Question:My wife seems to think that one of the characters on the new show "Committed" is Malcolm-Jamal Warner from "The Cosby Show." I say it's not. We've got a dinner riding on it. Got any info?

Answer: Yes, but do I get dinner or even a package of pre-dinner crackers? No.

I'll just have to make do with the mundane trappings of my life — limos, champagne, groupies, a crib worth millions and Paris Hilton on the speed dial. (OK, so every man in America has that last one.) Warner, of course, is a regular on another series, the CBS sitcom "Listen Up."

Bowie, on "Committed," is played by Darius McCrary, who played Eddie Winslow on ABC's "Family Matters" in the 1990s.

Question: I don't know anyone who knows the words to the last line or two to the theme song for "All in the Family." I'm sure you know them and sing them at least once a day. Could you please print them?Answer: Just once a day? Three times at least!

Boy, the way Glenn Miller played

Songs that made the Hit Parade

Guys like us, we had it made

Those were the days

And you knew who you were then

Girls were girls and men were men

Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again

Didn't need no welfare state

Everybody pulled his weight,

Gee, our old LaSalle ran great

Those were the days!

Question: I have this haunting recollection of a movie I watched one night as a child. I was ill and my mom set up a portable TV near my bed due to the fact that I wasn't sleeping well. I recall a black-and-white movie called "Blue Denim." Was I dreaming? I do not recall too much, only the title. Help!Answer: "Blue Denim" is a 1959 film about teen pregnancy, with the young couple played by Carol Lynley and Brandon DeWilde. Also in the cast are Macdonald Carey and Marsha Hunt.

If you're looking to use it as a sleep aid once more, you're out of luck; it's not yet on video or DVD.
