In fact, he believes it was his stage work that got him the job. Primarily based in England, Marcell went on tour with London's Royal Shakespeare Company in the early '90s. He recently told British newspaper the Mirror that the "Fresh Prince" casting agents saw him at a show in Los Angeles and were impressed.

Pick your joke of choice: CMT has stepped all over "Sun Records'" blue suede shoes. CMT has chosen not to walk the line. There's no more shakin' going on at CMT. I could go on.

The point is, the network has ended "Sun Records" after its first season. I say "ended" instead of canceled, because according to the network's programming chief, that was the plan all along.

Q: I was enjoying "Time After Time" as a different type of program, and was looking forward to the rest of the story, but it was pulled mid-series! Can I rent or watch the rest of the episodes somewhere?

As of now, there's no way to watch the seven remaining episodes of "Time After Time." But that could change.

ABC hasn't officially canceled the show, though networks rarely cancel anything officially. Rather, it has simply replaced the show in its time-slot. That means it could bring back the show at any point and just call it a hiatus.
