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.

Red and Kitty are returning and it's revolving around Eric and Donna's daughter

Okay, I'm going to say it, Muppets Haunted Mansion was pretty awesome, there is no way I'm letting this out of my head

 

Many current comedians cite the Muppet Show and Looney Toons as the definers of comedy.

When I die I suspect I’ll be resurrected as FrostyWinnipeg: The Next Generation starring Wanda Sykes.

Reports about her problematic behaviour on set were circulating for months before she was canned.

yeah I doubt that Miley would want to do it again, just because Raven is doing it again, doesn't mean MIley will do it, I think I'd rather see a Lizzie Mcguire reboot

man this would have aged well had it gone forward

Yall gotta watch succession

But I just started bingeing Billions!

there's just way too many ******* shows to keep on top of. Christ sakes...I've got a list with at least a half dozen shows that I need to get to...just not enough time.

Billions is okay but got pretty stale for me. Succession in my opinion is miles ahead. Good cast on both shows though

I'm waiting for  the return of the Scooby-Do mysteries, Or the Gong Show. Whichever.

I don't think they could get the Gong show revival going. There is a current Scooby Doo production called Scooby Doo and Guess Who? which is basically a half hour version of The New Scooby Doo Movies (Sandy Duncan and Cher actually did do episodes in the new incarnation which is interesting considering they appeared in the OG NSDM) also next friday the CW will be airing some strange Scooby Doo hybrid special
