• It was British writer and humorist Jerome K. Jerome who made the following sage observation: “It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do. Wasting time is merely an occupation then, and a most exhausting one. Idleness, like kisses, to be sweet must be stolen.”

PUZZLE ANSWERS

Q: I’m writing to inquire about “Human Target.” Is it coming back this fall, or maybe as a midseason replacement? At the end of the program last summer, it said it was the season finale, not the series finale. -- Fran N. in Ohio

A: Everyone involved in a show is always hopeful that it will get picked up for another season, hence the wording of “season finale” versus “series finale.” After the second-season finale aired, Fox decided not to renew “Human Target” for a third season. But hey, at least it got to have two seasons.

Even more of this fall’s new shows have been canceled after airing only a few episodes, including the CW’s “H8R,” ABC’s “Charlie’s Angels” (which will air its remaining produced episodes) and CBS’s “How to Be a Gentleman,” starring “Entourage” star Kevin Dillon.

On the critical list are NBC’s “Prime Suspect” and ABC’s “Man Up!” NBC’s “Pan Am” started fairly well, but has been hemorrhaging viewers left and right. However, this seems to be NBC’s darling, so it might get the network support it needs to survive the season.

• • •Q: When will “Merlin” return for another season

on Syfy? -- Mary D., via FacebookA: Syfy confirmed at this summer’s San Diego

Comic-Con that “Merlin” will return in early 2012 for its fourth season. However as of this writing, no firm date had been set. Also, BBC-One, which produces and airs the show first in the U.K., has approved a fifth season of the popular fantasy, and considering its good ratings on Syfy, there’s a great

chance we’ll get a fifth season here as well.

• • •Q: Is “Shark

Tank” gone from TV? I loved that show. Will it come back? --Anonymous, via e-mail

A: “Shark Tank” will be back midseason 2012 on ABC for its third season, along with “Secret Millionaire,” which returns for its second season. Producers for the hit entrepreneurial reality show have not yet announced an exact airdate for the season premiere of “Shark Tank,” but if past seasons are any indication, expect it sometime between January and March 2012. And keep checking the Celebrity Extra website (celebrityextraonline.com) for late-breaking info on all your favorite shows.

• • •Q: What is going on with Netflix? Is it still going

to be around, or is it going to be Qwikster? I am so confused. -- Dee Dee T. in Georgia

A: Netflix recently reversed its decision -- in a rare move of a big corporation actually listening to its customers! -- of having two separate websites/companies for its DVD-mailing service (which was to be Qwikster) versus its streaming service (Netflix). Because customers did not want the hassle of having two separate accounts, movie queues and billing state-ments if they wanted both mail and streaming DVDs, they voiced their complaints, and Netflix listened. Look for everything at Netflix to remain the same -- at least for the time being.

• On Nov. 17, 1421, a storm in the North Sea batters the European coastline. Over the next several days, approximately 10,000 people in what is now the Netherlands die in the resulting floods. Fatal floods struck in 1287, 1338, 1374, 1394 and 1396. After each, residents fixed the dikes and moved right back in.

• On Nov. 14, 1851, "Moby-Dick," a novel by Herman Melville about the voyage of the whaling ship Pequod, is published. "Moby-Dick" is now considered a classic of American literature and contains one of the most famous opening lines in fiction: "Call me Ishmael."

• On Nov. 15, 1867, the first stock ticker is unveiled in New York City. The advent of the ticker revolutionized the stock market by making up-to-the-minute prices available to investors around the country. Prior to this, information from the New York Stock Exchange traveled by mail or messenger.

• On Nov. 20, 1923, the U.S. Patent Office grants Patent No. 1,475,074 to 46-year-old

inventor and newspaperman Garrett Morgan for his three-position T-shape pole traffic signal. By having a position other than just "Stop" and "Go," it regulated crossing vehicles more safely than earlier signals had.
