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.

eh it had to end eventually but I think by leaving Anna Faris may have left the writing on the wall

 

They were just talking about a new spinoff in Hawaii but cancelling to make room for it?

Were they not guaranteed this season to close it off?

Well unfortunately depending on what region some are in there are going to be episodes of the muppet show missing (Two of which are missing world wide. Brooke Shields due to music rights issues, thanks alot Wizard of Oz, And Chris Langham well...the same reason why the Simpsons pulled Stark Ravin' Dad from syndication, and why it's also not on Disney+) The Kaye Ballard one is missing in the US and for some reason outside of North America they don't have John Denver or Spike Milligan (uh why?)

 

and now I'm questioning since when were the rights to Somewhere Over the Rainbow easier to get than We're Off to See the Wizard?

I guess they're doing specials until things are safer

 

Quote

In this new special, “the citizens of South ParQ are clamoring for the COVID-19 vaccine,” according to Comedy Central’s official synopsis. Unfortunately, “a hilarious new militant group tries to stop the boys from getting their teacher vaccinated.”

Wait they're letting Mr.Garrison teach again? (i read from other fans that they said the creators wanted Garrison to teach again but, man PC principal is going to be putting up a fight here

For a second there I thought they were going to do adaptations of the prequel books (it revolved mostly around Frankie Stein and a Normal girl named Melody Carver who recently had a nose job because her parents thought it would help her breathe better because of her Asthma....I'm not sure that's how it works...oh and the school was called Merston High in the prequels)

this season is going to be strange indeed. but I hope they don't keep changing the format too much, that's what turned me off of AGT

Not unless the event was held in Saskatchewan, and then gopher al dente would be a side dish.

I assume you caught my reference?  It's what the Mayor of Schitt's Creek orders at the local Cafe. 

I have never seen Schitt’s Creek and I am not a big binge watcher or streamer. The last episodic tv show I invested in on network TV was Big Bang Theory, and online it was Game of Thrones. So it got me wondering, what tv show (either network or online) have you never seen or barely watched that was seemingly very popular or that “everyone else” watched? I never had HBO so many of them I could only see later on Netflix and such and couldn’t be bothered to binge.  
 

My short list would include Sopranos (seen snippets but never even a full episode), Breaking Bad (quit after one season on Netflix) and Arrested Development (not even one second of it), to name but 3 of many. 
 

So what are others not watching that would surprise the general public?

If you haven't seen the The Wire, what are you doing with your life? It's absolutely amazing. I've watched it through 3 times. 

 

There are so many shows listed on this site that have had multi-year runs that I have never heard of. 

I was really late to Breaking Bad, but enjoyed that. It's a tough watch at some points...way too dark for me...but I powered through. I've enjoyed Better Call Saul on Netflix as well. My wife and I re-binge How I Met Your Mother every single year. Far and away our favourite show of all time.

I've only ever seen a handful of Big Bang Theory episodes. Way too sitcom-y for me. The laugh track is out of control.

I'd highly recommend you watch a few episodes of Arrested Development. That, along with Seinfeld & 30 Rock, are my three favourite sitcoms ever.

I didn't watch the Wire until a few years ago and I always wonder why I hadn't heard about it sooner.  It's easily one of my favorites of all-time and it's forever changed how I pronounce the word ****! 😅

I agree about Breaking Bad. Took me a couple of years before I started but it quickly became a fav. A bit dark and it really went in an unusual direction. 

 

Homeland was good but not for everyone. They almost ruined it. 

 

I don't watch sitcoms anymore. I never really got into Big Band Theory but I did watch some.
