Friday Night In with The Morgans, on AMC
Celebrity friends, locals, fans and neighbors connect with Jeffrey Dean Morgan and his wife Hilarie Burton in a new episode of this series. Through candid video calls, the pair shares laughter and comfort from their farm in upstate New York.
Q: Why do they play the background music in movies and TV shows so loud? Many times you miss a lot of conversation due to this irritating music.
This is a question we receive fairly regularly, but every so often when the volume of questions rises (see what I did there?) we revisit it.
Unfortunately, there's not just one answer, nor is the problem likely to go away.
One of the reasons experts point to is show producers feel that a dramatic contrast between music and dialogue is exciting and "cinematic."
Broke, on CBS
Sammy (Antonio Raul Corbo) gets a school project in a new episode of this family comedy. A middle-class mom is forced to teach her super-rich sister and brother-in-law the ways of the real world when they lose their fortune and decide to move in.
Q: I'm trying to remember a TV show about an average Joe sheriff in a town of geniuses. Can you help me figure out what it's called?
I'll avoid the obvious joke here and say instead, hooray, I found it. The show you're looking for is called "Eureka."
It aired on Syfy (back when it was still called Sci-Fi) for six years -- almost to the day, in fact, from July 18, 2006, to July 16, 2012.
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., on ABC

World of Dance, on NBC
Jennifer Lopez, Derek Hough and Ne-Yo return as judges in this series' new season. For a shot at the million dollar prize, solo performers and dance crews compete in a variety of styles, including ballet, hip hop, ballroom, tap and more.
Q: I just finished watching "Notting Hill" again and I'm wondering what book Hugh Grant was reading in the final scene? Is it significant?
It's not significant to the plot, but the choice of book for Hugh Grant to read to Julia Roberts in their characters' happily-ever-after scene was significant to the producers.
The book was "Captain Corelli's Mandolin" by Louis de Bernières, and though it was a bestseller at the time the film came out (1999), and so was the sort of book their characters might well have been reading, it also happened to be the next film project that "Notting Hill's" production company, Working Title, was making.
