Queer Eye for the Straight Guy

(Queer Eye)

Synopsis:

The original Fab Five: Ted Allen, Carson Kressley, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, Jai Rodriguez. You never know what the Fab Five will do – or say – next as they travel across the US and deconstruct a straight guy’s life, giving him a fabulous new wardrobe, personal grooming tips, a signature recipe or two, some good-looking furniture, personal relating skills and a brand-new attitude.

Quick Thoughts:

Everyone knows “Queer Eye” on Netflix – but how many know that the latest Fab Five is NOT the original? Or that the show is a revival of the original “Queer Eye For The Straight Guy”? In fact, the currently running version wouldn’t exist (along with a lot of other queer TV shows!) if it were not for the original show. So before we dive into the current Fab Five, let’s jump back to 2003 when the show first hit the Bravo Channel – and turned into an Emmy award-winning queer reality-tv series! Interestingly enough, the concept that kicked off the five original seasons is the same one used in the revival along with some fabulous queer guys! So if you’re a fan of the current Fab Five, take a look back in time at the original group – their seasons still hold strong even today.
