will they do our place?

New favorite show: Bravo's Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

Sort of a combination of Trading Spaces, Martha Stewart, and Mystery Science Theater 3000. Bravo lets these guys get away with all sorts of suggestive commentary and a few swear words; the straight guys they visit are all emergency cases (pizza boxes under the couch types, or tiles coming up in the kitchen and kids' toys cluttering the living room, i.e. "the Toys R Us crack den").

Many bon mots later (at least one great zinger per show, usually from Carson, the queen bee of the five), the subject is transformed, all in good fun -- and the results, I'd say, put Trading Spaces and the like to shame (although this show obviously doesn't have TP's artificially limited budget).

"You had me at mazel tov."
