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.

Some things should stay dead.

to be fair the second week of May is when we get a wave of renewal/cancellation/pickup news (of course CBS likes to get a good chunk of their stuff out of the way long before axe week)

'Wonder Years' Director Fred Savage Fired After 'Inappropriate' Conduct Allegations

I'm not sure a 9 year old will get what they're going for with this, but they'll enjoy it in their own way maybe. The idea of Al as a coked out 80s rock star is really really funny....

well it doesn't quite surprise me that they're spinning off Descendants, I  guess someone had a story that needed to come out so they decided to revolve it around different kids this time around (besides I don't see them doing this around the OG four again especially since one of the stars passed on suddenly 3 years ago) I actually did see a SOPAC performance two weeks ago

I'm wondering if we'll hear who will be leaving the show, at least a few cast members have been there for ten years

https://deadline.com/2022/05/snl-natasha-lyonne-season-finale-with-musical-guest-japanese-breakfast-1235023198/

I'm betting this will end up on a streaming service, I mean FOX would be crazy to pass on this and put it in Animation Domination, if it ends up on Peacock, CTV Comedy should try and pick it up since Peacock isn't available in Canada, if it goes to Hulu it kind of automatically goes to Disney+

why can't they just let the Bachelor Franchise die already and for god sakes let American Idol retire

I'm shocked they're renewing Big Sky the show hasn't had the best ratings or the best coverage this season. Well Jensen Eckles will be busy next season with this and narrating the Supernatural prequel

yay  more Masked Singer on the way (and for god sakes don't book any politicians again at least when Kermit the Frog was on it was a PLEASANT surprise) so I guess Mayim is going to stick to the prime time Jeopardy job? (they keep making it clear that they will have someone full time next season and since Ken opted not to return to The Chase (and Buzzy is part of the people to chase now) I figured maybe he's getting the job full time)
