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.

you know I have said before that any series that didn't have a decent or good ending should have a revival (thank god Glee had a happy ending)

and Last Man Standing will end for good next season

My wife watches Hallmark movies and literally they are all interchangeable with the exact same beautiful white female lead with perfect hair who lives in a massive house that's immaculately decorated and clean all while being a single mother.  She meets a guy who is clean shaven also in perfect shape with a male model face who is sweet and who she never appreciates until 10 minutes left at the end of the movie when she realizes that true happiness is being who she is and with that guy who loves her for who she is.  She will then either decline taking that corporate job in the big city and/or dump her current boyfriend who doesn't truly love her and either way end up with the male model and everyone is happy.    It appears that they use different actors but I can never tell them apart they all look the same. 

I think I've seen her watch at least 20 movies from hallmark with that exact same plot. 

DId you know that most of them are filmed in Canada?

They filmed one @ Southdale RecCentre about a month+ ago when it was 30c. So much fake snow.

They were filming one on Saturday at the Hydro building. 

(I'm guessing it was, I don't have the production schedule anymore but the size of the crew was consistent with a movie.)

hmm I would have thought they would have done something similar for what they did for their 25th Anniversary

This isn't exactly what I hoped to hear, I mean if Roseanne undid Dan's death why couldn't they do this

well one of my predictions was accurate they did have inflatable food items as bonuses (just not the deli cheeses)

oh that's not fair

Finally they are going back to the world of Willow!  Fantastic movie!

I'm guessing here it'll air on either Teletoon or Chrgd.....or the rebranded Family which is mostly shows on Netflix anyway

I am unusually giddy about this. It better not suck.

well they got the original voice actors involved (but Yakko might not sound right due to age and surgery) but the original creators and writers aren't (except for Spielberg)

So a guy who was in a show called Eastbound & Down is working on a show whose namesake song is Eastbound & Down?
