You have questions. I have some answers.

Q: I would like to know if any networks would be showing the wonderful series “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman” with Jane Seymour and Joe Lando. This has not been seen in a long time on any cable channel.

A: The drama series about a doctor in the Old West originally ran from 1993 to 1998, with a pair of made-for-TV movies following. The seeming chemistry between Seymour and Lando was much discussed and not long ago Seymour said it was more than acting. “We really fell in love,” she said, according to EW.com. The romance proved somewhat brief, but they have remained friends since.

As for revisiting the series, I have not found it on cable either. There are DVD sets of the series and the movies. It is streaming on Pluto TV (which also makes the show available via its pluto.tv website) and the Roku Channel.

Q: I am curious why the movie “The Turning Point” with Shirley MacLaine, Anne Bancroft and an amazing young Mikhail Baryshnikov is not available on any streaming service. It is such a great movie.

A: The 1977 dance drama certainly had its admirers among moviegoers and in Hollywood. It was nominated for 11 Oscars, including best picture, best director (Herbert Ross), best actress (both Bancroft and MacLaine), best supporting actor (Baryshnikov) and supporting actress (Leslie Browne). Still, it did not win any.

As for why it isn’t streaming, there are many reasons why movies and shows don’t get to streaming, most of them involving rights to music and other elements. I have not found the specific reason for this film’s absence. But you can still find it on DVD and Blu-ray. You may also want to see if your local library has it.

Q: The CW is currently running the second season of “Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent.” But I read somewhere that there is a Season 3 and 4, I guess showing in Canada. Do you know anything about it?

A: Yes, our friends in Canada have seen a third season of this piece of the “L&O” universe, and a fourth season is airing there. U.S. viewers just began getting the second season on The CW in October, and there’s been no announcement from the network about picking up the next two seasons.

Q: Of all the iterations of “NCIS,” how is it that they’ve never based a version of the show in an actual Navy town like Norfolk, Virginia? I know it’s not the sexiest title for a show, but Norfolk is the largest naval facility in the world after all. If that wouldn’t work, then they could at least do an “NCIS: Virginia Beach”; the show would still be close to Norfolk for plot arcs. Just a thought.

A: Well, both “NCIS: Hawai’I” and “NCIS: New Orleans” were in places with naval facilities. But I say this as someone who grew up in Newport News, Virginia, across the river from Norfolk, and has great affection for the area: even with all the Navy and other military there a title like “NCIS: Norfolk” just does not sing the way one does with Hawai’i, Los Angeles, New Orleans and New York in the title. It reminds me of the time Larry Hagman talked about “Dallas” and said the name was important — you wouldn’t watch a show called “Schenectady.” Which, by the way, is another of my old hometowns — so maybe I’m a jinx.
