HOME > Queer Eye For The Straight GuyNBC to edit "body fluid jokes" out of 'Queer Eye For The Straight Eye' episode after some affiliates balk
According to a TVWeek report, the one hour long episode of "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy" that is scheduled to air on NBC tonight will be slightly different than the episode that originally aired on the Bravo cable channel two weeks ago.
According to the report, NBC's Augusta, Georgia affiliate planned to make a decision on airing the episode this morning. "I am looking forward to getting the [preview] tape, and from what I understand NBC has been very responsive in editing out the gratuitous excretory scenes and references," said John Mann, GM of Schurz Communications-owned WAGT-TV in Augusta, GA. Barring any surprise disappointment in the edited version, WAGT-TV plans to air "Queer Eye" at 10 PM as scheduled by NBC. WAGT-TV aired last month's half-hour NBC on a delay as a result of similiar content issues.
Not all affiliates are waiting to see the edited version before making a decision however, Mike Weeks, the GM of Gray-owned WITN-TV, told TV Week that he plans to delay "Queer Eye" until late night -- a decision he wishes NBC would make. WITN-TV also opted to delay NBC's half-hour episode from last month. WITN-TV will air infomercials instead. |
