James got out of his van to con- front Travis, causing a panic, accord- ing to defense attorney Robert Castle, that resulted in James being knocked down by the Neighborhood Watch vehicle and Travis charged for reckless driving and assault. "is is all terribly sad," Castle told Blackpool Magistrates Court in late April, as his client is "one of the eyes and ears of the police." Travis was fined 40 pounds plus court costs.

Question: I'm really going to miss "e Americans" big time. Any chance there will be a spinoff or continuation of the story with different characters? – Kenneth Matt Roush: I haven't heard anything to suggest the franchise continuing or spinning off, and I tend to doubt it. "e Americans" is taking place at such a specific time, and while Russian-U.S. conflict remains a provocative subject – see the latest season of "Homeland" – I'd think when the story of the Jen- nings family ends, that will be it. It would also be quite a challenge for any American 2.0 version to live up to the original. Question: "e Price Is Right" recently won the Daytime Emmy for Outstand- ing Game Show, but Drew Carey wasn't even nominated. I don't remember him ever being nominated in the 10 years that he's been hosting. Is there a specific reason for this yearly oversight? – Laura Matt Roush: Hard to fathom, because it's obviously not easy wrangling the contestants on that show – and Bob Barker earned a number of these awards during his long "Price" reign. (Maybe there was a sense early on that no one could fill Barker's shoes, but Drew Carey has settled in nicely over the years.) Personally, I just can't be- lieve these awards ever go to anything besides "Jeopardy!" and Alex Trebek.
