Project Runway jumps from Bravo to Lifetime
Hey, boys. I know it took, like, two whole seasons before you became comfortable enough with your masculinity to admit enjoying Project Runway and start watching the show with your lady-friends. It's really great that you were open-minded enough to spend a night every week with Bravo, NBC's flamboyant cousin. Anyway, about that... Project Runway is leaving Bravo for Lifetime. Secret Runway fans need come out now, because "Oh! I thought tonight was Top Chef! I guess I'll just watch this anyway..." isn't going to cut it anymore, because the only other options on Lifetime are Meredith Baxter TV movies and Your Mama Don't Dance.In all seriousness, I'm not sure that this bizarre jump is the best move for Runway. The quality of Lifetime shows has always been a little iffy to me, and the tone of the network doesn't seem to fit. Whereas Bravo feels like it fits Runway's younger, arty audience, Lifetime feels a little... menopausal. That's mean, right? Okay, just pretend I said "too Reba-tastic". The folks at NBC are none too happy about this move either, filing a lawsuit against The Weinstein Company.
The Variety article states that Weinstein announced the sixth season will be premiering in November. How can we really trust them with our shows if they don't even know that Runway's fifth season hasn't even started yet? Come on.
