Q: I love "Gotham" and the many talented actors in it. I read that this is its last season, but I'm hoping maybe the CW network will pick it up, since that network has so many more shows from the genre. Any chance?

Almost none. You can never say never, of course, but the producers have already moved on from "Gotham," and they would need to be behind a revival.

Q: In "America's Funniest Home Videos," why does the audience always look all dressed up?

You think of restaurants and nightclubs as having a dress code, but you'd never expect it from a show about people embarrassing themselves on camera. Yet "America's Funniest Home Videos" has one.

I guess we should think of it as attending two dozen film premieres -- if you want to be in the audience for the world debut of "Man Gets Hit in Crotch by Baseball Part 267," you have to dress the part.

American Housewife, on ABC

Taylor (Meg Donnelly) tells Katie (Katy Mixon) and Greg (Diedrich Bader) that she's going to use her college fund to travel to L.A. so she can audition for "American Idol" in this new episode. Her parents are skeptical, but her passion is undeniable.

Q: I was recently watching "A Star Is Born," with Judy Garland, on TCM. In parts of the movie, they use pictures with conversation playing in the background -- I was wondering why they did that.

That must have seemed pretty strange indeed. Airings of the restored version of the 1954 "A Star Is Born" (the second of four film versions so far) should start with an explanation of the strange story of how it came to be.

The film is now considered a classic, but it wasn't always. In fact, Warner Bros. hated it so much when it was first released that it pulled it out of theaters two weeks into its run and recut it, dropping a half-hour of screen time.

Bull, on CBS

Brilliant psychologist Dr. Jason Bull (Michael Weatherly) uses his knowledge of human behavior as he leads a trial consulting firm in this new episode. He and his highly skilled team use high-tech data and mock trials to create strategies to win cases.
