Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (Bravo)
common sense media says
Fun, feel-good makeover show for teens and up.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that the main characters in this makeover reality series are five gay men who, while witty, say and do things that might offend some audiences. There's also no shortage of celebratory drinking and subtle sexual references. As makeover shows go, this is one of the more positive, feel-good ones; the guys actually refer to what they do as a "make-better," and they're generous and engouraging as a rule.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Plenty of teasing sexual innuendo and banter. Sometimes the guys go looking for sex toys and porn in their subject's drawers or pretend to hit on him -- but it's all in fun. Some episodes are more explicit in their discussion of sex (usually between married or longtime couples) and include visuals of things like sex toys. One episode featured a nudist, but the crucial bits were blurred out.
Language:
Some mild swearing is bleeped out.
Consumerism:
Rampant. Every product used in the makeover is named, and companies sponsor big giveaways (laptops, diamond rings) in exchange for plugs on the show. Famous names sometimes drop by the show in exchange for a little publicity, too.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
The five have celebratory cocktails at the end of each episode, and often share social drinks with their subjects, too.

I do not care about clothes or makeup, but I can see that the 5 men on this show help people feel better about themselves.
