You have questions. I have some answers.

Q: I have watched with enjoyment “Tulsa King” and am wondering if there will be more seasons.

A: There has been talk about the hit drama starring Sylvester Stallone being renewed for a third and fourth season on Paramount+, although I have not seen an official announcement. However, Stallone made clear in an Instagram post some time back that there will be at least a third season, saying “It is time to get ready … Go Team Go!”

Q: Has “The Gilded Age” come out with a new season on HBO? I keep seeing it advertised but can't find it.

A: There will be a third season sometime this year, although it’s not clear exactly when. Shooting reportedly wrapped in January, after which — as “Gilded” star Carrie Coon told Screen Rant — “they'll do all their CGI business and get it out to the people.” That may not be until late this year. But for now, those of us who cannot get enough of Coon can see her in the third season of “The White Lotus” on HBO.

Q: Do you know when “Hacks” will be starting up again?

A: April 10 will bring two new episodes of the award-winning HBO comedy starring Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, kicking off the 10-episode fourth season. According to the network, “Tensions rise as Deborah (Smart) and Ava (Einbinder) endeavor to get their late night show off the ground and make history doing it.”

Q: Back in 1961, ‘62, ’63, there was a TV show called (I think) “The Skin Divers.” Main characters Larry Lars and Mike Madison had some adventure, fights, romance. What ever happened to the show?

A: I think you are remembering “The Aquanauts,” which aired for a single season in 1960-61. Ivan Tors, the producer for the longer-running “Sea Hunt,” was also behind this show, which starred Keith Larsen and Jeremy Slate as Drake Andrews and Larry Lahr, professional salvage divers when the show began. According to “The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows,” in January 1961, Larsen departed and Ron Ely (later famous as a TV Tarzan) joined the show as Mike Madison. That February, the title was changed to “Malibu Run” and the format revamped, but it did not save the show.

As for readers’ TV peeves:

Q: One of my peeves is close-up scenes in the front seat of a car when the driver looks over to the passenger for a prolonged amount of time while they are talking. In real life the car would run off the road with that degree of inattention.

A: It does happen. But there are also shows where a distracted driver leads to a sudden accident. Of course, TV accidents can also irritate viewers, like this one:

Q: On “The Lincoln Lawyer,” Mickey's Lincoln SUV is rammed from behind by a tow truck.

The impact is so severe that the car is knocked off the road, and rolls at least six times. The vehicles appear to be initially moving at 40 mph or less; then the driver, Eddie, floors it when he notices the pending collision. Despite a Lincoln SUV having a top speed of 149 mph, somehow the much, much slower tow truck can speed up so much more quickly, is able to cause a catastrophic collision, and by the way, incurs zero damage to itself while doing so. I was once rear-ended when the Firebird behind me was traveling at a huge rate of speed compared to myself. The impact was not a small thing, to be sure, with considerable damage to the back end, but guess what? My car stayed in its lane, did not leave the road, and did not tumble at all.

A: I am glad you were not riding in a TV show car.
