Bad romance: 'You're the Worst' says 'I love you' with a third season
Chris Geere stars in “You’re the Worst”
Bad romance: What happens when two selfish, horrible people end up together? Well, it certainly isn't pretty. FXX's "You're the Worst" has spent two seasons exploring this exact phenomenon, and the result, it turns out, is hilarious.
Sitting 'Pretty': 'Pretty Little Liars' dishes up one mystery after another
Lucy Hale stars in “Pretty Little Liars”
So much for the belief that pretty girls have it easy. Over the course of six seasons, the four babes at the core of "Pretty Little Liars" have been dealt more than their fair share of lies, torment and drama.
Q: I've watched many episodes of "The Cisco Kid" and it's obvious that Diablo is played by at least three different horses. That made me wonder if the Lone Ranger used more than one Silver, or Roy Rogers used more than one Trigger. Do you know?
There were in fact two Silvers in the old "Lone Ranger" TV series, and three Triggers throughout Roy Rogers' long TV and film career.
The horses were renamed after being bought for their respective showbiz careers, so Clayton Moore and John Hart (the two actors to play the Lone Ranger) rode Silver No. 1 and Silver No. 2. With three horses in the mix, Roy Rogers apparently decided to get creative, so he rode Old Trigger, Little Trigger and Trigger Jr.
So good, it's scary: Season 3 of 'The Strain' premieres on FX
Rupert Penry-Jones as seen in “The Strain”
It's fun to be scared, ask any thrill seeker. It must be, given the recent surge in popularity of horror-drama series in prime time. From zombies to vampires and even serial killers, scary TV seems to equal good TV for millions of viewers.
Q: I used to watch the show "Ed," about a lawyer who owned a bowling alley. I think it ran from 2000 to 2004, and it was one of my favorite shows. Will it ever come out on video?
The short answer to that is: Who knows?
That's not meant to be dismissive, it's an actual question. Because no one seems to know if "Ed" will ever be released on video.
Q: Will "Reign," "Outlander" and "Underground" be back on again?
A: You've picked some winners here. Either you have an eye for these things, or else TV is just going through a historical-drama phase. "Reign," "Outlander" and "Underground" have all been renewed for more seasons -- some more than others.
