While it'd be wrong to call this cast a hatful of has-beens, this is the oldest cast in the history of CBS' "Big Brother," which typically crams the house with people in their early twenties.
Also unlike regular “Big Brother,” which airs June to September every summer, “Celebrity Big Brother” will cram 13 episodes in the 19 days between Feb. 7 and Feb. 25. But the good stuff as always can still be had via the CBS All Access live feeds.
Returning tonight:
Big Brother (CBS) Feb. 7
Channel Zero (Syfy) Feb. 7
Full Frontal (TBS) Feb. 7
Queer Eye (Netflix) Feb. 7
