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.

Might wanna skip 5B 😬

Holy craperoni DTour ditched the travel format they had been using the last little while (apparently this happened two months ago)....DREW CAREY'S SITCOM IS ON CANADIAN SCREENS AGAIN!!!! (honest when they picked it back up back in the early 10's it was actually fun to see who did the show before they got super famous, I was surprised to see Kristin Wiig in a final season episode)

 

oh yeah they added Laugh-In to Pluto TV

well someone from Nashville will show up, never thought it would have been the lady who played well, I don't even remember the name of Rayna's ex husband anymore but KWP's character married him but then got killed off not long after

I'm guessing Found is going to get canned too (that and Irrational managed to get audiences since the writers strike put so many shows on hiatus)

Netflix has Yellowstone I believe. 

Came across this documentary on Amazon Prime today.   Interesting to watch because of the local flair.  Sad story because of his downfall.   There are parts where he comes across as sincere and apologetic, but not entirely sure what to make of him after watching.

 

 

Sesame Street has a new streaming home

I watched it last night and thought the documentary was underwhelming and all over the place.   The timelines kept bouncing around,  the director kept flip flopping between comedy and serious tones,  and they didn't dig deep on who he is (was) and basically allowed this guy to put on a show to satisfy his narcissitic needs. 

It was weird that they only had his ex wife on for a few minutes when she would of been best able to explain what his true personality is like.  She had one line about him being conniving and a liar.  They should of expanded and provide examples of where in public he was a friendly funny guy,  but behind closed doors he was a bad guy.  

They had a few of his old co workers,  but most of the people on the doc were Red River students who barely knew him.  Does he have a drug problem?  He alluded to it?  What about his affair with a student for ten years?  How did his wife and him end up so broke so quickly?  What is he doing today?  He seems to be working at a bar/restaurant?  What did he use the money for his robberies?  How does he own a house now?   So many questions left unanswered.  

Could of been much better.  

I didn't know they were shooting it here

Well I guess they had to make room for Sesame Street somehow

and I think I know why the Hollywood Suite channels are on free preview, they're going through a name change the 70's channel is now 70's+ and the 80's and 90's are one channel and the other two are just 00 and '10 (well it was bound to happen eventually)
