Q: Has TNT canceled "Major Crimes"?
Actually, "Major Crimes" has been safe for a while now. It returns for a sixth season Tuesday, Oct. 31.
The renewal announcement was made with little fanfare -- the tone of TNT's statement made it seem like a bit of a no-brain decision for the channel.
It cited the show's "stellar ensemble cast" and the fact that it's "one of cable's most-watched drama series" as reasons why it picked up the show for another season back in January, well before the fifth season had ended.

<span>Q: I saw the movie "Breach," with Chris Cooper, in the theater a few years back, but was recently told it was based on a true story. Is that true?</span>
Not only is "Breach" (2007) based on a true story, it's based on "one of the worst cases of espionage the FBI has ever encountered." That's how CNN described the case at the time.
In the film, Chris Cooper ("American Beauty," 1999) plays Robert Hanssen, a veteran FBI agent working in counterintelligence to catch Soviet spies. However, it was revealed in February 2001 that for most of that time, Hanssen was, in fact, spying for them.
