n one short year, Bravo skyrocketed from a niche cultural channel to a big-time cultural phenomenon. Propelled by sensational hits like "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" and "Celebrity Poker Showdown," Bravo is now the "brand of buzz" for programming that's outside the box, in the moment, unconventionally wise and deliciously unpredictable.

Bravo Series
Always smart, stylish and sophisticated, Bravo's series go straight to the heart of popular culture, providing an experience that's sure to resonate with viewers.

For 2004/05, Bravo's programming will evolve, break new ground and build on its success. Viewers can count on another stellar season of signature series including "Inside the Actors Studio," "Cirque du Soleil" and "The West Wing" and innovative hits like "Celebrity Poker Showdown," "Significant Others" and "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy."

Bravo will continue to explore unscripted programming and will become home to a host of new series in the genre. From the same production team that took America by storm with "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" comes the fun and fashionable spin-off "Queer Eye for the Straight Girl"—where an all-new team of gay men set out to make over straight women. Bravo will also become home to "Project Greenlight," which follows Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Chris Moore on a talent search for a new screenwriter and director.
