Despite all of their bragging about being immortal, vampires sometimes die. Or at least their shows do.

When the current season wraps up in March on CW, that'll be it for "The Vampire Diaries": It's been canceled after eight seasons of undead/mortal romance and complicated vamp-family politics.

Training Day, on CBS

Det. Frank Rourke (Bill Paxton) leads the Special Investigation Section, a unit that hunts down L.A.'s most dangerous criminals. When the department brass notices his morally ambiguous tactics, they pair him with a young, idealistic cop (Justin Cornwell).

The answer to your question is no, Jena Engstrom and Jenna Elfman are not related, but you raise an interesting point about names.

The European-derived tradition is to use one's given name first, and family name second. However, in other parts of the world that's reversed. Does that ever happen in Hollywood?

Tattoo Girls, on TLC

The all-female staff of a tattoo shop called Ink Ink rely on each other as they face life's ups and downs while running their unique business in this new episode. Owner and artist Kelsey created the shop the shop to feel different from the typical intimidating tattoo parlors.

Q: What will happen in March when "Once Upon A Time" returns?

"Once Upon a Time" has been on mid-season hiatus since December, slated to return Sunday, March 5, but the show's creators, Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, have been kind enough to offer some hints of what's to come.

For those who aren't familiar with it, the show draws on characters from the Disney cannon, putting them together in a single, sprawling story -- as such, its plot details will sound like utter nonsense to you. Just go with it.

Super Bowl LI, on Fox

The AFC champions take on the NFC champions at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, during the biggest sporting event of the year -- Super Bowl LI. New this year, Fox introduces a "Be the Player" feature, which allows simulated instant replays from the perspective of a player.

No matter whether they're big or small, chef Gordon Ramsay will judge them all. OK, so maybe that's not the best children's nursery rhyme, but anyone who keeps up with the eccentric British culinary icon knows that it's not far off the mark.
