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.

    it's just a Disney+ abbreviation

    Yeah, figured it out. 

    Also Continuing what you were saying, yes dumping KOTH in one day was kind of dumb (considering that Disney usually chooses to drop stuff weekly) it practically tells me that they had no faith in the show even though they had a huge promotional thing going on at SD Comic Con

    Well at least there's people I've heard of this season surprised Feldman didn't do it sooner

     

    Lindsay Lohan's parent trap has gotten a spike in interest lately hasn't it but they made it clear they don't want to make a sequel (why bother?)

     

    And Rex will be back on on the 22nd (why bother calling it Hudson and Rex if Hudson is not there)

    I'll bet it probably won't be available in Canada when it does

    May be an image of text that says 'SESAME WORKSHOP The Sesame Street library is coming to YouTube! Beginning in January 2026, YouTube will have the the largest digital library of Sesame Street content, with hundreds of full episodes coming to the Sesame Street channels. Join US as we help children everywhere grow smarter, stronger, and kinder, one episode at a time.'

    WWE took it's time announcing Monday night on Raw that Wrestlepalooza & every other future PLE internationally (including Canada) will be seen on Netflix. For now. I'm sure TKO will find some way to rip fans off for more money eventually just like they did to US fans after announcing the Netflix deal in December only to put every PLE on the ESPN app. Greedy bastards. There's always opportunities to make more money gouging fans constantly.

    As a die hard UFC fan who has watched nearly every event since the first one... I've yet to pay for a single card.   It's very easy to stream anything these days.     It's unfortunate that it has to be done that way though.

    As a fan, it never ceases to amaze me how badly TKO treats it's WWE fans. Here we thought, in Canada that we'd have to subscribe to the ESPN app to watch, then suddenly we don't 5 days before. It's coming, though. They'll screw us over. I'll be tuning in on Saturday once both CFL games are over. 

    so how many is that for Poehler now?

    Well that's a giant bag of meh from SNL to start the season. Thank goodness for Update... Hopefully they're not asked to tone it down. I want Che to unload on the recent nonsense.

    I can't stand Kimmel but this is great news.  

    FCC being involved to stop free speech is an absolutely terrifying thing which 50% of the Americans should wake up and realize that what happened is a very dangerous path if it continues.  

    Kimmel is a loudmouth wind bag. But .aside from that yeah,i think he got a raw deal there. 

    Kimmel is phenomenal... Probably my favourite of the Strike Force Five. Myers is a close second and then Oliver and Colbert...

    I enjoyed it when he used to have the running gag with Damon (one of my favorite actors).

    Every now and then I'll watch Silverman's video she made with Damon and Kimmel's followup video with Affleck. That was some good ****.
