- If you finished season 2 of "Queer Eye" already and are looking for some positive inspiration in your life, these are the shows you should watch.
- "Queer Eye (for the Straight Guy)" is the original, and definitely worth a watch for those who didn't grow up watching it.
If you're like us, you cried your way through season 2 of Queer Eye within hours of its release on Netflix. Which means you're probably looking for something else to fill that Fab Five-shaped hole in your life. We have a feeling it'll be a while before we get any additional episodes, so here are nine suggestions for shows to keep you busy until season 3. (Photos via CBS + VH1 + Fox + HGTV)
"Queer Eye (for the Straight Guy)"
We're partial to the Netflix reboot, but the current Fab Five wouldn't exist without their early aughts predecessors, Jai Rodriguez, Kyan Douglas, Ted Allen, Thom Filicia, and Carson Kressley. If you've never seen the original series, which ran from 2003 to 2007, it's worth a watch.

"What Not to Wear"
If your favorite parts of Queer Eye are the style and grooming makeovers, do yourself a favor and track down some old episodes of What Not to Wear. From 2003 to 2013, fashion experts Stacy London and Clinton Kelly, along with a dream team of hairstylists and makeup artists, helped sartorially challenged nominees transform their outward appearance — which often had the added benefit of boosting their inner confidence, too.

"Master Chef: Junior"
Cooking competitions can be cutthroat, but this spinoff of Gordon Ramsay's MasterChef, which itself is a spinoff of a British TV show, will expand your heart and your appetite. Ramsay, whose other shows require constant bleeps to cover his cursing, is kinder and more even-tempered around the junior contestants, and the contestants themselves are so encouraging and supportive of each other that you almost forget it's a competition. Which is not to say they don't bring it in the kitchen — these kids are seriously talented chefs.
