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.

    there's nothing on the CORUS entertainment press releases that says they're shutting down (though ABC Spark doesn't surprise me because ever since Freeforms original programming ended and Spark stopped airing Hocus Pocus on Halloween I stopped watching. And as for Nick while I was happy to revisit Rugrats and Doug WHO THE HELL CAN WATCH ALL THAT SPONGEBOB?! EVEN I GET A LITTLE FATIGUE FROM WATCHING HUDSON AND REX EVERY MORNING

    There are certain shows people tell me to watch because "it's good!" and I question my (or their) sanity after trying to watch them. This is one of those shows.

    The movie Friendship is not one of the funniest movies of the year. Dont be taken in.

    What? Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd? Sold! Worth renting or wait for a free stream?

    I found it so cringey. I'd wait until someone paid you to watch it.

    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)

    People like me who remember the 60's & 70's are dying off. That's why classic rock stations now play Eminem. There's no more Birds, Animals or Rascals being played.

    I live in YYC so the signal doesn't make it. Online, I listen to classic rock when I'm on my laptop. But radio is getting really bad. 

    I was raised on KY 58 and really miss that... Don't think there's a financially viable audience for that, but it was fun back in the day...

    sigh how the hell did Agatha All Along get under nominated? Patti Lupone should have been up for an emmy especially for that one episode, well at least the Ballad of the witches road song got love...and now it has to be a Halloween standard up there with Monster Mash, the Ghostbusters theme and Thriller

    3 seasons over 20 years. seems right.

     

    I was reading the comments down the page in the link after the story itself. First season 2005. Second season 2014. Third season 2026. How can anyone get excited about a comedy series that plays once a decade with 21 total episodes so far? That has all the momentum of a snowball rolling uphill.
