Q&A By Adam Thomlison TV Media Q: I’ve been watching old TV episodes of “Family Mat- ters”and I was wondering, what’s become of star Regi- nald VelJohnson?

It’s a question of expecta- hollywood tion.Since his classic ABC sit- com “Family Matters”wrapped up in 1998,Reginald VelJohn- son has done spots — granted, not large ones — on some of the biggest TV shows of the last 10 years,and added more than a dozen film roles to the tally. However, they were indeed small spots,after the broad suc- cess of “Family Matters”had made him a household name.

In- stead,a large number of small things followed. In fact he’s ap- peared in at least two produc- tions,but usually three or four, every year since. He did a two-episode arc on “CSI:Crime Scene Investiga- tion,”a guest spot in a holiday episode of “Will & Grace,”a turn in the guest-star-hungry “Monk,”and quite a few no- table big screeners, including the sleeper hit family comedy “Like Mike”(2002).

I be- lieve Sally Field was one of the producers.This movie never aired again and I would like to know why. A:There’s no easy reason why,except that these films are seemingly built to be forgotten. Made-for-TV movies,once known as “movies of the week,” because of that very prolific rate of release have become known as sort of disposable. That, sadly, is the short an- swer to why it hasn’t aired much SPORTS MOVIES FAMILY 9 AM 9:30 10 AM 10:30 11 AM 11:30 12 PM 12:30 1 PM 1:30 Turbo Dogs Shelldon Paid Program The Early Show on Saturday Yu-Gi-Oh!

To give you an idea,Sally Field alone has starred in 18 dif- ferent telefilms. However, this one’s notable because it’s one of the few times she’s stepped behind the cam- era.“The Christmas Tree,”along with the indie picture “Beauti- ful”(2000) and an episode of “From the Earth to the Moon”in which she also starred,mark the lone directing entries on Field’s incredibly long resume. “The Christmas Tree”starred stage-and-screen great Julie Har- ris and Hollywood brat-pack alumnus Andrew McCarthy,as 2 PM 2:30 Paid Program College Football Paid Program College Football (L) Paid Program Cheers Paid Program Woodwr- ight's Shop Paid Program an elderly nun who’s been grow- ing an evergreen tree for decades and the Rockefeller Center’s head gardener,who wants to cut the tree down and bring it to New York to be the center’s famed Christmas display.
