Queer Eye For the Straight Guy

Airs: Tuesdays 10:00 PM (Bravo)
Air Times Vary 1:00 AM (NBC)

Premiere Date: 07/15/2003

Premise: Five fabulous gay men, experts in the fields of fashion, food and wine, interior design, grooming and culture, are unleashed upon a straight guy whose friends or loved ones believe he needs a lifestyle upgrade. The guy is outfitted in new clothes, gets his home renovated and receives tips on other aspects of living well.

Show Background: The show debuted July 15 to an audience of 1.6 million viewers, a huge improvement over what Bravo previously drew in its Tuesday-night time period.

They'd hate to show the HUNK gay men. That would tick off way too many people.

So the liberals use the same stereotype they whine about and make all of their gay men feminine.

[NordP]

;-) don't worry, they won't get you - I'll protect you!

Don't worry. I don't need protecting.

60% of anyone and everyone involved with TV Guide is gay.

That's still a far smaller percentage than that at Entertainment Weekly.

I've seen the ads on Comedy Central...

but we'll have to wait and see if its funny... if its just a bunch of guys being slobs, it will be waste of time.

"They need to take a few real men, like a Cowboy, a Construction Worker and a Truck Driver and show those 'queers' how to act like a real man!"

Hmm... cowboy, construction worker... yeah, here we go, here's the group you're looking for:

Area Homosexual Thinks He's Still In The Closet (satire--the onion)

The funniest thing is the onion uses stock royalty free pictures from...some service I guess. The same picture of the "gay" guy was used in an ad run all the time by one of those "certification" schools...."get certified as an 'occupational medical technology machinery procedure operator' in just 3 months!!!!!!"

The difference is, as you said, we laughed at Klinger. Now we're supposed to laugh with them, or be branded tolerant homophobes.

This agenda comes all the way from the top. Even ratings take a back seat to the lavender goal.

II have not actually sat down to watch this show either.The blatant name is so offensive and bold that it just turns me off intellectually.It is scary that are young boys who come home and actually watch this thing.Usually there is no parent to say or lead them in the right way. I cannot keep but thinking how much our nation would be better off without TV.In years past I am sure there were plenty of these guys around,but they were not glorified as the leaders of the fashion and decorating world.It is hard for a normal woman to find a place to get her hair fixed that the place is not crawling with all sorts of lude and pathetic creatures.

[LisaMalia]

Since they call themselves queer, is it ok for heterosexuals to start calling them that as well?

One of my 79 year old mother's pet peeves is that the homosexuals took the word "gay". She said when she was young it was such a nice, innocent word. To be able to refer to them as "queer" would be a refreshing change.

I'm sorry, but I catch it every once in a while. Those guys are hilariously flaming. We just laugh and laugh.

[Terriergal]

I wouldn't get too upset. America has been laughing at homos since the dawn of TV: Milton Berl and Flip Wilson dressing in drag; Klinger on M*A*S*H; Jack Tripper on Three's Company; Ellen....

LOL exactly!

[AppyPappy]

It's a funny show but so was Amos and Andy. Same concept.

[CyberCowboy777]

As a man, I refuse to frequent any "salon" to get my hair cut. I cut it myself, with a bowie knife and hedge trimmers. Okay with trimmers, and it is very short

[Iron Eagle]

Well, I am a straight, conservative, catholic, married to my high school sweetheart. We have three kids. I think the show is hysterical.

We stumbled on it one night, and we laughed our butts off.

I hope I never become so damn uptight that I can enjoy a TV show just because the characters are gay.

In this case, the show is far less damaging than many "mainstream" comedies that push normalization or any agenda.

This show literally feeds on the stereotypes, the men are funny and self-depricating, and, if anything, it sets the gay agenda back. (It has an Andy and Otis quality to it).

For crying out loud people, relax your face and smile. You don't have to like it, but you should at least watch it before firing off the rockets.
