Question: A classic TV series was named "Combat" and was made in the '60s. The main character was Sgt. Saunders, played by Vic Morrow. We would very much like to know if it is on DVD.
Answer: The series, which originally aired from 1962 to 1967 on ABC, is very fondly remembered. The entire series has been released on DVD, in several sets consisting of part of each season, some "best-of" packages and a complete-series box. If your local retailer cannot get it for you, try online sellers such as Amazon.com.

Question: I would like to know if Rossif Sutherland is related to Donald and Kiefer Sutherland.

Question: Could you please tell me if "Mad Men" has been canceled by AMC? I have not seen anywhere if it has been renewed or canceled.

Question: When I was in elementary school back in the late '50s, every Christmas we would be herded into the auditorium to watch an animated movie called "The Littlest Angel." It was about a child angel trying to find the right gift for the newborn Jesus. I've never seen it on TV or on tape or DVD. Has it ever been released? I would love for my grandkids to see it.
Answer: This is one of those reminders of different viewing generations. For some, "The Littlest Angel" is a live-action film from the late '60s, starring Johnny Whitaker of "Family Affair" fame. For an earlier generation, there was this 14-minute animated film, made in 1950, and — like the later production — based on the Charles Tazewell book of the same name. (There is also a 1997 animated version.) The film you want is currently available through the Phoenix Learning Group, www.phoenixlearninggroup.com. for about $20.
Question: For many years I have been searching for a movie made for TV and not a documentary. The main star was Booth Powers playing the role of Jim Jones in the Jonestown massacre in Guyana.
Answer: That was Powers Boothe, not Booth Powers, giving an Emmy-winning performance in "Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones." It has been released on DVD more than once, and I have seen it for sale on Amazon.com. However, customers on that site have complained loudly about the video and audio on the DVD, so buyer beware.
