Television Q&A

QUESTION: Can you tell me the name of the song on the commercial for Travelers Insurance. Something like "Trouble," where a cute dog is worried about his bone and can't rest til he gets it insured. I love that commercial and the dog.ANSWER: The song is called "Trouble" and is performed by Ray LaMontagne. You can learn more about him at www.raylamontagne.com.

QUESTION: I was a big fan of the "Ally McBeal" series. Nobody seems to show reruns of it, nor can I find it in the video stores. How come?ANSWER: While it took some time to get to DVD, the complete series has been released in a single package, and there is a separate DVD release of the show's first season.

QUESTION: I am trying to find a Sally Field movie — with Judy Davis, I think — where Sally is hired as a maid in a difficult New England household. Might it be on DVD and/or available from Netflix?ANSWER: The movie is "A Cooler Climate," which first aired on Showtime in 1999. It was released on VHS, and I have seen old copies in that format for sale, but I do not know of an authorized DVD version.

QUESTION: In the late 1960s I saw a full-length movie (in parts) at my high school during lunch. It was not a new movie, obviously. It had Lloyd Bridges in it as a scuba diver. He rescued some people from a Latin American island, using an underwater inflatable room as a base and swimming in and cutting the bars of an underwater intake conduit to gain covert access to the island. Can you help identify it?ANSWER: You saw "Daring Game," a 1968 film starring Bridges, and produced by Ivan Tors, who also had worked with Bridges on TV's "Sea Hunt."Send questions or comments about movies, TV and other popular culture to rheldenfelsthebeaconjournal.com or the Akron Beacon Journal, 44 E.
