Micki: Do you know when Ugly Betty will be back? I don't watch much TV, but I did enjoy this show. Thanks!
Gail: April 24 -- and see my previous note to Julie.

Myron: WHAT TYPE OF STORIES ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE ONE OR NOT. THANKS.
Gail: I'm looking for stories about TV. And you're welcome.

Jerry: My wife and I have a question for you that Dear Abby wouldn't be able to handle: Who are the Oceanic Six? ABC was promoing the fact that the sixth member of the Oceanic Six would be revealed last week. Somewhere along the line we missed member No. 5. There's Jack and Kate (1 and 1A). And Hurley (3). And Sayid (4). And Sun (6).But who's No. 5? (And don't say Albert Pujols.) And when was No. 5 revealed? And where was I? (And don't say Lost.)
What a great show!!! As long as they tie up all the loose ends eventually.
Gail: If Jin is buried in Korea, he had to get off the island, so that makes him one of the Oceanic Six. That's how I'd heard the list all along: Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid, Sun, Jin. It broke my heart to learn that Jin was dead! At least he's still alive on the island.

Tom R.: "Secret Talents Of The Stars"? Did I hear right, and this is circus acts?
Gail: TV has come up with a lot of bizarre reality-competition shows lately, but this one is a doozy. "Celebrities" show off their hidden talents, which could be singing or dancing, but a lot of them are circus acts. And the list of "stars" is particularly bizarre -- from Clint Black and Sheila E. to Marla Maples and Cindy Margolis (whose only credit seems to be as a finalist on "Celebrity Cooking Showdown"). We may have to tune in, though, to see Danny Bonaduce learn to ride a unicycle.

Dick: Where is Boston Legal? Has it been canceled or is it just not airing because of the strike?
Gail: It's supposed to have new episodes in April. I think "Boston Legal" is becoming our new "Judging Amy" -- a question about it every week.
