Q. I missed season two of “Downton Abbey” and wonder when it will be available on DVD.

Love that series.

A. The second season was released on DVD and Blu-ray last year. The third season, now on PBS, came out on DVD and Blu-ray last week.

Q. My husband and I just loved the show “Body of Proof” with Dana Delany. Can you tell me if it’s coming back?

A. As I mentioned recently, it is returning. But the show has changed a bit. Mark Valley and Elyes Gabel are joining the show, playing two police detectives, with Valley’s character also a former lover of Megan Hunt (star Dana Delany). Cast members John Carroll Lynch (who played detective Bud Morris), Sonja Sohn (Samantha Baker) and Nicholas Bishop (Peter Dunlop) are now gone. One producer told TVLine.com that “in trying to bring more eyeballs to our show, we wanted to change some of the dynamic and create new characters.

New episodes will start airing Feb. 19.

Q. What ever happened with “666 Park Avenue?” We love the show and miss it.

A. ABC decided not to continue the eerie drama beyond its initial 13-episode run. Ten of those episodes had aired by late December when ABC took it off entirely in favor of other programming. According to Deadline.com, the remainder of “666 Park Avenue” will air in the summer.

Q. Just wondering if “The Mob Doctor” is history?

Really got hooked on it.

A. You should probably undo that hook. The show is done. Fox ordered 13 episodes and, before all those had aired, decided not to order any more. The last episode aired on Jan. 7.

Q. I hope you will be able to solve a “mystery.

My husband and I had been staunch fans of “The Closer” and were sorry when it ended.

We watched “Major Crimes” and were getting adapted to the change and then it seemed to disappear. Will “Major Crimes” be back on the air?

A. Yes. For those of you tuning in late, “:The Closer” ended its run in 2012 when star Kyra Sedgwick decided it was time to move on. It continued with many of the other cast members under the title “Major Crimes,” That show did well enough in a 10-episode run that TNT ordered more. New episodes will begin airing this summer.
