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.

It isn't Peter Jackson's work, so it's going to be different. I think it's going to be really entertaining all the same, though.

I hope so- so much lore and quite the universe for story possibilities. 

Finally finished the Sandman- quite good. Very good adaptation of the comics. 

I thought the first House of the Dragon episode was great. Looking forward to see how the series progresses.

So I took a look at my DVR and CMT Canada is going to be picking up Cheers and Spin City, okay this is kind of exciting because I don't think I have ever seen Spin City on a DVR schedule in the 15 years we've had digital cable

they're just upping the prize money

That's pretty cool. Cheers is an all-time great show. I wonder how it holds up today? 

Spin City was genius.

it really should be on Netflix if they are reviving it (or Disney+ even since it aired on FOX)

I'm not surprised he's had less focus as the series went on https://tvline.com/2022/08/29/michael-fishman-leaving-the-conners-season-5-dj-not-returning/

Why can't they put the content they used to air on the service? I know a good chunk of it is on youtube (hell as we speak Blacktree tv is uploading episodes of the Triplets) and by that I mean the stuff made by Nelvana, Cinar, etc, I mean what i wouldn't give to see Ned's Newt on tv again or watching the Triplets while waiting for the school bus to come (I literally started crying when more episodes were available on youtube) or watching Duckman behind my parents back on a friday night (I know it's not Canadian content but I'm old enough to remember when the network aired it) honestly they need to give adults a reason to get excited about this

I would be concerned that the increased prize money will spur people (stoopid people) to set up very risky scenarios to try to cash in.

no but they had a whole reality show, which was a spinoff of another show, different situation

 

Man there must be a shortage of submissions if they are upping the prize money

 

makes me long for the days when TLC was The Learning Channel....and had a decent children't programming lineup in the morning

Stupid people+greed= popular TV

they are going into their 10th season maybe they should consider ending it instead of going the MASH route and just having the Korean War go on 8 years too long (the Vietnam War wasn't that long...was it?)

Vietnam was officially 8 for the USA but unofficially longer 13-14.
