the greatest show on earth
Imagine being on a cruise ship for a week, cut off from the outside world, then returning to be hit with the horrific news:
Project Runway,
The Greatest Show on Earth, has been sold to Lifetime by
The Weinstein Company. Well, that was exactly what I experienced upon returning from vacation yesterday and reading that, as the
NY Times reports,
Heidi Klum explained away the switch by saying, "Fashion is about change and
Project Runway moving to Lifetime is an awesome change." True, the show will most likely be felled by the lawsuit against Weinstein filed by NBC Universal (Bravo's parent company) for breach of contract, ensuring that the program
never airs anywhere ever again — but if the show survives, it is destined to suffer a fate even worse: Being sandwiched between an encore performance of the made-for-TV movie
Not Without My Daughter and a marathon of
The Nanny.
