Q: Why was “Big Sky” canceled?

— Don Carr, Bridgeport, Conn.

A: We’d suspect that the ultimate determining factor for ABC was the fact that the ratings for the third (and, in the end, final) season didn’t improve much, despite the show having a major cast addition for it in Reba McEntire. Hiring her had to have cost a pretty penny, at a time when series expenses were and are being scrutinized more closely than ever. Had “Big Sky” gone to a fourth year, the network probably would have wanted or needed a “name” of the same caliber (McEntire wasn’t expected to return) and whether the cost would be worth the return would have to have been part of that conversation. It likely was an easier decision to cancel the series rather than continue it when its ratings potential apparently had reached a plateau.

Q: I’ve noticed that the James Bond movie “Tomorrow Never Dies” has been on cable a lot lately. Is that because co-star Michelle Yeoh recently won an Oscar?

— Phil Strand, Attleboro, Mass.

A: That probably doesn’t hurt, but the HBO channels already had made a deal to run that and several other Bond adventures for a good chunk of this year before Yeoh won her Academy Award for “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” Given the level of fame and professional acknowledgement she now has, it’s fun to see her at that earlier stage, though being in a Bond movie raised her international profile considerably when that picture was released in 1997. In retrospect, Pierce Brosnan has a pretty good track record for having worked with best-actress Oscar winners during his four-film tenure as Agent 007. Halle Berry also won her award for “Monster’s Ball” while she was filming “Die Another Day” with Brosnan in 2002.
