This week's TV Q&A responds to questions about "Saving Grace," "Legend of the Seeker" and closed captions on TCM. As always, thanks for reading, and keep the questions coming.
-- Rob Owen, Post-Gazette TV editor
Q: What happened to the rest of season four of "Saving Grace." I could only find one episode. I thought there were more to be burned off.
-- Allison, 56, Mt. Lebanon
Rob: According to TNT, the final six episodes of "Saving Grace" return May 24. The series comes to a conclusion on June 21 with two back-to-back episodes. The final season will be released on DVD July 13.
Q: Has 'Legend of the Seeker' been officially canceled? ABC hasn't released an official cancellation statement, so fans are using their hard-earned money to try and save the show. I'm all for fan campaigns, but I'd hate to be using my money to try and save something that's already dead and buried. However, if there's even a sliver of hope that I could help bring back a show that brings me one hour of happiness per week, I'd be all for it.
Should we expect to hear the bad news shortly or might there be other reasons for the delayed announcement?
Any scoop would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
-- Catherine, 22, Sewickley
Rob: Networks generally do not announce show cancellations (unless it's a long-running hit series and they want publicity about it ending). Journalists report when a show has been canceled but if you're waiting for an official cancellation notice, you'll be waiting forever. Personally, I think a fan campaign at this point is a waste of money. Once Tribune stations pulled out and declined to air future seasons of the syndicated series, the business model was broken.
A publicist for the show confirmed "Legend" has been canceled and a third season will not be produced. The series finale will air the weekend of May 22 with reruns airing through the fall.
