the show was tired 2 years ago, I can't believe its one trick schtick lasted this long. They milked it for every last drop, they did... I was over it after the 3rd episode. Still, it was a moment in pop culture. RIP fab five! and kudos to Bravo.... And besides we have Project Runway now to showcase all the stereo typical queens for middle America! But I still love it.... Totally better show and just maybe QE helped pave the way for it in it's own way....

The highlight was when they tried to make over Artie Lange from the Howard Stern Show and he got but ass wasted.

Sorry for the OT post, but this story is of special interest to Dan, it's in regard to the sleaziness that is oozing from the Santorum campaign. (shudder) They're shamelessly misrepresenting the Casey campaign in one of their ads. Please do what you can to get this story read.

Love your work, love your column, love your books. Keep it up...

Now back to your discussion about the (un)Fab Five.

Yep, give em props for introducing people, granted it was on Bravo!, to openly gay men.

But this thing jumped the shark as soon as they started diverging from their original model.

And what the hell was Kai's purpose exactly?

Queer Eye is so tired its not funny. First of all they only seem to make-over middle class New Yorkers when its the rednecks in the middle of America and the South that need all the help they can get. Secondly, with more men embracing their metro-sexuality, a queer make-over programme seems redundant. Their work is done.

I love TV and was getting bored with all the political postings in the blog. So what if WWIII is starting? As long as there are TV shows to watch I could care less about the rest of the world. Please Dan no more boring politics. I care more about what's happening on the television.

The show got tired, but it had a good run for a season or two.

I thought the first season was cool, but the product placement in year 2+ became ridiculous. We lost interest after about 2 shows into year 2.

Not cancelled, unfortch. Per TMZ.

*sigh*
RIP Fab Five. though i haven't watched it in a few years, i did enjoy you while you lasted. the first season was by far the best. i will miss seeing kyan's face on tv for sure. i met him once in austin texas, at a seattle's best coffee of all places. he was even hotter in person than on tv and i told him as much.

i love carson's outfit in this picture, btw. hot.

I *heart* Thom Felicia. The man is a frigging genius. I've never seen another designer who could so effortlessly class up a joint and still have it feel just as much a creation of its occupant. Most designers impose their own style on their clients, and all their designs end up looking alike. His all look radically different and they all fit the lifestyle and personality of the clients.

The best moment of every show is always the "big reveal" - when they show Thom's work to the client. That moment always works much better than the reveal of the client's appearance makeover does. It never fails to get an open-mouthed "Holy Shit!" type of reaction.

Hello again. NOT canceled.

Queer Eye Canceled.
GOOD
they were tacky gay guys with a bad eye for everything.
Gay men seem to think they all have great taste. But the worst dressed men on this fucking planet are gay men. Oh and another thing just go to any gay mans apartment to see BAD design (I have been to many. Isn't the internet wonderful) They are either stuck in the 80's, doing 80's revival or the apartment looks like grannies house with a wall of porn.
The best way to design something is to look at your apartment and if it looks like a gay man had anything to do with the design at all then change it immediately because it will probably mean it is really fekin bad because you spend too much time at home watching Queer Eye for the Straight guy.

Maybe a good entertaining show would be "Straight eye for the Queer guy" and get some uptight Gay guys to loosen up a little and join the rest of the fucking planet.
Damn my collectables need dusting!

Bravo are lying through their teeth when they say it has not been canceled. I saw the Fab Five do a appearance in June and all five of them talked a great deal about the show having ended for ever, "dead and buried" and how they seemed really relieved that they were through with it. Unless they're planning to recast with a new Fab Five, no way that show is coming back. HOWEVER they do have a couple of dozen unaired episodes stored so the show could easily continue to air till 2007 without taping more episodes.
