– I would like to know when “Saved” is coming back to TNT. –Lisa Jack, Okeechobee, Fla.
Unfortunately for fans of the show, it isn’t. The cable network recently decided the first season of Tom Everett Scott’s paramedic drama would be its only one. The success of “The Closer” has set a new standard for the ratings TNT would like its original series to achieve, and “Saved” didn’t reach that level.
Instead, the network is putting those resources into two dramas that will debut later this year: “Heartland,” with Treat Williams as a surgeon (yes, another one, “Everwood” devotees), and “Grace,” starring Oscar winner Holly Hunter as a police detective who literally gets touched by an angel.
-The actor who plays Deacon on “The King of Queens” is so good, I’m wondering if he has made any other sitcoms or movies. –Carole Clark, Corning, Calif.
The CBS comedy has given Victor Williams his first sustaining role in a series, but he has done guest shots on many other shows including “ER,” “Law & Order,” “The Practice,” “The Jamie Foxx Show,” “Profiler,” “New York Undercover” and “Homicide: Life on the Street.” Among the feature films in which he’s appeared are “Bewitched,” “Cop Land” and “The Preacher’s Wife.”
– Can you tell me what happened to the series “The Untouchables”? I never see it in syndication or offered on DVD. –Lawrence Mueller, Milwaukee
Your day is coming. Paramount Home Entertainment is slated to release a “Season One, Volume One” DVD set of the famously violent show — which starred Robert Stack as mobster-tracking U.S. Treasury agent Eliot Ness — on April 3.
– What ever happened to Randi Oakes of “CHiPs” fame? I can’t seem to find any credits for her after 1984. –Ken Ratley, Bedford, Texas
Neither can we. Since she married actor Gregory Harrison (“Trapper John, M.D.”) in 1981 and they have three daughters and an adopted son, one could assume the former model left the acting business to concentrate on being a wife and mom. Harrison has remained the family breadwinner by staying active on screen and stage, including a “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” episode he did last year.
