Queer Eye: eh, they romp and play rather harmlessly and obviously. And I think the demonstrated harmlessness can only help relax gay/straight relations. Of the few I've seen, the best results seem to come from short haircuts and space reorganizing. The lesson being all guys can benefit from cutting their hair and buying a cabinet for their entertainment equipment. I must say, the interior designer on that show is pretty amazing.
I think the best interior design tv show (to continue to add pussification to this thread) was/is a British show called Home Front which used to run on HGTV. Not every project they did was a hit, but they had a pretty good average and always introduced ideas you could learn something from. BBC America runs Home Front in the Garden with some wild designer named Diarmid which is an amazing hoot, but around here, the interior one is currently off. Trading spaces, both BBC and US are kinda samey and boring- they paint, another person with powertools builds some storage, you pick out some fabric, you push it farther and usually add something really ugly or impractical, it looks homemade or totally unlike anything else in the owners' lives. Surprise!
I'm going to talk to Senior Santa about Tivo, one time $99 and $5 more per month...Still cheaper than our previous cable. I like the multiple recording feature and watching when I feel like it. I'd dial in hockey- which is what we currently record the most, the Office- which is also slated to be made into a bad US copy, misc old movies, IFC offerings, Dinner for Five can be entertaining, Nova, American Experience and the like,those Sports Night reruns that are like at 2:30 AM...and zoomy commercials! Cool.
