YMMV / Queer Eye

• Retroactive Recognition: Fans of Chopped are sometimes surprised to learn that Ted Allen got his start on this show.
  • Similarly, younger viewers going back to watch the original Queer Eye may be surprised that RuPaul's Drag Race judge Carson Kressley was a member of the original Fab Five. Though given the Small Reference Pools of queer television, and the fact that Carson was cast on Drag Race because of his work on Queer Eye, this happens less often.
• Unintentional Period Piece: While you'd expect the fashions to date a bit over time, what's really striking after less than a decade is the gadgets that are occasionally flogged as the newest, coolest thing. Hey look, here's a new phone that you can do email on! And did you know you could rent DVDs over the Internet now?
