Queer Eye For The Straight Guy

Ten years ago, Bravo was a channel that showed highlights from operas around the world and movies with subtitles. That is pretty much all it showed which is how it got its name. Then they decided to try a reality show just for kicks. It was called Queer Eye For The Straight Guy. If not for that show, I doubt we would have seen any of the shows that now dominate Bravo's lineup. Queer Eye was so popular that NBC would show the episodes just to make sure that people without cable could catch the episodes. It burned hot and fast and Bravo over saturated the heck out of it because they had nothing else to show and it was such a monster hit. It disappeared almost as fast as it showed up. Now, it is coming back. At least for one show. The 10th anniversary show.

Didn't Queer Eye End Already?

I got a press release from Bravo heralding the final season of Queer Eye which starts on October 2nd. I thought Queer Eye got canceled long, long ago. The release says this is their fifth season but I think Bravo is using that term very loosely. The show started on July 15, 2003 but if it has been running continuously for five seasons they must be hiding it in the commercials for Top Chef or something because I haven't seen it.

I loved Queer Eye when it first started and I think everyone would still enjoy it if NBC and everyone over there hadn't run it into the ground as fast as possible. It's almost like they said, OMG, we have a gay show that everyone loves and so put it on all of our networks. All of them, including Telemundo. "Hola Carson"

Instead we got an episode here and there and they just ruined it. So, I guess I will try and make an effort to at least watch the season premiere because it will be reunion of sorts of the people they have helped over the past "five seasons." It will be done in a beauty pageant format with Susan Lucci (maybe I won't watch) hosting.

Hilary looks good. Really good. She doesn't even need her sister there to look good.


Hilary has breasts, and she wants us to know.
If I had one wish it would be for Tom Ford to take me shopping and have him pay for it. He is the best dressed man in the world.

Tim Gunn with the President of Bravo. That is how you suck up and keep yourself on the air. Way to go Tim!!

The last hurrah for the Queer Eye boys.
