Q: What happened to that "Name of the Rose" show on Sundance?
It ran its course -- it named its rose (depending on how you interpret the title).
This version of "The Name of the Rose" (not to be confused with the 1986 Sean Connery movie) was created as a miniseries, so only one season was ever planned.
It was based on the novel of the same name by Umberto Eco, a murder mystery set in a medieval monastery.
Eli Roth's History of Horror, on AMC

Big Sky, on ABC
Kylie Bunbury and Katheryn Winnick star as private investigator Cassie Dewell and former detective Jenny Hoyt in this procedural drama. The duo joins forces with locals and unlikely allies to put a stop to a slew of crimes in this series' second season.
Q: Where did the line, "You can run, but you can't hide," come from? Is it a quote from a movie?
It's a line, but it's not a movie line — at least not originally.
The first recorded use is from the great American heavyweight boxer Joe Louis. He was asked about his upcoming fight with challenger Billy Conn and whether the lighter Conn would employ a hit-and-run strategy. Louis responded, "He can run, but he can't hide."
He proved himself right, knocking out Conn in the 13th round (back when title fights had 15 rounds, instead of the current 12).

Late Night With Seth Meyers, on NBC/CTV2

4400, on CW/Showcase

Q: Are they making another season of "Jack Ryan"? I've really enjoyed it so far.
They are making a third season as we speak. Unfortunately, they aren't far enough along to announce a premiere date.
What they have announced, though, are some plot and casting details, and there's plenty there to get you excited if you're a fan of twisty thrillers, big-budget action or the great character actor James Cosmo. (For a certain type of screen fan, the latter piece is the biggest news.)
Curb Your Enthusiasm, on HBO
Larry David returns for the highly anticipated 11th season of this hit fictionalized-reality TV show. The pandemic is likely to factor into this new season as the "Seinfeld" co-creator gets himself into all sorts of misadventures around Los Angeles.
