4th season of ‘The Good Fight’ coming

Q: What happened to “The Good Fight”? It had some of the characters from “The Good Wife.” It was on last fall for a few episodes and then disappeared. I thought the storyline was really good and would love to see more of it.

A: “The Good Fight,” the successor to “The Good Wife,” has had some airings on the CBS broadcast network. But Good Fight’s main TV home is CBS All Access, a subscription streaming service. Three seasons have been shown there since 2017 and a fourth begins on All Access on April 9.

Q: I have a video of two films made in 1935 and 1937, “Murder at the Baskervilles” and “The Triumph of Sherlock Holmes,” starring Arthur Wontner as Holmes and Ian Fleming as Watson. Both were filmed in England. Is that Ian Fleming also the creator of James Bond?

A: No. The author Ian Fleming, born in 1908, would have been a bit young to play Watson in those productions, especially in tandem with Wontner, more than 20 years his senior. The actor Ian Fleming was 20 years older than writer Fleming and better suited in age for Watson, playing the role in four of Wontner’s five Holmes films.

Wontner played Holmes on screen from 1931 to 1937 in “The Sleeping Cardinal” (also known as “Sherlock Holmes’ Fatal Hour”), “The Sign of Four,” “The Missing Rembrandt,” “The Triumph of Sherlock Holmes” and “Silver

Blaze” (also known as “Murder at the Baskervilles”).

Q: I have a question about Ted Bessell, who was Marlo Thomas’s boyfriend on “That Girl” and in two episodes of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.” Is he alive?

A: Unfortunately, Bessell died in 1996 from an aortic aneurysm. He was 57. Bessell did have a good career as an actor and a director. Nominated for an Emmy once as an actor on “That Girl,” his work directing and producing “The Tracey Ullman Show” led to more nominations, including sharing an “Ullman” win for best variety, music or comedy program in 1989.
