Q: Is the movie "Go, Man, Go" available? This was the original Harlem Globetrotters movie, starring them in the story of how they were formed.

Surprisingly, "Go, Man, Go" (1954) is not available on video, despite the fact that, among other factors in its favor, it also starred a very young Sidney Poitier.

Indeed, though the film did feature actual members of the famed trick-basketball team the Harlem Globetrotters, it was described by "The New York Times" at the time of its release as a "sports romance" which was merely "spiced" by "routines of fancy ball-handling and basket-shooting" by the Globetrotters themselves.

Q: My daughter always loved "Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey" at Christmas time, but we have not seen it for years. Is it too religious and not "politically correct"?

While it's possible that the overtly religious plot of "Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey" (about a donkey who leads Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem) has made it an unpopular choice for TV, it's more likely that poor Nestor is just the victim of a glut of Christmas TV. However, you can still find him.

Q: Please find out if "Longmire" is going to be renewed by A&E. In my opinion, it was a really good show.

"Longmire" has been renewed, but not by A&E.

It's been a roller-coaster few months for "Longmire" fans. The low point came at the end of August when A&E announced it was cancelling the fan-favorite series after three seasons.

But now the fans are back on top again, after the announcement a few weeks ago that online video streamer Netflix would produce the show's fourth season.
