QEFTSG

I realized when I saw the guys from Bravo's Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (QEFTSG) on the cover of Entertainment Weekly that I was way behind in commenting on the show. I have to say, I was skeptical beyond belief. So much so, in fact, that I didn't even watch the premiere until days later when enough people had reassured me that it was not crap (including both non-online friends and trusted bloggers like Max). I love it! There's something so unbelievably warm about it. True, they're often cruel (Thom is, I think, the one who makes the remarks with the most edge [cf: "...and then you lost your mind?"]), but it's always clear at the end that they really want the straight guy to be comfortable and happy. I can't remember the last time a show made me smile so much. And clearly, given the buzz and the press, no one needs to be told to watch this show, but nevertheless, I had to mention it. That, and I have to declare Ted to be my brand new TV boyfriend, giving Zach Braff of Scrubs a well-deserved hiatus.
