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.

Outside of BBC News and TNG i dont know what else they had. Maybe they are getting a good cut from Acorn profits.

Ah, a Mike Mercury fan.

I may have missed it earlier, but anyone watching Costner's "Yellowstone"...? It just came to Prime, so only I'm a couple eps in. It's interesting and I can tell you, every person in rural Alberta will claim this as their favourite show ever. It's a real authentic look at their life, on a grander scale...

Alabama lite.

I can tell ya, every March, my radio station is on location to help advertise a MASSIVE bull sale (international scale) and the ranch that hosts it, while not as big as the Dutton ranch, is comparable in a smaller scale... This show feels so familiar. 

Remember this week is the week when Alex Trebek's final Jeopardy's will air

Its Alberta. Lots and lots of bull is normal.

really? on what affiliates? because I haven't seen the show on either my affiliate listings or  the WTVS listings in eons, not to mention they ended production years ago. Also I feel compelled to bring up that it was the first show to air on Teletoon when it launched (not a joke)

That little punk had it coming. Although, I blame his parents for their lack of discipline.

I think I just realized everything could end up being pre-empted tonight because of the events that are going on in DC

Streams /  Kodi / Torrents / Amazon Prime / Netflix is never pre-empted

too bad none of those stream Jeopardy (which I'm keeping my fingers crossed will be shown on the west coast, speaking of which

wait a minute, I just realized something, the Canadian channels that do overlapping won't pre-empt tonight's programming (kind of makes me wish that Jeopardy still had a Canadian affiliate) looks like I won't be missing the Masked Dancer tonight after all. Oh I hate it when they do this during the superbowl but it might be a blessing tonight

 

well it seems the coverage has stopped.  If those two screw us out of the rest of Alex Trebek's Final jeopardies guess how I'll feel

it's on deck for us tonight, too. Apparently 2 eps released for this week, then it'll be one per week after that. I'm sort of confused as to what the show is, exactly, and how Vision is still alive. There's apparently some kinda "preview" thing that explains "how we got here" that'll be available to stream before the first ep...
