set with Kellie Martin leave off the last episode when she marries the doctor and Fairlight dies? The episode was in the VHS boxed set.
The boxed set of the "Christy" TV series doesn't feature her marriage or the death of her beloved friend Fairlight because those things didn't happen in the series.
"Christy," the fan-favorite melodrama set in 1912 Tennessee, unfortunately had its original TV run cut short. The series itself ended on a cliffhanger, as the writers were expecting a renewal for a third season.

The contestants get another step closer to the grand prize with acts ranging from singers to contortionists in this new episode. Judges Howie Mandel, Simon Cowell, Sofia Vergara and Heidi Klum decide which contestants have what it takes to continue.
Q: Did they make a sequel to "The French Connection"? Was it also based on a true story?
Yes and no. There was, indeed, a (much less celebrated) sequel to the Oscar-winning action classic "The French Connection" (1971). However, it was a completely fictional continuation of the exploits of tough-guy cop Popeye Doyle.
The first film was based on a real case, first recounted in a book by Robin Moore. And for extra authenticity, the real-life narcotics detectives who inspired Doyle (played by Gene Hackman) and his partner Buddy Russo (Roy Scheider) served as consultants on the original.

He may not know what day of the week it is, but Jimmy Kimmel offers up just as many laughs filming his late night talk show from home. Kimmel's unabashed dad-humor and socially-distant interviews make for a down-to-earth brand of silliness.
