Entertainment Now | November 26 - December 2, 2022 By Adam Thomlison TV Media Q: I must have missed something: What happened to Frank on "American Pick- ers"? What is he doing now? A: What you missed was Frank Fritz being fired from the long-running History show and a subsequent very public feud between its three stars. Fritz had been off the show since 2020. At first, it was claimed that he left to deal with health problems, but Frank himself said afterward that his fight with co-host Mike Wolfe preceded his health bat- tles. "I haven't talked to Mike in two years," Fritz told the Sun newspa- per in 2021. "He knew my back was messed up, but he didn't call me up and ask how I was doing." They've continued throwing shots at each other via social me- dia in the year since. Meanwhile, Fritz has continued running his antique shop, Frank Fritz Finds, in Illinois. But he's not over it. In September, the Sun re- ported that the store had started selling T-shirts calling for Frank to be reinstated on the show. For her part, the show's other star, Danielle Colby, said via Insta- gram that she was "truly saddened for the loss of Frank on the show," but put the blame squarely in his lap. "I wish things could have been different, but we must be account- able for our actions when we cause instability or pain and suf- fering to others." (It remains un- clear which actions, exactly, she's referring to.) Rob Wolfe, Mike's brother, has seen his role on the show expand since Frank's departure. Once just an occasional presence on the show, he's now a regular fixture. Q: I love the theme to "The Big Bang Theory." Does that band do any other theme songs? A: Fan-favorite Canadian pop band Barenaked Ladies has ap- peared on countless TV and film soundtracks over the years, but usually just for the single use of hits from it large catalogue. "The Big Bang Theory" theme song is the main exception — it wrote an original tune specifically for the show — but it's not the only one. And the other example is a lot less fun. The band is best known for lighthearted and slightly goofy songs, which made it a great fit for "The Big Bang Theory," but the band has always had a way of sneaking sadder, more seri- 4 | Saturday morning 11/26 7 AM 7:30 8 AM 8:30 9 AM 9:30 10 AM 10:30 11 AM 11:30 12 PM 12:30 S1 S2 WTTV 4 CBS Saturday Morning (N) Lucky Dog Innovation Nation Mission Hope in the Wild All In W/ Laila Ali Did I Mention Paid Programming Paid Programming 4 4 WRTV 6 WRTV Week In Review (N) Good Morning America (N) Good Morning America (N) Retirement Hearts of Heroes Free Enterprise EarthSmarte Water College Football Teams TBA (L) (N) 6 6 @ WPTA WPTA Saturday Morning News II (N) Good Morning America (N) Good Morning America (N) Wildlife Nation oh baby!
