Q. What has happened to “Vegas?” Another
show replaced it on Tuesdays. Will it be back?
A. Tuesday is a very successful night for CBS,
thanks to “NCIS” and “NCIS: LA,” so it put
new drama “Golden Boy” in the 9 p.m. hour
on that night for a couple of weeks in the hope
that fans of the earlier shows will give it a try.
It worked. “Golden Boy” aired a episode last
Friday but will stay in the 9 p.m. Tuesday time
slot, according to the network. “Vegas” will
move to Fridays on April 5, following the network’s
coverage of the NCAA Men’s
Basketball tournament. CBS has ordered a full
season of the show – and it recently premiered
in England.
Q. I was wondering if the Queen mansion on
the CW’s “Arrow”is the same one they used
for Lex Luthor’s on “Smallville.”
A. It is. Both programs have used Hatley
Castle on Vancouver Island, British Columbia,
as a location. Completed in 1908, the castle
was commissioned by Canadian businessman
and politician James Dunsmuir, and its elaborate
look testifies to his assertion that “money
doesn’t matter, just build what I want.” It is
now part of the campus of Royal Roads
University,You may also have seen it in other
productions, including “X-Men” movies.
Q. I am wondering why Dog “The Bounty
Hunter” has not been on CMT as was published
to be happening.
A. “Dog and Beth: On the Hunt,” a new series
starring Duane “Dog” Chapman and wife
Beth, will premiere on CMT on April 21. Also
featuring the Chapmans’ son Leland, the show
will have them “step outside their headquarters
in Hawaii to unite with bail bondsmen
from around the country as they hunt down
some of America’s most dangerous criminals.”
The cable network plans to air at least 11
episodes.
