Dear Sun Spots: I used to watch Tim Sample and a lady cook, I believe on Maine Public Broadcasting Station. I have not seen it in months. Are they still on and if so when and where? – T. Woodcock, Farmington.

Answer: In addition to responses from readers, Sun Spots spoke with a representative at Maine Public Broadcasting who said you should check out the Maine PBS Web site at www.mpbc.org. Click on “What’s For Suppah?” and in the left hand corner of your screen, you’ll note “Learn About the Show.” It’ll list the episodes. If you pick the one you would like you can then call Audience Services for a copy of that particular episode. The cost is $25.30.
