Gibbs’ dad to be mourned in NCIS season finale
Q: The late Ralph Waite played Jackson Gibbs, the father of Mark Harmon’s character on NCIS. Are they planning to have an episode dealing with his passing?
A: TVLine reported shortly after Waite’s death that NCIS will deal with the passing of his character in the season finale on May 13.
You may also know that Waite played the grandfather of David Boreanaz’s character on Bones. While people from both shows mourned Waite’s passing, a Fox representative said Waite’s death won’t be dealt with in the current season, which had already been worked out before he died. It’s still to be determined what will be done next season.
Q: My question is regarding the series The Curse of Oak Island. It was on for four episodes, then it was gone. Can you tell me if it is coming back or not? They should at least let you know one way or the other.
A: The Curse of Oak Island, about two brothers searching for legendary treasure on an island off the coast of Nova Scotia, actually ran its five Season 1 episodes beginning in January on History. The good news is that the series was well received and will return. History just hasn’t confirmed when it will return, although November is most likely.
Q: Is Charlene Tilton from Dallas still acting? What movies and shows has she been in?
A: Tilton remains most famous for playing Lucy Ewing on the CBS version of the soap and some episodes of the TNT version. She still acts and has compiled a long list of screen credits; some include Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star, Superhero Movie and Reading, Writing & Romance. You can find more titles on the Internet Movie Database, imdb.com.
Q: What has happened to the A&E network drama Those Who Kill? It was on for two consecutive episodes and then just disappeared. I suspect it was a ratings victim, but I thought the program was unique and interesting.
A: Not interesting enough for many viewers. A&E yanked it after two telecasts. The show later resurfaced on Lifetime Movie Network, a TV sibling of A&E, where it is airing at 10 p.m. Sundays.
