Though the rescue drama starring Angela Bassett and Peter Krause has been high-rated for Fox, the cost of making it has become that much higher as it approaches its seventh season, which diminishes the financial returns from it. As is commonly known, revenue for broadcasters has lessened in the streaming era, placing the price of a making a series (no matter how successful it is) under that much more scrutiny. Also, Fox doesn't own the show in the case of "9-1-1," but ABC corporate cousin Disney does (via its 20th Television brand), signaling a synergy that gives the latter companies a vested interest in keeping the series going. Interestingly, Fox is continuing the spinoff "9-1-1: Lone Star," but the financial aspects are different for that program with it being newer. Q: What was the last project Mary Tyler Moore did? — Janet Evers, Wichita, Kan. A: Her final acting role was a recurring spot on the TV Land sitcom "Hot in Cleveland" that reunited her with her former "Mary Tyler Moore Show" colleague Betty White. In fact, her last episode of that series also included "MTM" alums Valerie Harper, Cloris Leachman and Georgia Engel ... and the story's subtitle was "Love Is All Around," an obvious nod to the "MTM" theme song. Moore's career as a whole is being traced currently in "Being Mary Tyler Moore," an HBO documentary.
