Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (2003)
Gotta love the originality
I have no particular opinion about gay issues, but I really love this show for its originality and imagination. I agreed with the guys when they ragged on that woman that one of their subjects wanted to ask to move in. And although I think Carson's comments can be hilarious, it's boring to have him pretend to be hitting on the straight guys. And please, no more underwear sniffing!
What I wonder about this show is if they can bring in enough variations on the theme so it doesn't get repetitious. The first show really was the best, because that guy went from looking like a total mess to being really handsome and cool. The changes have been less dramatic in the subsequent shows.
Third Watch (1999)
Will we see anything new?
I love Third Watch, but I am tired of the never-ending situation between Kim and Jimmy, between Faith and Fred, and between Carlos and everyone. In each of these situations, at least one character needs to evolve into something at least a little different so they're not whining away about the same old stuff. I don't agree that this show is a clone of ER or any other show.
Since last season ended with a real cliffhanger, this may be a way of opening up the plot lines in new areas and injecting some much-needed freshness into this show. Hope so!
