‘Better Late Than Never,’ ‘Bosch’ will be back

You have questions. I have answers.

Just wondering if the show “Better Late Than Never” with William Shatner will be coming back. That was by far and away the funniest reality show I have ever seen!

NBC has ordered a second season of the show, which focused on a globe-trotting group including Shatner, Terry Bradshaw, Henry Winkler, George Foreman and Jeff Dye. It was the most-watched new series of summer 2016, and all five stars are due back for the second run. The show, by the way, was inspired by a South Korean series called “Grandpas Over Flowers.”

Is Amazon Prime Video planning for additional seasons of “Bosch”?

Based on the Harry Bosch novels by Michael Connelly, the series starring Titus Welliver will be back for at least two more seasons. In fact, Amazon announced plans for a fourth season before releasing the third (which arrives sometime in 2017).

Is Rory Calhoun, the western star in the 1950s and ’60s, still alive? If so, how old is he and did he have a family?

The handsome actor best known for productions such as the TV series “The Texan” died in 1999 after a battle with “advanced stages of emphysema and diabetes,” the Los Angeles Times reported at the time. Calhoun was 76 and known for a colorful personal life as well as his screen work. The Times said he had three daughters with his first wife, singer Lita Baron, and a fourth with his second wife, journalist Susan Langley. The Las Vegas Sun also reported that he had a daughter with Hollywood starlet Vitina Marcus following “a whirlwind romance” in the late 1950s, while he was married to Baron. Indeed, when Baron sued for divorce, she claimed he had been unfaithful to her with 79 women. He reportedly said, “Heck, she didn’t even include half of them.”

I watch “Gunsmoke” all the time and on two episodes they had an actor named John Drew Barrymore. Is he related to the famous Barrymores and what happened to him?

He was the son of screen legend John Barrymore and actress Dolores Costello, the elder Barrymore’s third wife. Father and son were not close, although they apparently had some of the same demons. At the time of his death in 2004 at the age of 72, People magazine referred to John Drew Barrymore as a “sporadic actor” who had “well-publicized liquor and drug problems.” He was also the father of actress Drew Barrymore; they were not close either until the last few years of his life, when he was dealing with cancer and she helped take care of him.
