Q: "Masterchef" is often called the "biggest cooking competition in the world." Is that true? Is it because of the size of the prize or how many spinoffs it has spawned?

The phrase "biggest cooking competition in the world" is often used in relation to "Masterchef," but there seems to be no definitive explanation as to why.

It's likely a combination of three factors: the number of spinoffs and the size of the prize, as you suggest, but also good, old-fashioned ratings.

Q: Is the "Lethal Weapon" series coming back? I really enjoy that show, and I quite like the new guy.

No, it's not coming back. And though it may disappoint fans such as yourself, "Lethal Weapon" was a troubled show from the beginning, and so its cancellation likely seemed to some (such as star Damon Wayans, and presumably Fox Television) like a welcome release.
