Fans of the ABC drama "Resurrection" certainly do deserve a satisfying wrap-up -- especially the ones who stuck with it all the way to the end of season 2, as the mystery got deeper and the viewership got smaller. But it doesn't seem likely.

The ratings decline is one reason: the season 2 finale drew just 4.6 million viewers, which may sound like a lot, but was just half of what the show's first episode got.

When Sadness causes Riley to cry in front of her new schoolmates, she and Joy set off a disastrous chain reaction in Riley's memories and end up lost deep in the little girl's mind.

Well, I think that that went fairly well. The sixth season of Fox's hit cooking competition "MasterChef" wrapped up in September with single mom Claudia Sandoval taking home the MasterChef trophy, but perhaps the biggest news coming out of that season was just how much of a hit Christina Tosi was.

Q: What is the young boy who starred in "Sleepless in Seattle" doing now?

Author: 
Adam Thomlison / TV Media

Like so many actors who find fame before they find adulthood, Ross Malinger couldn't make it last. After a fair bit of success lasting into his teens, he quit the acting biz to sell classic cars at a dealership in Malibu, Calif.

Ross Malinger, born in 1984, seemed poised for a promising film career when "Sleepless in Seattle" came out in 1993. Indeed, though he was just nine years old at the time, it wasn't even his first role.
