BRAVO & FABULOUS! WEDNESDAY NIGHT TV
Season 4 of Project Runway kicks off tomorrow night, adding an hour of fabulousness to my already crowded Wednesday night on TiVO. At least for the time being (until new episodes run out due to the writer’s strike), I am loving the 1-2-3 punch of Pushing Daisies, Private Practice and Dirty Sexy Money. And because the Bravo network is the Channel Queen of Repeats, I am able to record the 11pm edition of Project Runway every week.
I used to watch Survivor religiously, but I extinguished that torch a few years ago. Now I am loyal to The Amazing Race and Project Runway only (though Work Out and Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List are summertime guilty pleasures). I’ve never really been drawn to other reality shows, especially the game shows, quick replacements and knockoffs.
I almost feel guilty for watching a reality TV program during the writer’s strike. But at least this show is an existing, unscripted series (as far as I know); not one of the many crap reality shows that are being rushed into production to air as filler during the strike.
Hell, I feel guilty just watching television at all. It is a strange time to be a huge fan of the boob tube.
