No wonder I couldn't find it on cable. All this time I thought the show was named "Brown Eye for the Queer Guy"!

Though I'm VEHEMENTLY anti-homosexual (what everyone else in the world, these days, would classify as bigoted and chauvanistic even though during an elightened era of this country's history several decades ago -everyone was anti homosexual) I tried watching a few minutes of this laughable schlock a few years ago. Pathetic effeminate men were talking about new clothes and fashions which were so obsolete and '70's-esque that I cringed. One of the many cliches that this show proves wrong is that: 1. Homosexual men are not more intelligent than straight men. In fact in all my encounters with them they are a lot blinder and more moronic than straight men. They are more verbose -much like their female counterparts- but very blind and stupid, otherwise. 2. A homosexual does not have a greater sense of fashion than the straight man. In fact his fashion tastes are a lot more backwards and stupider. This show and many other like examples in society demonstrates that man was meant to be man and woman was meant to be woman. Some men are born more feminine than others and some women are born tom-boys. And while one can cross the lines of gender entirely and in almost every way look and act the part of the gender they were not "meant to be" they will never truly be that gender. All he or she will be is laughable and pathetic.

So much a part of the slew of television shows designed for you to feel bad about yourself just because you don't dress in accordance with the opinions of two narcassistic twits- but the show is smart because if you hate it your (1) wife or girlfriend will roll your eyes at you and (2) real or false accusations of homophobia. . .you're in a tight spot for hating this crap- man, that's smart. . .

I am in accord with adc103051.

Utterly sad.

I like it! The straight guys are great sports to let five gay guys come in and change their homes and wardrobe. I think its funny when they have the guys prepare food......the girlfriends always seem to like the changes in their men!

Why would I want fashion advice from a bunch of dudes who wear pink pants with a zebra t shirt and cowboy boots? I hate their jokes, everything isn't related to sex dudes.

Let me preface my review by saying that I neither have a problem with homosexuals or the fact that they have their own show. Not a problem in the world. But I dislike the "queer eye" guys for several reasons. For one thing, they think that they are oh so fashionable and "chic" and straight men are barely capable of choosing their own clothes day by day. I resent that. I may not wear clothes that Hollywood elites think are "cool", but I have my own sense of fashion, and I resent five gay guys treating me (or any other straight guy) like a fool because I don't dress like them. I also can't get over the fact that they have adopted the nickname "the fab five". That nickname began with the Beatles - who WEREN'T gay - who were called the 'fab four' by the Press and their fans. Not only do the "queer eye" guys not deserve such a nickname, but it makes me angry that people will begin to associate the nickname with homosexuality, further adding ammunition to idiots who are absolutely convinced that the Beatles are gay.

take it off the air!

How about the Judes of the world get over themselves and appreciate how much the Fab 5 try to give and help people? The only reason I give it a four instead of a five is I think the critism is a little to harsh at the end of the show. These men getting help are a work in progress-- not to mention they are nervous being on national TV with a bunch of guys watching them shave. It is really fun to watch though!

Not only is this show boring, it is boooooring!

I love it! Carson=Hilarious, scary at times, they most gay Jai=Good looking. Too bad he isnt straight. Thom=Talks funny Ted=Boorrring Kyan=Normal Hairresser

The promo for queer eye this week says the next lucky makeover is scary garcia a nudist. I havent watched Queer Eye in a few weeks, but this episode should be hysterical with Thoms line I quit check out the spot, it's on Bravo's website

Judging the show and not the lives of the people on it: I've only caught this a couple of times, but I have to say it was pretty entertaining. I wasn't aware that they would sometimes get the subjects entire family involved.

Oh for crying out loud Jude, get over yourself. Incest does NOT equal homosexuality. Judge not lest ye be judged, mmmmkay? You are a sinner too, so you have no right to judge. By the way, if you actually watched the show you would see many redeeming qualities. On one episode a couple was about to be seperated because the guy was getting shipped off to Iraq. You should have seen sll the nice things the fabulous 5 did for them. They provided them with all new home furnishings, brand new laptops so they could chat to each other, a years worth of groceries, etc. Doesn't sound too evil to me. I find the show rather amusing. It's nice to see some of the guys who are slobs clean up. Perhaps they'll get a better appreciation for what women go through to look nice. It requires more than a 10 minute shower and quick shave.

