With six kids, 13 grandkids and her own farm, it's easy to see why Nancy Fuller has had to lay down a few rules in her house. Oh right, and she also happens to run a multimillion-dollar business.

Q: What ever happened to the series "Covert Affairs"? Did I miss that it was canceled?

Author: 
Adam Thomlison / TV Media

Unfortunately, yes. About a year ago, the USA Network announced that it would not be renewing "Covert Affairs" for a sixth season.

That was a pretty tough pill for fans to swallow, since the fifth season ended on a pretty serious double-cliffhanger: Lead character Annie (Piper Perabo, "The Prestige," 2006) was about to decide both whether to marry Ryan (Nic Bishop, "Home and Away") and whether to take a new job on a CIA task force.

Q: While watching reruns of "The Big Valley," we noticed there was a fourth son, younger than Jarrod, Nick and Heath. He was only in a few episodes. Can you give any information as to who played this character and what the character's name was?

The character Eugene Barkley, fourth son of the Barkley clan whose lives formed the basis of the classic western series "The Big Valley," left the ranch to go to college. That's the easy part.

As for the man who played him, Charles Briles, that's a little trickier.

He only appeared in the first season, which aired on ABC in 1965. He was drafted by the U.S. Army, also in 1965. This much we know. What we don't know is if these two facts are related.

Q: Has "Devious Maids" been canceled? Also, I caught a couple episodes of a show last year about a doctor who kept coming back to life. I can't remember the show's name but liked it. Has it been canceled?

Considering the fact that you hardly got to know it, it shouldn't come as too much of a blow that "Forever," about a centuries-old doctor who is trying to cure his own immortality, is dead for good. The network canceled it after its first and only season.

But "Devious Maids," which you're clearly more familiar with, is coming back.

That show was less of a risk, though -- "Devious Maids" is going into its fourth season later this year, and its previous three had all been hits.

Reboots, reboots and more reboots. They're the biggest fad for networks these days, but if you've got a successful product, why not milk it for a bit more story (and money, of course)?

Late Laughs for the week of March 27 - April 2, 2016

Conan

Chris Rock did a fantastic job hosting the Oscars last night. In fact, his jokes about the all-white Oscars were so good, the Academy has already decided they won't nominate any black people again next year.

 

In his Oscars monolog, Chris Rock said black actors should get roles like Leonardo DiCaprio does. Then black actors saw the bear scene from "The Revenant" and said, "We're good, actually."

Carrying on the family business just doesn’t have the same wholesome feel that it used to. At least, not when the whole family is prepared to drop the gloves and fight tooth and nail to be the one wearing the company’s crown.
