Q: I’m a big fan of “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” reality programs. I’ve often wondered, with so many of these couples breaking up after getting engaged on the show, does the lead get to keep the engagement ring? – A.J.
A: ABC executive Rob Mills recently cleared up speculation about the ring. On each season of “The Bachelorette,” the two remaining bachelors meet with jeweler Neil Lane in West Hollywood to choose one of his sparkling gems to present to his prospective bride. If she says yes to one of their proposals, she can keep the ring, but only if the couple makes it to a certain point. According to Mills, if the couple breaks up before the two-year mark, neither gets to keep the ring and it’s returned to Lane.
Q: When is the fourth season of “Fargo” going to air? While I didn’t think the third season was as good as the other two, it’s still a far better show than most on TV these days. – B.B.

A: The Emmy-winning dark comedy series is making its fans wait, but hopefully that means it will return better than ever. Each season has a different star-studded cast (Martin Freeman, Kirsten Dunst and Ewan McGregor have appeared) with its own separate story and time period, but all have taken place in what I believe is the show’s biggest attraction – the snow-covered flatlands of Minnesota and North Dakota.
FX announced that the fourth season, set in the 1950s and starring Chris Rock, won’t begin filming until the fall of 2019, which means it won’t air on FX until 2020! This is likely because the show’s creator, Noah Hawley, is busy with other projects, including the feature film “Pale Blue Dot” starring Reese Witherspoon.
Q: Is it true that the Sue Heck character is going to star in a spinoff of “The Middle”? I loved that show and would like to see it live on with my favorite sibling of the Heck clan. – J.K.
A: The girl who once said “I can’t go to school today … my face is too oval” is all grown up now and headed to Chicago. The spinoff, “Sue Sue In the City,” was all set to go until a regime change at ABC scrapped it. The pilot starred Eden Sher as Sue Heck, with Brock Ciarlelli reprising his role from “The Middle” as her bestie, along with Chris Diamantopoulos (“Silicone Valley”) and Finesse Mitchell (“Saturday Night Live”).
Despite not getting picked up by ABC, there’s a chance the spinoff could find a place to call home on another network or platform. TV Guide pointed out that “Black-ish” spinoff “Grown-ish,” with a premise similar to “Sue Sue In the City,” found its way to the Freeform channel. So perhaps that network might be interested.
