I know, I know, you're thinking, "Whaaaaaa?"
Bravo's Queer Eye For The Straight Guy was cancelled a while ago, but there have been ten episodes of the show finished for quite some time now, and Whitney over at USA Today has found out that the last season of the show will start airing this fall.
Interesting how this show just completely fell off the radar, eh? People talk about this show the way they talk about "The Macarena." But it was a fun show there for a while. Oddly, the Bravo web site doesn't even have a page for it anymore, though they do have one for Queer Eye For The Straight Girl.

"Queer Eye" is a textbook example of what happens when a network oversaturates its schedule with one show. When it's ALWAYS ON, no one feels a need to seek it out, because it's ALWAYS ON. If Bravo had run a dozen episodes, put it on hiatus for a couple of months, then brought it back with great fanfare for another dozen episodes, they could have ridden that cycle for years. Instead, they ran each new episode ad nauseum throughout the week, repeating it on a seemingly endless loop some nights. Once there was a back catalog of episodes, did a week pass without a "Queer Eye" marathon? A clip show? A blooper show? A behind-the-scenes show? A making-of-the-music-video show?
"American Idol" figured it out. When it's on, its a phenomenon, and when it's over, it's gone for the better part of a year.

The special wedding, weight loss, etc themed episodes didn't help. Changing up the format of a show is not such a good idea when you have decent ratings. It was nice show while it lasted.
