Q: I put on a baseball movie the other day, but it wasn't what I was looking for. It was called "The Rookie" and I was hoping it was a '90s Disney movie about a teenager who breaks his arm and becomes a superstar pitcher. Instead, it was about a middle-ag

But it's possible that the one you're looking for is "Little House on the Prairie: Special Collector's Edition," because, first of all, it includes the telefilm "The Last Farewell" (pretty close to "Final Farewell") and, second of all, it's hard to find.

Q: Can you tell me who played the cop in "House at the End of the Street"? He looked really familiar to me and I'm not sure why.