Although it is not the worst show out there, it is still morally pathetic. This show glorifies homosexuality which is condemned in the Bible. Homosexuality is an outright sin and should not be supported or glorified. This certainly doesn't mean that we should hate them or that they can never be saved, because God loves them and wants them to turn form their ways to Him. It just means that it shouldn't be glorified. I mean, society is hypocritical. Society condemns incest, yet it glorifies 2 men or women having sexual relations to each other.

Best show on televison, Carson is fabulous!

if i wanna see gay guys remodelling houses/people, ill go live in key west.

I love this show!! I watch it with my boyfriend every week, and believe me, it has not turned him gay!... and no, this is not a show where they dress up stratigh men to look gay!! it's the 21st century people. Some people who have spewed out their anti-gay hatred here haven't even seen the show, so they don't know that it's FUNNY, entertaining, and that there's no gay sex going on! why are you so afraid-- afraid you might turn gay if you watch? afraid your friends will laugh at you?... afraid you'll LIKE IT?!! ... better take a look at yourselves before you go pointing the finger. I take offense because i have friends who are gay, and they're above all, PEOPLE. I also take offense at those who spread hatred and justify it as a religious act. I consider myself a religious person, and I don't find this show immoral, wrong, or a threat to society. It's closed-minded people like you (funny how you all love the internet though!) that give religious people a bad name! you make us all sound like fanatics holding pitch forks. Lighten up everyone- it's meant to be ENTERTAINMENT!! and if you don't like it... DON'T WATCH IT. it's THAT simple. (might I add that most straight guys could stand to learn a thing or two about cleanliness and style from the FAB 5?!)

Okay, so 5 gay guys helping a straight guy look better and treat his wife/girlfriend better is evidence of the moral decline of our society. People! It's a t.v. show! Lighten up!

What has America come to. Yeash!!!! By the way, Opera being black is a completley different, than a moral or more likely unmoral choice.

Soul Junkie needs to learn how to spell kleptomaniac. And how can you liken homosexuality to a behavioral dysfunction? Isn't this 2005? For a minute there I thought I had stepped into a 1950s sitcom. I'm sure you'd prefer those days, but then you couldnt use your computer to spread your hate and intollerance! You'd have to go back to wearing bedsheets and burning crosses! It's totally ridiculous to hate a entire group of people, not to mention a TV show, based solely on thier sexual orientation or any other biological factor. If someone said they hated Oprah because she is African American that would be neo-nazism. Isnt this the same thing? Get over yourself and the self-righteous crap rolling out of your mouth. I love the Fab 5. And they love men. And all those opposed?

The first season was hilarious. But it gotten old really fast. Carson (or whatever is name is) is the star of the show in my eyes. It is a very interessting idea and I enjoyed watching it for a while, but I don't watch it anymore.

How fabulous.

It's an amusing show that is also very informative. I love it.

I'm not really a gay-friendly person, but when I watch this show, I see the Fab 5 as people who actually care about other people. They're just helping straight men to change their lifestyles for the better. What's wrong with that? More good, straight guys for us girls! ;p But sometimes, the show gets too draggy, too much into detail... and I am curious how Thom can almost completely redesign houses within a day?

The show has some good parts about it, but I find it hard to beleive that 1 guy can totaly repaint/change an appt in one afternoon. Sometimes they seem to go overboard, but what the hey, I think that's the idea of the show.

My mom keeped on bragging to me how great this show is, so I gave it a shot and changed the channel within 10 minutes how boring this show is. I don't know his name but the blonde guy with the big nose is sooo annoying he thinks he Mr.Noeverything, get a life.

i love this show it is the funniest ever and the fab 5 should be called the hot 5 cuz they r sooo hot esspically cason. my sister loves carson and so dose my friend.he is sooooooooo funny and for all thoses people who h8te him go find a life then u will love it . and for some ppl how can u say that a show is bad wen u hav never watched it before so GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!

Would someone tell the fashionista to get something done to his hair that looks like it hasn't been washed or trimmed forever. I can't believe that someone that wears fliplops and has hair that looks yesterdays spaghetti has enough nerve to tell others how to dress. He's the worst!!!!!!!!

