Project Runway Takes a Break
I am very late on this week’s Project Runway recap. I know this. I have a very good reason, though: I just care anymore. I still like Leanne, Korto, and Jerell, and I don’t even mind Suede, but the rest of them are just terrible, terrible people. I don’t even want to spend an hour a [...]

Project Runway, S05 E8: Double 0 Fashion. Last week on Project Runway: Leanne made car part couture and won. Keith had a gigantic nervous breakdown and lost. I started to wonder if the show had lost it, as well, when it couldn’t even make said breakdown dramatic or interesting in any way. This week, the designers [...]

Project Runway, S05 E07: Fashion That Drives You Last week on Project Runway, Daniel failed to embrace the dragtastic nature of the challenge and was sent home, where he is surely making a high end cocktail dress at this very moment. This week, the designers face a dreaded “innovation” challenge (read: thinly veiled product placement) when [...]

Maestro, BBC2’s new celebrity conducting show, is reality TV gone highbrow. And yes, you did read that right. It’s a show in which celebrities (and I use that term relatively loosely) compete against each other to see who is the best at conducting the BBC symphony orchestra. In traditional style, they go up against a panel [...]

Project Runway, S05 E06: Good Queen Fun. Last week on Project Runway: Brooke Shields showed us she’s still hot, and Kelli sadly showed us that she was not by designing a surprisingly tacky dress. This week: it’s a gay old time when PR breaks out the drag queen challenge, complete with special guest Chris March.

Project Runway, S05 E05: Welcome to the Jungle Last week, Korto celebrated the Olympics by stealing a win out from under Terri’s nose, and Jennifer went home, where hopefully there are lots of dictionaries and she can learn what surrealism actually means. This week: the designers get to create an outfit for Brooke Shields to wear [...]

14. August 2008 Posted by Plattie
With the new reality show Snog, Marry, Avoid, the BBC is doing its very best to destroy its image as a purveyor of tasteful programming. This is a dreadful TV show. Of course it is. Look at the premise – young women who wear too much makeup are wheeled in-front of a computerised voice called [...]

Project Runway, S05 E04: Rings of Glory Last week on Project Runway: the designers were pretty much given free rein with a photo inspiration-based challenge, and Emily felt free to create a really ugly dress. Kenley won, allowing her latent smugness to rise to the surface. This week: hey, did you know the Olympics are coming?

Project Runway, S05 E03: Bright Lights/Big City Last week on Project Runway, Wesley’s discovery that short + tight + shiny = cheap earned him a ticket home, while Suede’s insistence on talking about himself in the third person did not automatically disqualify him from winning the challenge. This week, the designers find inspiration in New York [...]

Project Runway S05 E02: Grass Is Always Greener Last week on Project Runway, Jerry explored the possibility of serial killer chic and was the first one sent packing. This week, the designers must create environmentally responsible dresses for their model clients, and it turns out models really like the color brown.

Exhibit A for why I love this show.
The BBC has released the first trailer for Merlin, the 13-episode retelling of the famous fantasy saga. The series will also air on NBC this winter.
Kristen Chenoweth uses the power of song to explain exactly why crystal meth is a bad thing. Some NSFW language.

Monday’s top picks:
There’s something for everyone on Monday night. How I Met Your Mother still makes me laugh every week, which is something I never thought I’d say for a CBS comedy. CBS, 8:30
Chuck also still makes me laugh. So does Heroes, which follows it, though I’m pretty sure Chuck is the only one that’s intentionally funny. NBC, 8:00 and 9:00
For cheesy goodness, Gossip Girl’s second season has more than lived up to the promise of the first one. Chuck may be the greatest soap villain since Amanda Woodward first flexed her claws. CW, 8:00
