The Emmy Awards show Sunday night was actually entertaining, but a few questions stayed with me:
• What or whom was Farrah Fawcett looking at while Kate Jackson was talking? Where has Kate Jackson been all these years? And why can't more women her age get good roles?
• Was Kate Jackson's comment that she, Farrah and Jaclyn Smith were "reclaiming the brand," a slap at the "Charlie's Angels" movies starring Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu?
• Did Emmy winner Blythe Danner really not know who Bob Newhart is? She ended her acceptance speech by saying she needed to get off the stage before "that man drowned or suffocated." The show had a running gag that Newhart's life would be threatened if the show ran long.
• Is Helen Mirren the best combination of sophistication, humor and raunchiness in one celebrity? She let rip with an off-color line about not wanting to trip on her way up to the stage in what she later called her "stripper shoes" -- 6-inch plastic heels that she bought for $50 on Hollywood Boulevard. She won for her masterful performance in HBO's "Elizbeth I."
• How did Barry Manilow beat out Stephen Colbert, John Stewart, David Letterman and Hugh Jackman for best individual performance in a variety or music program? (And I have Barry Manilow albums at home!)
• How could you have an Emmys show without one single pet?
