PROJECT RUNWAY Returns to TV This Summer

Finally the drama is over. Although done and over with in “real life”, fans of PROJECT RUNWAY will finally see this season unfold this summer when the show returns. But don’t go looking for Heidi and Tim on Bravo – the new season will be airing on Lifetime.

I couldn’t be more excited that Lifetime will bring its viewers an amazing, all-new season of Project Runway this summer. As the highest-rated cable network for women, Lifetime is the perfect home for this outstanding program as well as its companion series Models of the Runway. All of us at Lifetime are thrilled to move forward with Heidi, Tim, Nina, Michael, The Weinstein Company and the entire Project Runway team. We are proud to add these shows to our growing slate of original programming, including the hit series Army Wives, the all-new upcoming series Drop Dead Diva and our top-rated original movies.

– Andrea Wong, President and CEO, Lifetime Networks

I don’t know. PROJECT RUNWAY is such a Bravo show that it feels almost bizarre that it’s going to be on Lifetime. But at the end of the day, I’m not really sure I care where it airs as long as I can see some diva wannabe stylists strutting their designs down the catwalk soon.

Thoughts on the show finally returning? Is it a good move for the show to be on Lifetime? Do you care?

About Last Night: Were You Struck by CUPID’s Arrow?

Did you all check out the series premiere of CUPID last night?  What did you think?

As a fan of CUPID the first go around, I was excited for the reincarnation of the show. Unfortunately, this pilot left me a little underwhelmed. There was something missing. The funny wasn’t funny enough; some of the acting was over the top…it just didn’t work for me. And there was a certain sweetness missing. But I do get that it’s a pilot, so I’ll give it a shot again next week.

What about you?  Were you feeling it?

Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Wednesday, April 1, 2009

The past two nights have been jam packed with TV. We still need to talk GREEK (today, I promise).  But have you weighed in on last night’s MY BOYS? What about Monday’s CHUCK, HOUSE, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, 24, CASTLE, KINGS, GOSSIP GIRL, the renewal of FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS? It’s all there waiting for YOUR input and opinion.