This shows is only one of the many shows around that glorify a society free of morals and family values. The same morals and family values that have made America a successful country in such a short time.

Never watched it, never want to.

its the best show on tv

I absolutely LOVE this show, and normally I don't even like Reality or makeover shows. What makes Queer Eye so great, though, is that the Fab 5 are truly fabulous! They genuinely care about the straight men, and are very sweet and intelligent. Those of you who think its stereotypical or immoral need to lighten up and open your minds! The Fab 5 have more compassionate and loving than you Bible-thumpers will ever be! This is one of the best shows EVER!

Can we say....WAY too much information?!?

Best show ever. It is by far my favorite. I have every episode on tape and can't go a day without at least watching it once... If you like queer eye, and love Carson you should go to www.carsonkressley.com It is his official website, there is a great forum there, and even a section where you can drop Carson a note!

I love this show. Its so funny! Plus I love fashion and interior design...so I learn alot at the same time! :)

This kind of programming is a perfect example of how our society chooses to glorify disfunctional behavior. I imagine soon enough there will be a reality program about cleptomaniacs and alcoholics. I guess if we cannot avoid homosexuals, in this day and age in our country, we might as well be able to laugh at them.

Never saw it never will.

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!! And I love Carson! They're sharp, quick, funny and absolute sweethearts. For those who can't stand the show... A little advise: Don't take yourselves sooo seriously! It's a sad world outthere, this is just an opportunity to sit back and relax so why not grab it?? Carson, you ROCK!

I have never watched this and never will. I can dress myself I don't need homosexual men to do it for me. They might have a sense of style but that doesn't give queers the right to gay up us straight men.

I hate this show. I don't care if your gay or not, but please don't force us to watch your lifestyle on TV. To be honest, if some gay guy tried telling me how to dress, I'd tell him to f*** off. I can dress myself thank you.

this show is stereotypical of gays and straight people, it's just plain bad for society. oh yea and REAL men dont care about fashion anyways

These guyz are hilarious!!! I luv them... they've got gr8 tastes in design and fashion. They r so funky!!! I could be friends wit them... I'm a girl but i wouldn't mind their opinion lol (Do you want to come shopping wit me???) You go boys. Luv ur album...

I think this is the BEST show I've ever seen! I saw it for the first time completely by accident at a friend's house. The next day I changed cable companies because my current company doesn't carry it. I have watched it 4 times now and I am totally in LOVE with THOM!!! He is so cute!!

I do not feel like this is a show that is consistant with fundamental family morals. Not something I want in my home.

I don't think abominations should create fame and profit, especially while using television to influence impressionable children at the same time.

Did you know that Bravo, or the production company Scout, fired about 50% of their enslaved staff from season 1? Yeah most of the people that worked to get this show up and running were replaced by Hollywood people. They've hired four times the staff too! I recently found this out while attending a charity in LA. In this industry I don't find it hard to believe, but I'd love to read a book about written by those staffers who were let go, Im sure we'd get the truth then!

Update: I checked out their book - it's a must-read for all guys. Great ideas on how to dress, socialize, decorate your home, cook, and other useful tips. Seriously read this, especially if you're sort of lacking in style points...Funny show. I want to hire these guys.

Please keep this show on tv, this is one of the most interesting, funny and innovative shows that has been on tv in a long time.

I don't watch much tv to be honest especially reality tv shows, can't be bothered with them. However once I saw this show I was hooked! It is so entertaining, which is something we all need. I think it was possibly a big risk in making this show as it could well have been a mockery of the gay community, but I think it has worked well. I don't think they are trying to make straight males gay in any shape or form, they are simply showing the straight guys a little bit of self appreciation and how to make the most of themselves. They are all lovely guys, each has a talent that they put to use. Okay so we may not agree with them all personally but overall the straight guys seem happy enough with the results. My partner is a straight guy and he loves the show. He isn't a homophobe but he's never really been gay friendly if that is the correct term. i know not all gay men are the same as straight men aren't but I think that the Fab 5 allow us to see the fun side and if I dare say this but the new female! The only downside to the show for me is the advertising. There does seem to be a lot of product advertising, whether it be designers, hair products, stores, etc.

