Question: I know that NBC dropped FREAKS & GEEKS, but it's now running Tuesdays on Fox Family Channel. Are they just running the repeats, or will they be starting new episodes?

I've also noticed that the young star who played Sam is on commercials for the new Fox show BOSTON PUBLIC. Will he be a regular?

Answer: All 18 episodes of last season's critically praised but canceled FREAKS & GEEKS are being run on Fox Family. Cast members and crew have moved on to other projects, so there won't be any new episodes.

You've already sighted John Francis Daley (Sam), but he will be on THE GEENA DAVIS SHOW on ABC. Also look for James Franco (Daniel) playing James Dean in a TNT biopic next year.

Question: Please give me information about the Sci-Fi Channel host John Edward of CROSSING OVER.

Answer: The 30-year-old Long Island, N.Y., native says his first otherworldly experience occurred at age 15. Now he's one of the most sought-after psychics on the lecture circuit and says he has a one-year waiting list for private readings.

He has appeared on a number of TV talk shows, including with Larry King, Leeza Gibbons and Maury Povich, and is the author of the book ONE LAST TIME. Edward showcases his powers on his half-hour show Sunday through Thursday on Sci-Fi.

Question: May I have the address for FASHION EMERGENCY?

Answer: Write in care of E! Networks, 5750 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90036.

Question: I love the BATMAN TV show from the 1960s but I've had no luck finding it anywhere (cable, satellite, VHS, DVD, black market, etc.). Is it available anywhere?

Answer: The campy 1960s series is back on the air. Every Tuesday night, the SciFi Channel will air six back-to-back episodes.
