With the East Coast power outage last week keeping a significant portion of
the United States from seeing a repurposed episode of Bravo’s Queer Eye for the
Straight Guy on NBC, the network will again air a full hour of the cable hit
Thursday, Aug. 21 at 10 p.m.

The episode, which first airs on Bravo Tuesday night, features the show’s
"Fab Give" making over a Staten Island policeman.

Queer Eye has set ratings records for NBC-owned Bravo since its premiere
in July.
