Q "Southland" has quickly risen to the top of "must-see TV" for my wife and me (even though, as my wife puts it, she "loves it but hates it," what with all the drama it puts kids -- both born and unborn -- through). The season finale didn't really have any "loose ends" and could be seen as a "series-ender," but I was curious if there is any buzz at all toward what TNT was going to decide on the fate of the show. I know the ratings aren't great, but if canceled, it will join the ranks of those cut too soon.
A At this writing, TNT has not made it official, but I fully expect "Southland" to be back.
Check Monday listings for 'Bones'
Q What is the status of the show "Bones"? It went off the air early this year and hasn't been back. I enjoy the show and all the characters and am wondering when it will return.
A "Bones" returned April 2 to a new Monday-night time slot.
Clearing up 'Housewives'
Q Did the writers make a mistake in the Penny's-birthday-party episode of "Desperate Housewives" when Tom reminded Lynette that she had been in labor 22 hours giving birth to her? I thought Penny was the product of an affair Tom had.
A I wondered about that, too, and it's easy to get confused because of the "Desperate Housewives" time jump between seasons a few years back. You're thinking of Kayla, who was the product of Tom's relationship with Nora. Per one of the show's writers/directors, Penny is Tom and Lynette's daughter.
