Q: I've been watching the CW show "Arrow," and the name of one of the characters sounds familiar. I don't know how to spell it, but it sounds like "Ghoul." Anyway, wasn't he a villain in one of the Batman movies?

Ra's al Ghul was indeed the villain in "Batman Begins" (2005), the first in the recent series of films in which Christian Bale starred as the Caped Crusader. What you've hit on here is the fact that Batman and "Arrow's" main character, Oliver Queen, inhabit the same fictional universe.

Both started as comic book characters before ever going on screen. In the DC Comics series, Oliver Queen's superhero alter-ego was named Green Arrow.

You must have been watching the first episode of season 22, when all three hosts wore lapel pins of the Chilean flag.

There was no official announcement, or even an unofficial one from notoriously loose-lipped host Jeremy Clarkson, but the pins were likely a subtle thank you to Chile, which helped the "Gear"-heads out of a significant jam back in October.

One Big Happy, on NBC

Lizzy (Elisha Cuthbert) is thrown for a loop when Prudence (Kelly Brook) moves into the apartment in this new episode. With Prudence's boxes and belongings piling up, Lizzy is pressed to clean her ex's things out of a closet.

Q: Is A&E's "Rodeo Girls" toast? I used to run the barrel races as a kid and really enjoyed these ladies and all their drama and adventures.

It's a little hard to say, but it's looking like "Rodeo Girls" has taken its last trip around the barrels.

The show's long-term prospects were muddy to begin with. Though A&E officially announced it as a "six-episode series" before its premiere in December 2013, the show's official website lists those six episodes as being part of season 1, suggesting that there was at least the possibility of a season 2.

A tale of two terrors: Twisted, scary and off the wall, but also oh so entertaining. FX's "American Horror Story" would feel right at home with any of those descriptions hovering over it. No doubt, so would pop music superstar Lady Gaga.
