Submit your question to Rob Owen

This week's TV Q&A responds to no questions, instead running a hodgepodge of submissions -- misspellings, bad grammar, et al. -- from the past nine months. Some pose unanswerable questions, others ask no question and simply rant, a few contain questions whose answers would be of interest only to the person asking the question and still others are incomprehensible. I'll leave it to readers to decide which are which.

As always, thanks for reading, and keep those questions coming.

Q: My 3-year-old son loves "The Backyardigans." He also loves to play Playstation 2 games. I have been trying to get a hold of someone in charge of "The Backyardigans" to see if they could make a "Backyardigans" Playstation 2 game. I know my son would love it. And lots of other kids as well. Could you please let me know who I can talk to?

Q: My mom's father died on Jan. 28, 1953. It was a Wednesday evening and the show "This Is Your Life" was on. We have tried for years to find out who was the guest/celebrity that night. Can you help us find out who was on that show on that evening? I realize it's a strange request, but it's one of those family riddles that have bothered us for 54 years.

Q: With all the hype that the local stations have made about the weather conditions during the winter, why don't they include a reminder that you are required to clear all snow from your vehicle before starting out and are required to turn on your headlights when your wipers are on. It amazes me how many people drive in a rain or snow storm and think people can see them without lights on. It cost nothing to turn your lights on.
