And when will "El- ementary" be returning to CBS? — Rev. Dr. Roger Raymond Fisher, Washing- ton, Pa. A : The "Blacklist" question has a more immediate and definitive answer. James Spader and Megan Boone will start Season 6 of their sus- pense series over two nights, Jan. 3 and 4, and the show will be seen regularly on Fri- days thereafter. "Elementary" is a bit trickier to pinpoint, not only since CBS hadn't yet announced a start date for Season 7 as of this writing, but also because that could be anytime between now and summer. This year, the Sherlock Holmes reimagin- ing didn't return until late April, and some people took that as a sign that the show might be ending. Instead, it will be back, and it may well be used again to help its network achieve the aim of offering fresh program- ming year-round. Q : It looked (and was said to be) so cold for this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, how did Savan- nah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb stay out there for several hours and get the job done? — Cindy Wells, via e-mail A : They're trained profes- sionals. That may sound like a quip, but even though NBC's weekday "Today" co-anchors often get to stay in their comfortable studio, they've worked in all sorts of conditions. That November morning in New York wasn't the only time they had to perform in the cold ... though, admittedly, that was pretty extreme cold by the standards of that date. Also, the forecast gave the special's crew ample warning of what to expect, so you can be sure Guthrie and Kotb had as many heaters as their broadcasting platform could permit safely. Still, for as good a time as they appeared to have (with it being the first time Kotb covered the event), they had to have been quite happy to get inside to genuine warmth once the parade had passed them by. Q : I read somewhere that "A Christmas Story" is 35 years old this year. How old is the actor who played Ralphie? — Kate Best, Co- lumbus, Ohio A : Peter Billingsley is now 47, and he's now primarily a producer-director. He told us several years ago that his classic yuletide movie often is on during gatherings of his family at the holidays. (The younger relatives, per him, ei- ther don't realize that he's Ral- phie or don't let that take them out of seeing the younger him as the principal character in the film.) Of course, TBS and TNT again will have their tradi- tional 24-hour marathon of the picture on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
