From the Idea Room: A Queer Eye for the Straight Guy "New" and Rebooted

In yet another recycled idea for the benefit of screen viewers, Netflix announced today that they are bringing back a 2017 version of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, with production to start in the spring.  Queer Eye was a reality show featuring heterosexual men who wanted an overall life makeover. The show aired on Bravo from 2003 through 2007.  There were five men who traveled across the country to help these men in need, remember them?  Carson Kressley, Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Thom Felicia and Jai Rodriguez.

Preliminary plans are for eight episodes of the re-do and it will be interesting to see if new and "2017" will be as popular as the original.   The original five stars went on to star on their own shows, guest star, or achieve some degree of professional success, but together on Bravo's Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, they were unique and developed a loyal fan base.  

From Sept 26, 2016, Carson Kressley

Ted Allen with partner Barry Rice

Kyan Douglas from 2013
 

Jai Rodriguez

And Thom Felicia
 

Awww, it would be nearly impossible to top these guys, what do you think?  It is extreme fun to go back and recall this lively show.
Hilarious to watch these old highlights...