Annoying and unentertaining. The entire concept of the show is entirely ridiculous. The idea of a bunch of gay guys dressing up a straight guy to look gay just seems like an incredibly blatant attempt to create controversy. The show also aids in perpetuating the unfair stereotypes attributed to gays. The morons who tune into this show deserve what they get.

I didn't watch reality TV until I discovered this show (I hate to even think of it being in this category but I guess it is :) I love the energy, the upbeat and positive message, the decorating ideas, and the fun. I get uncomfortable with some of the sexual innuendoes and wise-cracks, though. I think the show is great in idea and form without all of that. Carson is the worst offender; I think he dilutes his message to the straight guy and the rest of us when he uses cheap shots like that. I sometimes cringe when the Fab 5 go too far but I think the show has merit and is entertaining.

i absolutely love this show. the fab 5 are amazing guys. they are so funny and have so many helpful tips. they're also hot!! makes me wish i was a guy guy instead of a female.. kidding.. or am i?

It's an entertaining and quite funny show. The Fab 5 are the drill seargeants in this Boot Camp for schlubs. They knock them down (with rapier-like wit) and build them back up with doses of culture, grooming, interior design, food sense, and fashion. The transformations of the straight men is incredible. I am amazed that there are guys who can be that slovenly lazy and apathetic about themselves. Carson Kressley is hilarious. After watching these guys, I now know why women lament, all the good guys are gay. I give 5 snaps for Queers!!!

The only people who don't like this show are homophobes. Queer Eye is the best!

How about a shpw caled Straight Eye for the Queer Guy, where I take a gay guy, buy him a Blue Ribbon beer, take him to a hockey game, throw out his pink pants and replace them with blue jeans,and tach him how to use a chain saw.

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy has to be one of the best shows ever!! Its comical, witty, outragous, informative, and all around entertaining. 2 thumbs up for the Queer Guys!!

Do we really need this many stereotypes? Just give Ted Allen a Cooking/Talk Show and send the others to reality school.

oh my god!!! i luv this program! anyone who doesnt agree and says it sterotyping gay men should WAKE UP! all 5 of them have a different range of personalitys and anyone who thinks that gay men are evil or what ever crap you have come up with should come in to this century my best friend is gay and i love him to bits! we are like an english will and grace! (just want to say how cute and sweet jai is and that every time i see him i want to hug him) and it sucks that they have only shown like 5 episodes over in england:( keep up the goodwork boys!

I absitively love this show. (Yes, absitively IS a Tedism) It's smart, funny, and just so sweet. The guys end up really becoming friends with the Fab 5, and it's so cute. The show isn't stereotypical, not really. Not if you THINK about it anyway. This show isn't a sitcom, the guys aren't acting they're themselves, and if you don't like it, or think it's stereotypical too bloody bad. The Fab 5 are wonderful, and they make me laugh hysterically. To the person who said being gay isn't right I'm just a little curious as to who gave YOU the power to decide that. What isn't right is judging or thinking you know something when all you have for back up is a 2000 year old book. This is the 21st century, people are gay, get used to it! It's not a trend, not a fad, it's who the person is, and it's about TIME they're getting rights they deserve. Anyway, back to commenting on the show, I got a little off topic, there, (hmm...me, off topic...such a surprise, really) I love this show, and I've FINALLY found a reality TV show done the RIGHT way! Yay!

Like most people commenting on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy I think that the show is fantastic! I hate reality TV, this show however really has me hooked and I never miss it, it's truely excelent. The people who have posted nasty comments about it really are pathetic, as even if they don't enjoy the show there is no reason to write horrible things about Queer Eye or gays in general. Queer Eye is without a doubt my favourite show. Unfortunately the Australian one is being made and I am certain will not be nearly as good. But lets hope they can atleast pull it off in a way that isn't too over the top. Queer Eye just keeps getting better and I am sure will continue to do so. I love it and I love the Fab 5!

I absolutely LOVE the show, I take my hat off to those guys. I just wish they would come to Australia for a visit, so I can tell them how great they really are. The show always makes me laugh and its about time television does that.
