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.

BBT was a fantastic show until they decided that everyone needed to be in a relationship. Lame. When it was just the nerds and the one chick, it was really really funny. I always say the best years for that show were when Sara Gilbert was a semi-regular performer on the show.

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 ****! 😅

 

Funny, that's the way my 93 year old Chinese Uncle pronounces it... 

aw hell no

I wish facebook posts would show up again but Bachelor in Paradise is coming to Canada

I want a TV show where a three year old is put into a room with $50.00 worth of new toys at one end  and $1,000,000 at the other. The parents would be watching from an adjoining room through a sound-proof glass while the child chooses one or the other.

Tru dat but you didn't have to go so far in the analogy. A box of wine would have sufficed

Gotta have high stakes for maximum drama. Supplying wine to the watching parents might be a good idea, though.

Ted Lasso is fantastic.  Probably the most optimistic  and pleasant show I've watched in awhile.

So I don't know if this was mentioned yet but Punky Brewster landed YTV for it's Canadian home, well it's nice to be able to access it without Peacock. So I might sample it just for the hell of it, even though I have NEVER seen an episode of the original show (I did watch the E! True Hollywood Story for SMF...oh btw she will reprise her role in the Proud Family revival)

I remember Punky Brewster. She certainly has grown up.

Still has the acting ability of a stop sign.

Anybody been watching Wanda Vision? Man I expected so much more from that finale, based on the lead up episodes...

I did. They had to wrap things up. I was satisfied. Now, onto Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

I got way too caught up in fan theories and was waiting for more big picture stuff....Mephisto..XMen...at least give me a Dr Strange cameo....?? We get a Skrull and that's about it. Sigh. Ohhh welll. Hopefully Winter Soldier is good...that's the one I was most looking forward to anyhow. 

okay I can't remember if I shared this already but....

There was some (very subtle) hinting at Dr. Strange in the 2nd credit scene.

 

 

 

 

 

Really having a hard time following my shows on tv because of Covid scheduling. Blue Bloods, FBI, Chicago PD & Fire are my faves but they're so hit & miss scheduling wise. Off the air from May to mid to late November, then trying to fit 16 episodes in. play 2 or 3 shiows then a hiatus for a month or more. Come back with a show or two then a 2 week hiatus & so it goes. I find I watch less new TV. I prefer PVR'ing old western, sci fi & war movies & tv series. I never missed a BB episode but after the latest hiatus after just 2 new shows I just said **** it & tuned out. I never missed an episode in 11 years before. The networks need to figure this out. AFAIK, this is all Randy Ambrosie's fault.

Slight edit on the previous post you should look at.
