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.

And "The Boys" are renewed for season 4!  And we will NOT talk about the exploding penis.

I've never watched that one, always thought it was just a network cop show.  I'm not very interested in anything fictional.

Twelve years says the show is very good. I'm a fan.  You should watch it in reruns if you're able to get a feel for the characters. Tom Sellick is very good as NYC Police Commissioner Frank Reagan.

kind of begs the question when was the earliest awards show in memoriam, I remember them as far back as the 2002 oscars (even though they had been doing them for awhile) and I know they didn't really do one at the 1991 Prime Time emmy awards (heck I think LIFE magazine started the tradition of Year in Review issues)

Well I had one question answered when I did a recent deep dive as someone uploaded several Primetime emmy awards from 1995-2009 and apparently the emmy's started doing it in 1996, and the Oscars did it sometime in the early 90s like after the 1991 show

Currently binging Gotham. Mid way through season 4. This show is a hoot. How they got away with stuff for a prime time show.

My wife and I loved it. Big fan of the guy from The OC who plays Gordon, Donal Logue as Harvey, and the guy who plays Penguin is one of the all time best at it, IMO. Just a really well done show that didn't get enough buzz because it was on a network.

Everyone's mother is probably going to be happy about this

Yeah the books are awesome. Just to go with your username, I am a huge Ian Rankin fan also; new Rebus book out this fall😀One of the best characters in crime fiction for sure. If you like Rankin, Mark Billingham's Thorne series is great also and Peter Lovesey's Diamond series.

Guess there was an error in typing the shows name

 

I wonder if they're  keeping it in Canada this season 

nice to see that there will be a team from Manitoba for the first time since SEASON 3

MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED! oh god I kept saying this was also a bad idea because no one wants to see Corrine from the Bachelor or Logan Paul in a house together (but I made that comment in 2017 so god knows who I would replace that with)

after reading this sounds similar to the surreal life fame games, but it's a good lineup Dennis Rodman, Kim Coles, Frankie Muniz....unfortunately Stormy Daniels is also a cast member. Actually an interesting fact to bring up, I actually predicted Omarosa would be a cast member of the show didn't matter what season though

 

But.....will it air in Canada at all? we don't have VH1 and MuchMoreMusic is gone, well I still have a VPN

it's been nearly a year since this announcement but there is still no airdate

probably the biggest surprise to me is....Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers getting nominated in the made for tv movie category (it wasn't good but I actually had fun watching it)
