Do You Think Project Runway Can Succeed on Lifetime?
We're less than two months away from the launch of Project Runway on Lifetime, and while part of me won't believe the long-lost season six actually exists till it's on my TV on Aug. 20, the network's PR machine is already trying to whip up some enthusiasm. But while I've generally been feeling positive about the show's move to Lifetime — hey, at least it's airing somewhere — this new ad gives me pause.
Ugly Betty Rundown: Episode 20, "Rabbit Test"
This week's Ugly Betty is a little bit late to the Easter party, but no matter. It's still lots of fun — what with Daniel in a neon pink bunny suit and all. Financially speaking, things at Mode are looking quite grim, and Daniel is forced to put his dignity aside to save the company.

Chuck Rundown: Episode 19, "Chuck vs. the Dream Job"

Private Practice Rundown: Episode 20, "Do The Right Thing"
You know what? I really enjoyed myself while watching this week's episode of Private Practice. There's good stuff going on, including Dell's self-destructive downward spiral into the world of ladies who wear ripped-up stretch pants, Violet and Charlotte's BFF relationship morphing into more of a frenemies situation, Idina Menzel, and a pregnant tween.
