The TV Thread

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.

    so it's similar to Pluto TV, come to think of it most of those same channels are on that service, speaking of which they added Diagnosis Murder and Beverly Hillbillies to the service

    man they kill off one background character and everyone flips, but when they killed off Krusty's dad a decade ago (granted we knew a year in advanced that someone was getting killed off) they didn't really flinch much

    I just hope NBC renews Law & Order; Organized Crime. 

    NCIS Hawaii? Go woke & go broke. I can do without the lesbian love affair on a police procedural.

    Well, ain't tht a kick in the head! That absolutely freaking sucks. OC's the best series of the Law & Order genres. And down to 10 episodes from 22.

    well almost every show had to have a shortened season this year because of the strike, and I wouldn't be surprised if it influenced some shows decisions to end (though granted Sheldon was at the end of it's three season renewal...wish Ghosts would get that deal)

    The writer's & actors strikes really screwed some great shows. Like Blue Bloods, Yellowstone & now OC. Granted with Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone, Kevin Costner acted liked a diva. Now, the actor who played Rip (Cole Hauser) in the series dropped his lawsuit he had filed against Sheridan this past week. Not over money or acting contracts. But coffee. Hauser & Sheridan own competing coffee companies & it had to do with who would supply the actors & production company with coffee. How crazy is that?
