So You Think You Can Dance, on Fox
Some of the country's most talented young dancers compete to become America's favorite in this season premiere. Hosted by Cat Deeley, the Emmy-winning series features a panel of expert judges, including Mary Murphy and Nigel Lythgoe.
Q: We loved the show "Galavant"! It was clever, original, funny and had great music. We were very disappointed when it wasn't renewed. We'd like to get DVDs of its two seasons but can't find any. Do you have any information on that?
There are no DVDs available yet, but hopefully you're just looking a bit too early.
If the show had been a runaway hit, the network would certainly have rushed to get DVDs onto shelves, but "Galavant" never had that sort of success. Indeed, its lack of that sort of success is why it was canceled after two short seasons (season 1 had just eight episodes, while season 2 had 10, though ABC burned through them all in the span of one month in 2016).

The Late Late Show With James Corden
Over the weekend, the world's biggest-ever cyberattack spread around the globe, infecting 150 countries. It's pretty horrifying. Computers have been totally destroyed. In some cases, in extreme cases, people were forced to have actual face-to-face conversations. It was a nightmare.
The virus was stopped by a computer security expert who is only 22 years old. It is incredible. It's the first time a 22-year-old guy has stopped a virus without putting ointment on it.

Q: What happened to Geoffrey from "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"?
Technically, "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" is what happened to Joseph Marcell. He was a Shakespearean actor before, and he went back to the stage afterwards.
In fact, he believes it was his stage work that got him the job. Primarily based in England, Marcell went on tour with London's Royal Shakespeare Company in the early '90s. He recently told British newspaper the Mirror that the "Fresh Prince" casting agents saw him at a show in Los Angeles and were impressed.
