ABC cancels Welcome to the Neighborhood
"Welcome to the Neighborhood," the ABC reality television series, has been cancelled. Queer Day is applauding. Let me tell you about it. The show premise had three white Texas Republican Christian families getting to pick who gets to move into the suburban dream home on their sleepy cul-de-sac, all done in the name of expose them to differences so they could overcome their biases.

Queer Eye's Fab Five are delivering something of a twist this season, or perhaps they've just decided to get a lot more extreme, as in Extreme Makeover more specifically. Where they've normally found schleppy fashion violating souls with hygiene problems, it seems the boys are turning off onto a somewhat higher road. Watch for straight guy Lt. Stephen Halliday, 45, a New York City firefighter who received third-degree burns on more than 50 percent of his body in a St. Albans house fire in late 2002.
