Q: I just recently caught on to the hilarious show "Jeeves and Wooster." It looks pretty old -- is that the first thing that Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry did together?
Not by a longshot, actually.
When "Jeeves and Wooster" premiered on Britain's ITV in 1990, the pair already had a hit sketch-comedy show on competing network BBC, "A Bit of Fry and Laurie," which premiered in 1987. They would moonlight on both throughout "Jeeves and Wooster's" three-year run.
However, even that wasn't their debut together. Indeed, their partnership dates back to their university days, when they were members of the esteemed Cambridge Footlights amateur dramatic club.
Storage Wars, on A&E
The bidding begins anew as Darrell, Barry and the rest of the gang search more units for hidden treasure in the season premiere of "Storage Wars." The bidders only get a peek inside the unit before they buy.
Defiance, on Syfy
Humans and aliens struggle to co-exist peacefully after seven new races arrive on Earth in "Defiance." The series marks a first for TV as the show's story lines will be intertwined with those of the online game of the same name.
Q: The Stella sisters, Lennon and Maisy, singing the song "Telescope" on the "Music Of Nashville" CD, are just awesome. They are so talented. When I first heard them sing the song on the show, my mouth just dropped open. What can you tell us about t
A fair bit, actually -- they're among the most well-covered grade-schoolers in the media today.
Though they're based in the city of Nashville (in real life as well as on the show), the two are actually from Ontario, Canada. They moved to Tennessee with their equally musical parents, a country duo who perform under the name The Stellas.
