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.

    okay serious question was Hill Street Blues that good? because I've been watching three vintage Primetime emmy awards and they seemed to eat emmy awards for breakfast then (I mean I get the Steven Botchko praises but still) and yeah their intro theme is kind of tranquil considering what happens on the show (the simpsonized version is relaxing too)

    Oh, yes, Hill Street Blues was great. Also, it changed the landscape for cop dramas. 

    You have to think about the context of what came before it. 40 years later it doesn't seem edgy or innovative but it was. 

    hmm I guess it should be one of those shows that should be labelled as "Do Not Reboot" because it probably wouldn't be that special plus Botchko is no longer around to write for it

     

    WOO-HOO but *record scratch* you'll need a VPN to watch it because if you try looking at it in Canada it will say add to watch list but do it with the VPN set to US it will say watch free

    apparently the rights to What is Hip are expensive because that got altered with Party People by the King Tutt band

     

    oh man they didn't cut he who must not be named from the season 2 finale, but at least they kept both songs in the dance number

    I know most of you probably remember a time before the FOX Network existed (hell I don't it was even available here right away like not until sometime in the 90s) but I read somewhere that they think once the Simpsons is done on FOX  that will be the end of it (seriously the Simpsons have been there since 1987 yes I'm counting the Ullman years)
