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.

Thanks, I will check into it. 

The technology is relatively new, somewhat imperfect but evolving There is still the odd glitch- momentary freezing and such, but for about $10.00 per month, its hard to go wrong.

No doubt about that. Damn app doesn't even update. I have to log off and log back in to get the latest highlights/GOD.

I find Crave to be equally problematic. 

100%... Bell owns both and does not give a s**t about either one.

PM me.

you know I was the right viewing age when he reared his head (and luckily for me on my affiliate it came on after Carmen on Sundays), and right now a part of me wants to see a cameo from Sesame Street muppets that have their identities concealed (rather poorly) and they're complaining about him....I wouldn't blame them he's the reason why Elmo got tons more screen time (read it in the book Street Gang)

I do not care for Tim Allen's politics...however I have enjoyed the first two entries in the Santa Clause trilogy

 

Who really cares about Tim Allen's politics?

Tim Allen is a shallow mental midget who happened to fall into the lead role on a popular sitcom. He is a convicted drug dealer who escaped jail by informing on his customers and suppliers. He was also convicted of flying a (private) aircraft while drunk a few years ago.

And the only good thing he's ever been in was Galaxy Quest, but it wasn't good because of him.

I'm not a Tim Allen fan but this sounds like sour grapes and a weak attempt at making it seem like he lucked out in Hollywood.   The guy has been really successful and I'd put his criminal convictions at the far lower end scale of what a typical Hollywood celebrity illegal activities.
