Did I just miss it, or what? — Chris Pergolini, via e-mail A : It's "what." Trust us, with the hugely impres- sive ratings the Freddie Highmore-starring ABC drama has earned since its September premiere, it won't be going away permanently for a long while. The network did give it a rest on a recent Monday to air its Robin Rob- erts-hosted profile of coun- try-music star Luke Bryan, largely because that was a convenient slot in relation to the network's telecast of the CMA Awards two nights later. However, "The Good Doctor" is in very good shape to stay around for some time to come. Q : Could you tell me what happened to "Raising Hope"? I was faithfully watching it every Tuesday evening then it just went off. — Shirley Ra- scher, Rehoboth, Mass. A : We suspect you mean the ION Television med- ical drama "Saving Hope," and not the Fox comedy series "Raising Hope," which went off the air in 2014 — so you probably would have noticed that was gone long before now. The fifth and most recent season of "Saving Hope" was the last for the Canadi- an-made show ... thus, any threads that were left dangling by the last episode will remain dangling, barring a series revival or a TV-movie sequel (neither of which has been discussed, to our knowledge). The decision to end the Erica Durance-starring program was made after what turned out to be the concluding batch of episodes was ordered by ION (though the show had gotten its U.S. start on NBC) and originating network CTV. Q : I know the "S.W.A.T." theme song was a big hit on the music charts when the original show was on. Who composed it? — Paul Bronson, Buffalo, N.Y. A : That would be Barry De Vorzon, a Grammy-win- ning music veteran whose ca- reer dates back to the 1950s. Though he recorded some tunes himself in the 1960s, he's best-known for his writing and producing talents — and also for launching the record label Valiant, for which he re- cruited the group The Associ- ation. De Vorzon also co-com- posed "Nadia's Theme" for the CBS daytime staple "The Young and the Restless," and among the movie soundtracks boasting his sound are "Xana- du" and "Bless the Beasts and Children," the latter with an Oscar-nominated title song re- corded by The Carpenters.
