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.

I thought they finally moved out of the projects in the series finale and yet a fourth generation is living there now?

Yessir... Wife and I watched the first 3 eps tonight. It's not high quality TV (won't be winning any Emmys ) but it's entertaining comfort food TV. Good action and I'm into the story. 

remember she said SYNDICATED jeopardy as in the one that airs in the daytime, we don't know if she's been let go outright, this saga is not going to end

Just as I thought she was just released from the Daytime job not the primetime job https://tvline.com/news/jeopardy-mayim-bialik-fired-host-explained-reason-statement-1235099862/

Well essentially she is out as primetime was a series of specials and unlikely to continue en masse post strike.

Nothing against Mayim, but to me Ken seemed more relaxed and personable during the actual gameplay.

Well, at least they're not going to run it into the ground like they did with Archer and like they've been doing with Always Sunny

MASH is still one of my all time favorite shows. 

I was only old enough to watch the first run of the last couple of seasons but I remember watching the reruns for years on CKND.

Every night at 10:00 pm CKND would show MASH re-runs.

I remember that. Anyone remember this, "Parents, where are your children?"

This is turning out to be a great series, not a bad episode in the bunch, mixing in Malcolm X and Ali makes it all that much more interesting.  Vincent D'Onofrio plays an excellent foil, he's got a bit of Brian Dennehy in him, both in looks and style.

D'Onofrio always plays his characters with an edge. I remember his Law & Order character had emotional issues that sometimes broke thru in certain situations. He does play Vincent Gigamte as a psychopath. Great axtor. 

Thoughts on the final season of Letterkenny?

Watched 6 episodes of The Bookie so far and it's hilarious, stars stand-up comedian Sebastian Maniscalco and has a number of famous guest appearances, Ray Romano, Charlie Sheen, Rob Coddry and Wayne Knight so far.  Each episode is short but sweet  at 22 mins. each, it doesn't take itself at all seriously, best laughs I've had from a TV series in a long time.

yeah I heard Angus T Jones showed up on the show too

Amazon Prime Video starts showing ads in January unless you pay them

Pretty sure I'm already paying them... I love the convenience and the general idea behind streaming services, but I hate the execution and how it's turned into just another version of cable.

If you're showing ads...shouldn't it be cheaper ala NFLX?

And AmaPrime has a ship interface...they should be paying us for being forced to use it.
