Q: Is “Coal” going to be renewed on Spike or on any other channel? – Laura, 76, Pittsburgh A: A decision has not been made, but often the longer it takes, the less likely a renewal will happen.
Q: I have my DVR set up to tape “60 Minutes” only when it is new. For the past four weeks my DVR has taped “60 Minutes” because it was listed as new but they were all repeats. Am I missing something? Are they making some minor change to the repeat and then calling it new? – Mike, 50, Pittsburgh
A: For several decades the summer broadcasts of “60 Minutes” have been made up of repeated segments with updates reported by correspondents in their studio introductions or closes.
Q: In the July 21 “Suits” episode, who played the character who was a millionaire with seven daughters? Was it Susan St. James? How do I find a complete cast of characters for a USA network show besides asking you? They sure don’t make it easy! — Shirley, 71, Oakland, Pa.
A: No, they don’t. A publicist suggested the episode guides at usanetwork.com, but those do not contain guest-star info. And yes, that was Susan St. James in the July 21 episode.
