(:35) ›› Dragonheart ('96, Fantasy) By Jay Bobbin © Zap2it Q : I heard "The Odd Cou- ple" is ending. Is that true? — Don Jeffries, Boul- der, Colo. A : In describing the sitcom's status, CBS is using a common new terminology for networks, along the lines of "additional episodes are not being ordered." While that doesn't mean the same as "canceled" literally, it doesn't necessarily bode well for a show's future, and CBS main- tains the latest variation on playwright Neil Simon's prem- ise still remains a contender for next season at this point. Looking at the second-sea- son results for "The Odd Couple," one might have assumed it would be around longer without having a ques- tion mark over it. The series that stars Matthew Perry and Thomas Lennon built upon its first-season ratings in its soph- omore stanza, which helped to guarantee its third round for the current television year. We'll know in the traditional fall-schedule-setting month of May, if not sooner, what its actual fate is. Q : I'm intrigued by Irene Jacob, the new cast member on "The Affair." What has she done before? — Mary Scott, via e-mail A : Though the French-Swiss actress may be a relatively new face to many viewers of the Showtime drama, she's been active for three decades in a career that principally has been centered around fea- ture-film work. Her accolades include a 1991 Cannes Film Festival award for "The Double Life of Veronique." Claiming Charlie Chaplin as one of her main professional inspirations, Jacob also has the "Fugitive" sequel "U.S. Marshals" and the espionage drama "History Is Made at Night" among her credits. However, she has worked primarily in French-language projects ... making it appro- priate that her current "Affair" character is Juliette Le Gall, the romantic interest of Cole Lockhart (Joshua Jackson). Q : Please settle a debate. Was this holiday season the 50th anniversary of "A Charlie Brown Christmas"? — Mike Dempsey, Nashua, N.H. A : No, the 2015 holiday season was. ABC made quite a big deal out of it then, also commissioning an hour- long special — titled "It's Your 50th Christmas, Charlie Brown," with host Kristen Bell, Kristin Chenoweth (who won a Tony Award early in her career for the stage show "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown") and even President and Mrs. Obama — to celebrate the milestone. As indicated by its two showings during the December just ended, having started its second half-century, "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is destined to stay around for a long time.
