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

Seth M and DRM.... I am a fan of all these things. Very intriguing.....

Well I hope this has better luck than the Munsters reboot (Mockingbird Lane anyone?)

We had a great reboot 20 years ago.

 

yes I know the New Addams Family exists (man I can't believe back then to get around certain things in regards to reboots they had to add THE NEW to everything)

is it just me or does this feel like Deja Vu? I mean didn't he host the first post election episode back in 2016?

The cancellation axe has started swinging early this year: Fox has cancelled freshman dramas Filthy Rich and NEXT, just weeks after their respective fall debuts.

well, it's probably for the best.

I see this working for like one season at least, I mean at least it's more fun with the singers, where's the fun in it if we can't hear their voices, plus there's the added weight of the costumes

I think this may have slipped past me, but at least I won't have to worry about them showing up on CW Nancy Drew.

They probably won't name his replacement until the new year, would it be selfish if I wish that they would have another Canadian fill that duty? I'm not against this pick though (nothing is official)

Won't LeVar Burton's visor get in the way?

Have to laugh that Rosie Perez considered possible host. Isuzu Trooper anyone?

Lol Rosie Perez and Joe Rogan.... that news site is on crack. 

I do like Levar Burton,  great idea.   From what I read is that Vanna White and Pat Sajak are likely candidates. 

it's going straight to Disney+ though
