Jan | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 03:42 pm     well I don't know if we'll get it in Canada but the Brits and scandanavians are going to get it, it seems. From Zapit.com (I can't include the link as it uses commas): 'Queer Eye' Will Gaze on British, Scandinavian Guys (Friday, August 08 02:41 PM) LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Fresh off of storming Bravo's summer schedule and ingratiating itself into NBC's primetime line-up and on the verge of taking over late night as well, "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" is looking to conquer foreign climes as well. NBC Enterprises has licensed the format for "Queer Eye" as well as the original American episodes to companies in the United Kingdom and Scandinavia. Rights were purchased by Flextech's Living in the U.K. and by Scandinavia's Viasat. "'Queer Eye' has quickly become an overnight sensation in the U.S. and it is sure to be a huge hit internationally as well," says Leslie Jones, NBC Enterprises' director of international sales. "Both Flextech and Viasat saw the power of the U.S./Bravo episodes and realized that local versions of 'Queer Eye' paired with the original shows would be a knockout combination." Bravo's popular new show, which finds a Fab Five of gay lifestyle experts (Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, Carson Kressley and Jai Rodriguez) doing make-overs on forlorn straight men, has led the network to record ratings performances this summer. A half-hour Thursday night try-out did well enough that on Aug. 14, "Queer Eye" will get a full hour, followed by an appearance that same night on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." |
Squaredsc | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 04:12 pm     well i hope it will be as good. the usa doesn't do too well when we get our shows from england like wntw and now they are going to do coupling and i know it won't be as good as the original. we even tried to do ab/fab and screwed it up. |
Jedisan | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 04:17 pm     ^5 squared on the ab-fab thing. My fave british show, and we butchered it! some things are better left alone... eh. |
Squaredsc | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 08:12 pm     most def jedisan. that was a complete waste of time. |
Pamy | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 08:27 pm     I Love this show!! I was thinking the same thing when they said the Cleftones were the 5 gay guys LOL My new motto is when you turn 55 start wearing glitter!!! LOL |
Sia | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 08:29 pm     Jay Leno?? They'd better do a makeover for his bandleader, Kevin Eubanks. Maybe they can find out why he can't get a date!!! LOL! |
Pamy | Saturday, August 09, 2003 - 03:39 pm     I am watching the Cowboy guy makeover today. I love how they just get in there and start going thru everything and making jokes about it! LOL What was up with that guys sheets?? Was that a big ass stain in the middle of the bed?? How embarrasing. I love how they all run into the 'makeovers' at the beginning of each ep. |
Squaredsc | Saturday, August 09, 2003 - 06:30 pm     wasn't he hot pamy? he was smokin. |
Pamy | Saturday, August 09, 2003 - 06:58 pm     Yes he was HOT, but I still want to know what was on his sheets!! eeeekkkk |
Maris | Saturday, August 09, 2003 - 07:47 pm     I would like everyone to know that toothpaste cleaned my silver better than Gorham polish ever did. It is truly amazing. Who knew???? |
Squaredsc | Saturday, August 09, 2003 - 08:06 pm     lol pamy, frankly im scared to find out. |
Seamonkey | Saturday, August 09, 2003 - 08:41 pm     Quit reminding me about THAT. |
Tishala | Saturday, August 09, 2003 - 08:50 pm     I seem to recall that Carson said something about his DNA being there (am I wrong?) and I just thought it might be certain male emissions on the bed. Or even a mixture of male and female emissions. |
Pamy | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 11:38 am     That was one big a$$ emission then! |
Squaredsc | Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 02:03 pm     or a lot over time. ok tmi, eww. |
Goddessatlaw | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 07:26 am     MM and I saw this show for the first time over the weekend and LOVED it. I want to sign MM up for the show - he already said he'd do it. Any idea how to volunteer one's SO for the show? Wait - MM's not a slob. Do the guys have to be slobs to get on the show? |
Nathalia | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 09:06 am     Just a heads up that tonight on the Howard Stern Show 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time they will show the Fab 5 giving the makeover to Artie Lang. |
Squaredsc | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 10:50 am     gal, it seems like a requirement, you also have to be a nyc resident. thx nathalia, im going to try to catch it but heard that artie got drunk as a skunk. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 12:28 pm     Goddessatlaw - Wanna apply for the show? Go here: http://www.bravotv.com/Queer_Eye_for_the_Straight_Guy/Contact_Us/#beon If you can get MM on the show....do it! I'm sure we'd all love to discuss that episode! (PS - I assume that "MM" is your hubby....right?) |
Squaredsc | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 12:33 pm     tell mm if he does go on the show(after moving to nyc) don't forget the password. |
Goddessatlaw | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 01:00 pm     MM's the boyfriend, Sanfran - the world's greatest guy. Tall, dark, handsome, GREAT hands, fabulous head of wavy dark hair with just a smattering of gray at the temples. He's a decent dresser, but needs updating in his business wardrobe. He owns and operates a corporate sign building company, though, so he's a little prone to down-dressing. He likes getting facials, though, and gives them even better. Dang, what's the password, Squared? |
Grooch | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 01:01 pm     Tomato |
Goddessatlaw | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 01:06 pm     Huh, Grooch? Tomato's the password? Why? Guys, we gotta get him on there - I'm sure I'll finally get my formal engagement out of him on the show. COME ON, GUYS - WE GOTTA THINK. Is there someone in New York who can front him a messy apartment he can call his own for the show? BASTABLE, honey my rant is on the way. Got a spare bedroom you can donate to the Goddess deserves a ring fund? Scratching you, scratching me, everyone's got a red back it's all good. |
Squaredsc | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 01:33 pm     rofl grooch. gal that is not the password, rosebud is. |
Grooch | Monday, August 11, 2003 - 01:35 pm     No? It's not? I thought it was either that or aubergine, for sure. |
