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.

The Crispr technology has proven to be nowhere as good as promised.

Those Rock On! shorts must have gone rather well if they're bringing Fraggle Rock back (but I can't imagine them bringing back Doc and Sprocket, mostly because Gerard Parkes passed on 6 years ago, and I just can't picture them recasting Doc)

Does Perry go to those meetings?

As someone who recently binged a bunch of Perry Mason, that looks to be a waste of time. Might be more inclined to watch it if it wasn't Perry Mason, but it has so little to do with the TV show, it's saddening.

Bring back Murder She Wrote....  with a dark twist where Jessica Fletcher secretly murdered everyone over the years!    It's no coincidence that everywhere Jessica went someone dropped dead!

So for those of you wondering.....it sounds like they used the same excuse as When Calls the Heart

Interesting.  I like SVU and I loved the original L&O.  My dream scenario is they bring back Chris Noth.  I only watched Criminal Intent for his episodes.  

Streaming has made a lot of these shows possible, especially franchises where ratings are as important as having lots of content to drive subscriptions.  CBS's strategy for Star Trek being another example.

well this is promising news (I think Nancy Drew was filmed in Vancouver, I really want to see what they were going to do in the intended season finale considering the major bombshell in the third last episode of the season)

I'm pretty sure this was actually what was happening. The media or the AARP covered it all up.

Cops is gone and now this

Read today on my phone that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds may not debut until 2022 or even 23. That there won't be one story arc for the entire season. That the series will be episodic. A beginning & an end to each episode. Anywhere between 10-15 episodes. It will also be going away from the more darker Discovery & Picard series. That it will be more optimistic in nature. Just making it episodic thus meaning easier & more simpler plots while delving into character development will truly make this show a hit.
