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.

Bubble Gum and paperclips won't get them out of this

Hope Blue Bloods survive the cuts. 

From what I heard this year's finale is supposed to be 2 hours long I don't know if that's supposed to be a sign of something

Apparently not. Tom Selleck's arthritis has progressed to the point where he is almost immobilized. All of the bad press police have been receiving in the media haven't helped their image, either.

oh man I don't want to think about how much worse my arthritis will get as I get older, I've had RA since I was 17

Blue Bloods hasn't been cancelled yet. They have neutered Danny as he can't go off on criminals anymore if they don't cooperate.  Same with Hank Voight of Chicago PD. No one has visited the cage in the basement of his precinct this season. 

well I'm sure it will be awesome to see Paula Abdul on Idol again

that's how much faith they have in this show

Succession is great... slow paced but wow .. hbo does it right 

hmmm I thought you had to win 5 games in order to qualify for the Tournament of Champions (I mean I guess one of them had to be a replacement because one of the contestants that qualified for this tournament had died suddenly earlier this year)

for some reason I knew someone out there would put all the themes together....but how come the 90s got the Malcolm in the Middle like opening? that show debuted at the very beginning of the 2000s (though granted, in the year 2000 we could still pretend it was the 90s)

I still cant figure out why they went wide screen for the 80/90s shows

Technically (sorry!) 2000 is the 90s. And, 90 is the 80s.

I guess they couldn't find any decent family sitcoms that debuted in the 90s to use (most of them were on TGIF anyway) I guess Dinosaurs would have been too complicated

well if Monopoly could get that treatment way back when....

I wonder what it's Canadian home will be, it won't be the same without Henson and Anderson though

There's an unrated version out there too. 

 

This looks funny. I will watch this on Disney+ when it's released in May.

hmmm what kind of tax breaks does Hawaii have right now? considering that things were kind of tough for Baywatch Hawaii but then again it was ratings that killed it....well there must be something good going on there since we're getting NCIS Hawaii
