The Janes, on HBO
This premiering documentary follows a group of women in the 1970s who risk their personal and professional lives to support women with unwanted pregnancies. Directed by Tia Lessin and Emma Pildes, this film is a timely reaction to recent U.S. events.
Q: I looked up actress Arlene Martel, who appeared in classic shows such as "Perry Mason" and "Star Trek," and saw that she was once married to a Robert Palmer. Is this the musician Robert Palmer?
You might as well face it, Robert Palmer is a pretty common name.
For those who don't recognize it, I'm not trying to be rude, it's a reference to English pop singer Robert Palmer's 1985 pop smash, "Addicted to Love." But it's also true — Robert Palmer is a common name. So common that the Pennsylvania-born actor Robert Palmer, the one who married fellow thespian Arlene Martel, chose to go by a different name, Boyd Holister, for most of his career.

Murphy (Perry Mattfeld) and friends continue to investigate the death of one of their own in this drama's fourth and final season. After the blind, hard-living Murphy turned herself over to police in the Season 3 finale, a new set of problems arises.
Q: I saw an episode of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" recently in which someone was eating Let's brand potato chips. Then I saw the same brand in an episode of "Community." Is that a real chip company? I've never seen them for sale before.
If you're not a props master on a TV show, it's unlikely anyone has ever tried to sell you Let's chips.
Let's is a fake brand made by Independent Studio Services, the California-based props company behind many pretend TV products. (Heisler Golden Ale, consumed on such disparate shows as "Malcolm in the Middle" and "Prison Break," is also an ISS product; as is Fight Milk from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.")
