Q: I know you don't get these very often, but I have a sports question. I watched a boxing match a few weeks ago on Showtime, which was repeated later on HBO. Why did it air on both? Don't they usually compete?

It is indeed a rare thing for the competing premium-cable channels to co-operate on a broadcast. But it seems they were forced to this time.

The fight in question was between British fighter Anthony Joshua and Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko. Joshua has a contract saying that his fights appear on Showtime in the U.S., while Klitschko has a similar deal with HBO, hence the problem.

Q: Is the sitcom series "Still Standing" with Jami Gertz and Mark Addy out on DVD?

It's not, though I can't see a clear reason why.

"Still Standing" was never a smash hit or anything, but it got four seasons on CBS, from 2002 to 2006, which is enough to fill out a box set. It also features a couple of fairly prominent stars, albeit prominent at different times.

Lucifer, on Fox

Charlotte (Tricia Helfer) accidentally charbroils a man to death in self-defense, and Lucifer (Tom Ellis) tries to keep the truth of the matter from Chloe (Lauren German) in this new episode. He tasks Maze (Lesley-Ann Brandt) with tracking Charlotte down.
