You have questions. I have some answers.

Q: Many decades ago, I saw a show that began with a close-up of a man putting eye drops in his eyes and then letting out a bloodcurdling scream. I don't remember if he was blinded or killed as a result. The story then follows with something like a “Mission: Impossible” international intrigue. I'm thinking that I saw the show on TV, but it may have been a movie shown on TV. I am still traumatized all these years later now that I must use eye drops with cataract surgery. Can you identify the name of the show and the year?

A: It appears that you saw “Arabesque,” a 1966 spy movie with Gregory Peck, Sophia Loren and an early sequence involving eye drops and a scream. Directed by Stanley Donen, it has often been compared to Alfred Hitchcock’s work.

Q: I don't expect you to know the title of a Glenn Ford movie where he plays a chauffeur or butler who earlier in life had been an award-winning racing driver. His co-star may have been Hope Lange or Kim Novak, although it may have been someone else. But I hope you do know.

A: The movie you are wondering about is a romantic comedy called “Love Is a Ball,” from 1963, with Glenn Ford, Hope Lange, Charles Boyer and Ricardo Montalban.

Q: On “Storage Wars,” are Brandi and Jarrod still together?

A: Jarrod Schulz and Brandi Passante were partners in work and love when they joined “Storage Wars” in 2010, but over time their personal relationship cooled and reportedly ended in 2018.

Q: In the "old" days, a program was said to air for a number of years. Now jargon is that a show has been on for a number of seasons. Is a season equivalent to years, or is a season now considered fall and spring?

A: For the most part television shows’ duration has been counted in seasons, but what constitutes a season has changed. It basically refers to a planned set of episodes for a series followed by a break before a new season begins. In the early years of television, the season lasted about 39 weeks, roughly from September through April, and TV shows filled those weeks. But over time, because of financial issues and other factors, a show’s season can have far fewer telecasts — six is not unusual. And even a season can be fragmented, with networks offering “midseason finales” before a show takes a weekslong break.

Q: With all the cliffhangers in the third season, will there be a fourth season of “Ginny & Georgia”?

A: Yes. The fourth season of the Netflix series was ordered along with the third-season renewal in 2023. It’s not clear when the fourth season might arrive, but writers were reportedly working on it even before the third season premiered this June.
