Classic! Are you watching?

The latest in Downton Abbey wear. I love it! Though I really take exception to Rob James-Collier's perception of his character arc on the show. Yes, he plays a pretty nasty guy, but "Thomas" has of late been rather softened by the depiction of his desire for "Jimmy" (Ed Speleers). Cruelly misled by "O'Brien" (Siobhan Finneran), he allows himself to believe his desire may be a two-way street, is humiliatingly rejected and has to withstand the condemnation of his boss and the threat of being cast out of his job to face an uncertain future. Baffling that James-Collier thinks "Thomas"'s actions toward "Jimmy" make him "an Edwardian sex pest" when in fact they provided the first sign that he had some of the humanity of which "O'Brien" seems completely devoid.

I loved that mop-lady cartoon before The Carol Burnett Show!

Emmy nominations are out, and for the first time I can remember, there are more cable than network nominees in the Best Comedy Series category. I'm thrilled that Girls and Veep were recognized. Girls totally deserves to win, but will never overcome Modern Family (which I still enjoy in spite of increasingly saccharine, tied-with-a-bow endings to each episode).

Even better, Lena Dunham was nominated for Best Actress in a comedy series, along with every other working actress who's ever made a person smile, from Zooey Deschanel to Edie Falco.

Margaret Cho is America's best-kept state secret

Bizarrely—and happily—Margaret Cho received an Emmy nod (Outstanding Guest Actress In A Comedy Series) for impersonating Kim Jong-Il on 30 Rock! But otherwise, I'm never truly satisfied with the Supporting or Guest categories. None of the Girls girls or boys?

I'd give all the dramatic awards to Downton Abbey, which is more fun than a week-end.

American Idol failed to get nominated for Reality-Competition Program in spite of six others getting the nod.

Anyone you think was missed or unfairly recognized?
