Second season of Orange is the New Black launched today.

 

Anyone else into this?

 

I have to admit to being a bit of a TV/movie-phile.  I generally buy Blu-Rays when there's a movie I want to see rather than just watching it on PPV or In-demand (I like to collect).

 

Premium TV has really been leading a creative resurgence in recent years, probably dating back to The Sopranos.  Its nice that Netflix has become a legitimate competitor for HBO (which puts out some really great shows like Sopranos, Deadwood, Boardwalk Empire, True Blood etc).

 

House of Cards was tremendous.

 

While cable channels like AMC are getting in on the act, I annoys me a bit.  The Walking Dead would be so much better on Netflix or HBO where they could truly appeal to adults (HBO passed on The Walking Dead when Thomas Jane was attached).

 

As for Orange, it took me a few episodes to get into last season but Im looking forward to banging out a few episodes tonight.

 

As an aside, for you Trekies, it was recently the 20th anniversary of the finale of TNG, one of the best Series' Finales in TV history.

so if American Gods is based on a book I'm starting to think that maybe the cast members should probably read these books before starting the job

What year is it again 

 

What do people think of Watchmen?  I just got the last two episodes and bits of previous ones.  Seems interesting.  I know it’s a sequel to the comic and not the movie but I thought the movie was brilliant (just watched it again) and there were some elements of that tv show that could have “sequelled” the film in cool ways.

I loved it. Finished the last episode last night. Very odd but very cool. You'll go on some weird, wild journeys during season 1 but everything fits together. 

It could be the best show on TV right now, IMO. I need to watch Season 1 again to absorb everything.

well then I hope you guys enjoyed it because I don't think the show runner wants another season, but then again they said Big Little Lies wouldn't be back for season 2 either, but then do we want HBO to be greedy? *cough cough* True Detective *cough cough*

hmmm I hope this means they're making room for the upcoming Nancy Drew series, even if it has to be a mid-season replacement

and it looks like Mad About You is going to be revived after all....but on a streaming service I'm don't think Canada has access to 

https://tvline.com/2019/03/06/mad-about-you-revival-spectrum-originals-premiere/

well I was wrong, it's going to air on CTV Comedy 

 

and a little heads up E! is going to be airing a Mad About You marathon next week

I wonder if they'll use the same judges or use different people...or better yet have one of them move to the masked dancer

YES! MORE NANCY DREW WILL BE ON THE WAY

This was pretty funny.  I knew a Dubois family in Lorette years ago but I don’t recognize anyone here.  
 

 

 

Went to Popeyes here in Calgary this evening to get dinner. Totally underwhelmed. Chicken wasn't very tasty. Man, I thought KFC was expensive!

This is what was funny about it coming to Winnipeg.....  people made such a big deal but it's so average  in flavour and what made it good in the States is how dirt cheap it was.... those prices did not carry over to Canada.

I NEVER would have paid those prices normally but I wanted to try it so I bit the bullet & despite my misgivings I paid what they wanted. But never again. Eight pieces of chicken, 4 biscuits, order of fries & gravy. $34.00!!!
