A : At the time of this writ- ing, Anthony Anderson was the only star of the initial show signed so far to return, which he's able to do since his ABC series "black-ish" is coming to an end. (Its final season begins airing Jan. 4.) NBC — which is positioning the return as the 21st sea- son of the crime drama, as opposed to a remake or an update — is said to want to get others from the original show back, though some are committed to other programs now. However, in such instanc- es as those of S. Epatha Merkerson (now of "Chicago Med") and Jeremy Sisto and Alana De La Garza (both of "FBI"), they're on other series produced by "Law & Order's" Dick Wolf ... so it's possible that accommodations could be made. Meanwhile, Jeffrey Donovan ("Burn Notice") and Hugh Dancy ("Hannibal") have been hired as new regu- lars for "Law & Order," which is slated to be back starting Feb. 24. Q : I saw Amy Robach show photos of her re- cent trip to Antarctica, and when she showed her hus- band, it looked like it was Andrew Shue of "Melrose Place." Is that who it is? — Tammy Brady, Delta, Colo. A : It is. They've been married since early 2010, several months after they met at a book party — and in fact, they wed on Robach's birthday, Feb. 6. She brought her two daughters from a previous marriage, and she has three stepsons from Shue's earlier union. Actress Elisabeth Shue is Robach's sister-in-law. Q : I noticed that the Ma- cy's Thanksgiving Day Parade had a "portions pre-recorded" disclaimer at the start. How much of it actually was pre-taped? — Howard Moss, via email A : Relatively little, espe- cially when compared to last year's special, when the coronavirus pandemic made the parade a television-only event without spectators on the streets ... giving NBC the license to pre-record a lot more of it. It was pretty ob- vious that the Carrie Under- wood number was prepared in advance of this year's telecast, but by and large, the content was being done as viewers saw it live in the Eastern half of the country. (The Western half typically gets it on tape delay each year.) Send questions of gen- eral interest via email to tvpipeline@gracenote. com. Writers must in- clude their names, cities and states.
