Q: Can you tell me what happened to the TV series "Hell on Wheels"?
Nothing yet, but you should steel yourself for the end. Eventually.
Back in November, AMC both gaveth and tooketh away from "Hell on Wheels" fans. The network announced that the show would be renewed for a fifth season, but that it would be the show's last.
However, it will be the "last" season in the way AMC has been doing last seasons for a few years now -- that is to say, two semi-seasons airing a year apart.

Q: I saw a film the other day and I was hoping you could help me figure out the name. It was a "Freaky Friday"-type body-switching movie, but with a father and his son. I think the son was the boy from "Growing Pains." Any ideas?
The film you're thinking of is 1987's "Like Father Like Son." Though largely dismissed as a ripoff of "Freaky Friday" and subsequently forgotten, it is remembered by some as the first in a weird little boom of late-'80s body-swap comedies.
It starred Kirk Cameron, at the time riding high as the heartthrob star of the hit sitcom "Growing Pains," as the laid-back, cool-kid son of an uptight, class-conscious doctor played by British comedian Dudley Moore.
