  • We have to wait until NEXT SUMMER for more “Game of Thrones”? Boooooo…
  • Bill Murray cameo in “Vice Principals” was much better than his cameo in the latest “Ghostbusters.”
  • I try to keep Random Thoughts spoiler-free, so…I’ll just say that last night’s episode of “UnReal” was hard to watch in light of recent events.

XFINITY Binge-Watching Guide: Emmy Nominations Edition

July 15, 2016

The Emmy nominations were announced this past Thursday, and for the most part they were right on the mark. The ceremony won’t be held until September 18th, so you have until then to watch every episode of every nominated title.

OK, maybe that’s a little extreme, but here are my picks for the ones you should try to catch up on this weekend.

GameofThrones Veep
 1. –“Game of Thrones”: Last year’s Outstanding Drama winner is back and some could argue that this season was better than the previous one. 
 2. – “Veep”: Remember what I just said about “Game of Thrones”? Recycle that comment but replace the word “Drama” with “Comedy.”
SiliconValley RayDonovan
   3. – “Silicon Valley”: Even after what I consider to be a very uneven season, “Silicon Valley” is still one of the best comedies on TV.
 4. – “Ray Donovan”Liev Schreiber’s Lead Actor in a Drama nod is very well deserved.
OrphanBlack Homeland

 

  5. – “Orphan Black”: – Tatiana Maslany doesn’t just deserve one Emmy, she deserves an Emmy for each role she plays on this amazing series.  6. – “Homeland”: Here’s a show that seemed to level off after a hot start, but it really picked up steam again this season.

Random Thoughts…

  • Seriously, why does “The Amazing Race” keep getting nominated for Emmys? It’s fine for what it is, but it’s been the same show for 100 years.
  • On the other hand, well done with the “Mr. Robot” picks. Well deserved.
  • I think I have a crush on Leslie Jones. Watch the clip of her on “The View.” She’s delightful.

  • “Mr. Robot” is finally back and…(sound effect of brain exploding.)
  • I thought John Cena did a pretty decent job hosting the ESPYs last night. Some of his jokes were pretty cold, but it’s not like anyone was going to to try to fight him.
  • Kristen Wiig pretending to be Jojo from “The Bachelorette” is everything. Check it out.
