'Project Runway' moving to Lifetime. Probably. Maybe.

I dont understand why there moving it to lifetime. that makes no sense, lifetime is not a channel for this show. mtv or vh1 makes way more sense. i love project runway, so i'll still watch it, but i dont understand, why lifetime?

Whitnee Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 11:34 AM EST

I wouldn't watch it on Lifetime. As a female...I think that station stinks. I never check it because I feel it depicts women as weak and men as our predators. I love Project Runway...but not enough to search for it on the garbage network.

erick Mon, Sep 8, 2008 at 04:45 PM EST

In this case I hope the lawyers can block PR from leaving BRAVO. Lifetime...I won't rule it that it will still be a hit, but why Lifetime...i could see more on MTV or VH1 espeically since they do fashion rocks.....I'm confused on that one. Then again maybe it will be Lifetime that opens up to a wider demographic...in that case ok...if not, i'm confused.

I thougth Lifetime was only for battered women

Basic Cable Fan Thu, Apr 10, 2008 at 08:40 PM EST

I do not get Lifetime in my cable package, only BRAVO. Although I have watched faithfully, I will not be paying to increase my cable just to watch the next season of PR.

Tipper Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 12:46 PM EST

Just another example of NBC Universal failing to hold onto its strengths. How does a network go from so high to so low in so few years? By allowing idiot things like this to happen. At least USA is still going strong, but you have to wonder...

DanOregon Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 02:38 PM EST

Looks like someone at NBCU was asleep at the switch (again). I've got to think people are too busy updating their resumes before they're bought by the Chinese.

James C Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 01:19 PM EST

The move to Lifetime is sad ... if it really happens. (NBC is PISSED[!], so their lawyers may find a way to block the move.)

And just for the record, outside of LOGO, Bravo is easily the gayest channel of them all ... which is why it's the perfect home for PR.

Mozz Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 11:51 AM EST

The thing about Project Runway is that the BRAVO brand, with its "watch what happens" and it's classy designs really augmented the show's credibility. Then we have lifetime, where the show will inevitably air next to some old Yasmine Bleeth damnsel in distress movie. Yeah, doesn't sound the same. Bravo still has the best TV reality show out there, TOP CHEF. and out of this debacle they can create a fashion show called SEW ME, in which fashion designers take people to court for just being a big fashion hot mess.

JenCar Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 11:24 AM EST

I love Project Runway. But I gotta say, putting it on Lifetime gives it a little cheesiness. It would make me think twice about watching it. It's crazy. There's no reasoning. But it's true.
I guess at Bravo, I like it in the company of Top Chef.

PoliB Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 10:52 AM EST

Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! I don't know who's responsible for this travesty (well, i do), but I smell a Tori Spelling conspiracy.

Lars Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 09:27 AM EST

I would still try to watch but PR just feels so much better on Bravo.

Ceballos Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 08:31 AM EST

I'll follow "Project Runway" whereever it goes.

I agree with the people on this board in that I'm very surprised that Bravo would let their signature show get away. I don't really think I can come up with another example of that happening off the top of my head.

Still, I'm not buying that this is some sort of cataclysmic move. I get that Lifetime is "television for women" (and, unofficially gay men), but let's not act as if Bravo is the butchest channel around. Other than Lifetime (and, of course, channels like LOGO), Bravo is the gayest network around, in my opinion.

GeeMoney Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 08:11 AM EST

Project Runway moving to Lifetime? What's going to happen next? Maybe The Golden Girls should move to Spike TV, you know, to balance it all out.

If I remember to watch PR on Lifetime, aka the channel that caters to menopausal women, maybe then I'll catch PR.

Bad move, Bravo and NBC.

paul Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 07:50 AM EST

So one day your ON Bravo, and the next day your OUT.

Mel Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 07:36 AM EST

You know, if PR had started as a Lifetime show, I never would have watched it. The fact that it was on Bravo drew me in since I was (and still am)an avid Bravo viewer. But now that I'm hooked on the Runway, I guess I have no choice but to follow it anywhere and be glad that my DVR will let me have my own marathons if Lifetime doesn't.

Diane Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 07:12 AM EST

I really hope Lifetime will do PR marathons. I usually wind up watching PR on Sunday afternoons and I suspect this viewing pleasure will disappear.

Elizabeth Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 07:09 AM EST

I'm surprised Bravo let PR get away... that was their bread and butter. Can't leave it all up to James Lipton.

MsDaisy Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 07:02 AM EST

I don't think Lifetime will do the mulitple showings and the marathons that Bravo does. Some days there is just nothing better than watching a PR marathon all day long.

