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.

I'm sad to tell you that much of American society is trending that way,

Went and watched “Free Guy” for the second time last night, and the Alex Trebek cameo still makes me smile. So glad Reynolds put that in. 

Decided to give The Crown a run this afternoon, prior to what is supposed to be a big night for them at the Emmys tonight. I'm not really one for the monarchy, but I sure do love a good John Lithgow performance. Only a few eps into S1, but it's not bad so far... 

well at least this year's emmys were better than the oscars and some good news for them the ratings went  up

Masked Singer clues here: gee I wonder who would have the Razzie nomination? Mel B from the Spice Girls already did the UK Masked Singer, maybe Tom Green is in one of those costumes (because I know Freddie Got Fingered got nominated for Razzie's)

Contestants this fall boast a combined 27 Grammy wins, three Oscar nominations, 12 Emmy nods, 12 Razzie nominations, two Super Bowl appearances and a pair of Lifetime Achievement Awards.

 

 

and we have our first four SNL hosts for the season....OH COME ON ARE YOU KIDDING ME OCTOBER 9TH? on the other hand they've finally booked Rami Malek (and I kind of knew they would because why would Daniel Craig promote this twice) also I feel like this was 3 years late they really should have booked him when Bo Rhap came out

Wilson and Sudekis are going to be fantastic and both Musgraves and Carlile are solid options to go along with them. Excited for those eps! 

okay now I really wish I did have Disney+ I'm seeing muppets here that haven't been used in years, and it's rather appropriate that they are ghosts

Couple of episodes into season 2 and I have to say that it's really really good and it's because of the characters, I especially like Nick Mohammed (Nate the Great) and Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent) but overall the casting and storylines have been on the money

the Nate, Roy, Beard and Higgins are absolutely the best characters on the show. I laugh hard virtually every episode...

Al and I have already talked about it on Twitter, but I just recently decided to binge Sorkin's The Newsroom on Crave. Man... I know this doesn't have great reviews but I ******* love this show. It's classic Sorkin writing, a great dramatic turn from Jeff Daniels, and Sam Waterston is a ******* international treasure.... And being in the media, I really got a lot out of their depiction of a cable news outlet. 

Anyhow, man this is a great show and I'm really sad there's only 25 eps... 

Yeah, agree 110%. Once you get into it, you're hooked. 

                                                           

well it's been a long time but we finally have some SNL exit news...though not the exits we expected to hear. There will be three new cast members

https://tvline.com/2021/09/27/saturday-night-live-beck-bennett-leaving-season-47-snl/

 

man this seasons going to have a record number of cast members that have been there for 10+ seasons

James Austin Johnson is very funny. Does the best Trump impressions. I'll dig some up.
