Orange Is the New Black, abbreviated to OITNB, is an American comedy-drama streaming television series created by Jenji Kohan for Netflix. The series is based on Piper Kerman's memoir Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison (2010), about her experiences at FCI Danbury, a minimum-security federal prison.

Episodes[edit]

Season	Episode number	Episode name	Reference
26	573	"Bull-E"	When Krusty asks his writers for jokes to use in jail, one of them replies "How about Orange is the New Blecch".
