We haven’t checked in lately with the gang on Big Brother. Let’s see what the houseguests are up to:

Emmy Thoughts:
I have no clue how the Emmy people can possibly come up with their nominations. Now that there are 4,752 channels on cable, satellite, cell phones, tablets, and the kitchen sink, who has time to watch every show?
*
I am happy to see Orange Is the New Black get Emmy love. It’s an excellent show and is unlike pretty much everything else on TV. Assuming, of course, that you have time to watch everything else on TV.
*
Fans of Orphan Black are outraged that series star Tatiana Maslany was ignored. I don’t know. Maslany is good, but mostly Orphan is a special-effects gimmick show. Being upset that Maslany wasn’t nominated is like being upset that Hayley Mills didn’t win an Oscar for The Parent Trap. I take that back; I am upset that Hayley Mills didn’t win an Oscar for The Parent Trap.
*
Everyone is upset about some show or some actor who got snubbed. Me, too. I would have given a nod to Lilyhammer, which has been overshadowed by its trendier cousins on Netflix, House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black.
*****
Silly me. I had no idea that the word “Chinaman” is considered offensive, as poor Bob Beckel found out on The Five this week. Does that mean “Frenchman” is also a no-no?
