I admit it, I’m a huge Project Runway addict. So this news completely baffles me. Project Runway is leaving Bravo and going to…Lifetime? The The New York Daily News reports:

The deal, estimated to be worth upward of $150 million, has officials at Bravo and owner NBC Universal feeling way too last season.

So much so that NBCU has filed a breach of contract suit against “Runway’s” owner, the Weinstein Co.

I don’t know what NBC Universal did to the Weinstein brothers, but this move is just ridiculous. It has to be motivated by money (but then, everything in television is). But Bravo was the perfect home for Project Runway, and to suddenly move it to Lifetime? I don’t even know if I get the Lifetime channel, I never watch it. The article says it’s a channel known for reruns of the Golden Girls, but I personally only think of overly melodramatic films about cancer.

I don’t know much about the general buzz, but I know most of my friends and I were very unhappy with the last season (which is a bit of an understatement). The general critical reception early in the cycle was lukewarm. Moving networks at this stage, especially to one that half their viewers don’t even, seems like a very bad idea to me.

Did you enjoy last season? Will you actually tune into Lifetime for the new season in November?
