'Project Runway' Says Auf Wiedersehen To Bravo

buddytvgina · 04-07-2008, 09:30 AM

Peanut butter and jelly, milk and cookies, popcorn and soda, Project Runway and Bravo. Some things just go together. What happens when peanut butter decides to sue jelly and jelly moves on to a different sandwich? Do you take the plunge and try jelly with cream cheese or give up on jelly forever? Enough with the food comparisons. In a shocking announcement today, Project Runway is leaving Bravo and heading to rival network, Lifetime. NBC, not taking this move sitting down, has filed a lawsuit against The Weinstein Company, for selling the rights to the design show.

What!? Lifetime!? I think that's such a bad move. They're going to lose viewers and Project Runway is fit for Bravo, NOT Lifetime. BOOOO!!

Of course I'll still watch, but I too think it's a bad move. Bravo has such a classy feel to it that goes perfectly with shows like Runway and Top Chef. Lifetime still has that "women in peril movie of the week" vibe to me.

Yeah, this sucks. Big time. I don't even know which channel Lifetime is on. Bravo will definitely suffer, as PR is it's marquee show, and other than Top Chef, all they have are second and third-rate reality shows like Shear Genius.

As long as it's still on the air, i'm grateful.

I am of mixed feelings on the matter. While I have loved it on Bravo, and I feel that it is best suited for that channel, they MIGHT get the women viewers that they so desire by going to Lifetime! We will have to see if Mina and Michael go as well. If they do, the show will remain a hit. If they don't Heidi and company are in SERIOUS trouble!

Who cares what channel it's on? Would you still watch (insert your favorite how here) if it was no longer on (insert the channel here) and on TBS instead? I don't really care about what channel a show is on as long as it's enjoyable.

I just feel like Bravo has been the pioneer for portraying the gay population accurately and bringing them into mainstream media. The guys from Queer Eye have all said that they wouldn't be anywhere without Bravo. I just feel like Project Runway, Top Chef, Shear Genius, have showcased all types of people and have really always had diverse casts. I just hope Lifetime is as open minded.

Project Runway is a proven entity and will survive without Bravo. Please this last season promised to give it momentum!