Sara Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 04:15 AM EST

No, Bravo will NOT develop other shows as good as Project Runway. How do I know? Its current track record--How to Be a Supermodel, Step it Up and Dance--suck bigtime.

davidsask Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 12:29 AM EST

Will be odd adjustment for all Americans am sure. WE also just got the rights to Golden Girls to, so Lifetime better do some damage control asap!

Ricky Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 12:23 AM EST

I get the argument that Bravo copied the Runway formula to various other shows (none as interesting or successful as Runway) and that this dilutes the brand, but I think the move is ultimately a mistake. While Lifetime has it's cult following (Television for Women and Gay Men), it doesn't have the quality reality programming that Bravo has had (Queer Eye, Kathy Griffin, etc.). I think ultimately, the show will suffer and lose viewers if the move is allowed to progress. Here's hoping this is Weinsteins way of getting more money out of NBC and they can repair their relationship. I had been thinking that because Runway had built such a loyal audience, that NBC (which has a horrific lineup right now) would start airing Runway on NBC in primetime. I guess not. This is a hot tranny mess! NOT FIERCE!

Aleks Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 10:46 PM EST

I guess I'd still watch, even though it would feel really weird. I would have been fine had PR moved somewhere else on the NBC Universal ladder, like NBC or USA.

But still, whenever I think of Bravo, I think of Project Runway, and vice versa. When I think of Lifetime, I think old ladies with tea cozies. It just doesn't feel right.

Maybe by the time a season airs on Lifetime I'll change my mind. I'm at least thankful it didn't get moved to the Travel Channel, or something considerably worse like...VH1.

Explorita would agree. (It's true, ya'll!)

Maegan Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 09:08 PM EST

I am so excited!!!! I don't get Bravo and have had to watch past seasons in 7-8 min clips on You Tube. I still haven't been able to see the end of season 3 because it got removed before the episode was over! (something about it being illegal or something...) This is GREAT!!!

Snarf Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 08:55 PM EST

Fierce? It is, was, and shall ever be MAY-JAH!

Jenks Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 08:43 PM EST

I don't care what channel PR is on. I record it so I can ff through the unbelievably repetitive Bravo promos. Lifetime promos are likely just as bad, but who cares, thank so Mr. Tivo. I'll follow Tim and Heidi anywhere they go, especially after the last season -- the best ever IMO.

Brittany Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 08:00 PM EST

Project Runway is an amazing show. I will watch it no matter what channel it is on! I just hope they keep making as many seasons of it as possible!

Dominique L. Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 06:56 PM EST

It's spelled "cachet". "Caché" means hidden. I'll watch on whatever channel though :)

Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 06:55 PM EST

I don't get Lifetime. I mean, sure it is an available channel on my tv, I just find it insulting. It has long been banned in my house and my love for PR will not be enough to lift it.

The gray-haired crowed will love it, though! Auf wiedersehen PR!

Alissa Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 06:44 PM EST

I just have a basic problem associating Project Runway with The Party Never Stops, Mom at Sixteen and The Nanny reruns. But I'll do anything for Tim and Heidi. I'm more worried about Andy Cohen.

Laura Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 06:38 PM EST

Ugh. Yes, I'd still watch, but I wouldn't enjoy it nearly as much. Bravo suits Project Runway (no pun intend) and vice versa - I really don't see the point in making the move to Lifetime after four solid seasons.

susie Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 06:18 PM EST

of course i will keep watching!! as long as the show is the same, i don't see why not! (BUT PLEASE RETURN ASAP! I MISS TIMMMM!!)

Stay on Bravo! Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 06:11 PM EST

Bad Move. Sorry to those that don't get Bravo, but I'd might have to pass. I don't want to see the commercials for "Give Me Back My Baby!" movies....ugh. Bravo is for the gays, Lifetime is for ladies and "gays in menopause".

Nancy Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 05:41 PM EST

Works for me! I don't get Bravo, but do get Lifetime.

Jelana Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 05:09 PM EST

Oh, good. Now I'll always know when the Golden Girls is on.

Cristina Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 04:36 PM EST

Heck yes I'll still watch and I'll be much happier not seeing a commercial for the Housewives of Whereverville during Project Runway or in the corner of the show. Besides, maybe Bea Arthur will be a guest judge!!!!!!!! :D

Jon Mon, Apr 7, 2008 at 04:23 PM EST

Yep, as I said in the other thread, my basic cable package shockingly...SHOCKINGLY...doesn't include BRAVO! So was SOL with this past season's PR, but I do indeed get Lifetime. Who knows? Maybe there's a couple million people like me, for whom BRAVO! had morphed somehow into a premium channel, that will get turned on to PR for the first time? Savvy move by Weinstein to pick up more eyeballs (and thus more ad revenue)?
