Q: Is "Murderville" going to come back soon? It only got six episodes!
So far there's no word on a second season for Netflix's improvised cop comedy "Murderville," but there seems to be a lot of confidence.

Q: I love the way Marissa dresses in "Bull," but why does she always wear dresses that zipper up the back, all the way from the hem to the collar?
You make an excellent point — Marissa Morgan in "Bull" has a distinctive look, characterized by this very specific type of dress. Yet she finds enough variety in it that it never looks like a uniform or a costume.
No one from the show, which was canceled earlier this year after six seasons on CBS, has addressed the style choice, but actor Geneva Carr ("Wonder Wheel," 2017), who plays the character, gave us a bit of a hint while raving about the show's preferred designer for her.
