– Didn’t Carol Burnett appear in an old “Twilight Zone” episode? What was the title and story line? –D.L. Lawrence in California.
Yes, Burnett appeared in a May 25, 1962, “Twilight Zone” titled “Cavender Is Coming,” in which an angel trying to earn his wings (Jesse White, long known as the Maytag repairman) tried to help Agnes Grep (Burnett), a down-on-her-luck woman. Cavender, the angel, gives her a lavish new home, but Agnes misses her friends and asks to return to her old hard-knock life. Donna Douglas (“The Beverly Hillbillies”) also had a small role in the episode.

– We are heartbroken since losing our little dog, Pepper. How can we get in touch with Sonya Fitzpatrick, Animal Planet’s “Pet Psychic”? –Janet Hall, Augusta, Ga.
You’re in luck in that you don’t live prohibitively far from Orlando, Fla., where Fitzpatrick’s series tapes. You can write to her c/o “The Pet Psychic,” Building 22A, 1000 Universal Studios Plaza, Orlando, FL 32819. If you wish to attend a taping, you must go online to animal.discovery.com and look for the application form that you may either submit online or print out and mail. Good luck!
– Our favorite new TV show is “Hack” on CBS. Can we count on it being there past this season? –Mary Lou Feasel, Ontario, Ore.
Slow down there. These days, shows have to wait to see whether they will even be picked up for a full first season, which CBS has done for “Hack,” widely regarded as one of the unexpected hits of the season. Its future as far as next season goes will not be announced until late spring, but signs look promising at this point.
