About the episode[]
The episode is from the TV show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, an American reality television series that premiered on the Bravo cable television network in July 2003. The show is premised on and plays with the stereotypes that gay men are superior in matters of fashion, style, personal grooming, interior design and culture. In each episode, the team of five gay men known collectively as the "Fab Five" perform a makeover on a person, usually a straight man, revamping his wardrobe, redecorating his home and offering advice on grooming, lifestyle and food.
Training Day - James M. features James' mother helping with the decorating by sending items from Korea. Carson takes James to get new furniture, Ted teaches how to decorate lemon tarts, Kyan gets him lessons on a Thai message, and Jai takes James' dog to obedience school.
The episode features "(Reach Up for The) Sunrise" by Duran Duran, seven months before it was released on the Astronaut album and as a single. The song was also included on the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy soundtrack, released on 10 February 2004.
