Half of the Brain :
the place all those random thoughts that flit through my head each day go to die

queer eye for the straight guy--
I'm enjoying watching the show. I think it offers a somewhat stilted and stereotypical picture of gay culture (which the series has chosen to accentuate by making Carson the centerpiece)as well as a fairly stereotypical presentation of the no-style straight guy. But I appreciate the fact that it's on the air at all. I have one major sticking point with the show, though (and it's not really an issue as it is more of concept that as a viewer I'm not willing to buy into): in the 2 episodes I've seen the decorator, the food guru, and to some extent the culture guy end up to be little more than glorified housekeepers. Today's straight guy is a Richard Marx look-alike and his Long Island apartment is just a pig sty and the fab 5 start out by cleaning out the fridge, loading the dishwasher, and bagging up all the old pizza boxes and food cartons.
