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.

he was so smart, and wryly funny,  treated the flaky guests and callers with respect, but always a bit tongue in cheek.

They tried to kill Hoagland with a heart attack.

I first learned about the "dangers" of contrails on Coast to Coast AM.

sometimes I do wonder why they never revived Family Matters

maybe they shouldn't have done that 5 year time jump thing or whatever stunt they pulled in the first season finale

No big loss. The storyline had gotten so muddled I mostly lost interest this season.

and the Night Court cast watch continues

by the way Handmaid's tale is done for the season (and renewed for a 5th) but man how long do they plan on keeping this going? 

Spoiler

June's gotta get her older daughter out of there eventually, especially since she and the other Handmaids ganged up on Fred like the Hyenas ganged up on Scar at the end of The Lion King

 

I would have thought that this show would have ended up on Hallmark or something (the OG one is currently airing on Vision last time I checked)

Romania asked Peter Falk to help prevent an uprising after the country ran out of Columbo episodes.

Was that the ep where a guy was dropping a rock on a string into a hole and it kept going? Then someone reminded him the string created its own weight and thats why it felt like it was still going?

Art Bell. Someone lowered a microphone into a deep hole in Russia & they could hear moans & screams. They claimed it was Hell.

Or an Erin O'Toole pep meeting.

Fuggedabout the hole with people screaming. Christopher tells Tony & Paulie about the Hell he saw where the Italians play the Irish in poker in an Irish bar on St Patrick's Day which never ends & the Irish win every hand.

Art Bell was something else. I loved the early days (the early days when it was broadcast here, not Art Bell's early days). For an insomniac like myself, it was pure gold. He was such a nutter and the guests were even further out there. 

From the Kingdom of Nye. 

In the High Dessert

by the way Conan is slowly removing the geo fence off the videos that had been geo blocked in Canada on the Team Coco youtube page. I'm happy that I won't have to keep turning my VPN on whenever I binge his stuff on my playlists

They have this gawd awful Canadian talk show on now with Shane Hewitt after midnight. So glad I don't work nights anymore.

Yeah but I've seen this happen multiple times they're just going to have another conservative woman fill that seat
