Um, fierce?
Apr. 8th, 2008 03:03 pmNote to Bravo TV: You. Are. Out.
In a move that is sure to cause ripples across a sizable portion of my friends list, it seems that the hit TV show Project Runway is leaving the Bravo channel for it's new home on Lifetime. Now, my fashion sense extends barely beyond jeans, t-shirts and plaid flannel, and I know absolutely nothing about the fashion industry, but I have to say, I find PR absolutely fascinating. I cant put my finger on why, but I guess it has to do with following something I am totally clueless about to see how the final product happens. I can follow automotive design from start to finish, I have extensive knowledge of analog and digital circuit design, I can build a house starting from blank blueprints to hanging the last picture, but clothing design? Fugheddaboutit. The combination of the collection of varied contestants, the flow of the series and the modeling of the designs at the end of each show just fascinates me. Or maybe it's in my gay genes. I dont know.
Lifetime will have a giant hit on it's hands with this one. It seems that most people I know who watch PR just in passing will usually gain a greater interest in it more often than not, and if the show continues with the same production values, crew, and Tim Gunn, it's sure to keep gaining viewers. Still, I thought Bravo was the best home for it, as their lineup of programming was as eclectic as the designers in a typical PR season. Being on Lifetime will probably label the show as something girly (or gay), which it's not. Oh well, lets hope that lifetime can (wait for it) make it work.
