Bravo's Throwback Thursday Line Up Is Fabulous

by Lindsay Mannering

Want to see Vicki Gunvalson back before she got a new face? Interested in taking a trip down memory lane with Carson Kressley? There's a network for that. After likely observing the success that MTV's had with their Retro breakfast line up that airs reruns of Laguna Beach and The Hills, Bravo has launched Throwback Thursdays. Starting today, they'll air some of the most memorable episodes of some of our favorite Bravo shows in the vault.

Each Thursday through the end of the month, there will be mini marathons of the Real Housewives of Orange County, Season 1; Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Season 1; and the Real Housewives of New Jersey, Season 1.

First of all, Queer Eye, guys, Queer Guys! When that show debuted in 2003, it changed the lives not only of the men who received makeovers, but the lives of us at home, as well, who watched as a disgusting hermit was transformed into a beautiful prince. Oh, and when they sit around at the end on the fancy couches and sip champagne and admire all their hard work? It was everything. Bravo will re-air Queer Eye Thurs., August 15 from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET

As for the Housewives, well, I think it goes without saying that we're totally hopping back on that train. The RHOOC debuted way back in 2006 and was the first of its kind. Revisting the genesis of a major franchise will be like watching grainy home-video of our family, only they're not our relatives, and wear really ridiculous satin tank tops. RHOOC airs Thurs., August 8 from 2 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. ET.

And the The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 1 airs Thurs., August 15 from 2 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. ET. Aren't you curious to see the table flip all over again, and to watch Teresa blow all their money on enormous vases for the entryway of the mansion they can't afford?

Bravo's Throwback Thursday couldn't have come at a better time.
