Q: I really miss "Party Down" with my favorite guys and gals. Will it return to TV?
A: Yes. Starz has ordered a second season of the ensemble comedy, about a Hollywood catering crew full of people with show-business ambitions. It is tentatively scheduled to return in April 2010. But there will be changes. Jane Lynch, above, has left the series for her regular role on "Glee," while "Will & Grace's" Megan Mullally has joined the "Party Down" crew.
Q: Do you have any idea as to what or who is holding up the DVD release of the 1974 buddy cop film "Freebie and the Bean"?
A: The movie, which starred Alan Arkin and James Caan, has been released by Warner Bros. through its online archive series, where you special-order the DVD and a copy is dubbed for you for about $20. It's an intriguing way for the company to make available an array of titles that stores might not want, but some consumers do. I have not tried it, but have been tempted. Check it out at www.wbshop.com, by clicking on the movies bar and then the Warner Archive line.
Q: For a little over a year, I have been searching for Volume Two of "Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors." It doesn't appear to be available. I very much want to complete my collection of this animated series. Is there a chance you would know where I could buy it?
A: Shout! Factory, which released the first volume in 2008, has not scheduled a release of a second volume. It appears the first did not sell as well as hoped.
