Project Runway

The talented hopefuls they pick are either so needy, driven or over-confident that you can't help but to be riveted by their plights. [7 Dec 2005]

Finally, cable's hit design show is back, still the best and most flamboyantly entertaining of TV's skill-based competitions.

The most refreshing thing about "Runway" is that it's not just a forum for "Survivor"-style cattiness or "Apprentice"-style trumped-up tasks. ... The beauty of "Runway" is the contestants on this win-your-own-fashion-business show have real skills. [5 Jan 2005]

Either executives did a lot of soul-searching and decided to change nothing, or they let the show go on without thinking at all. Either way, they made the right move.

Runway remains the most delicious of junk foods, and with the added pleasure of occasionally baring witness to unique, well-crafted garments, this must-see program might even be considered educational.

This new Bravo series is definitely in, if you find amusement in fierce fashionistas and extravagant clothing that only skeletal models will ever wear. [1 Dec 2004]

"Project Runway" treats the contestants, the majority of whom are either from New York or Los Angeles and in their 20s, with an air of contempt and condescension. [30 Nov 2004]

I've watched this show since its inception. I just have to say that comments from Law Roach to the contestants are purposefully mean and degrading. I've never seen this program as a vehicle to demean people who are developing their creative platform. I prefer a show with positive critiques that help people move forward not reduce them to tears. Law Roach should be side lined and replaced.

Disappointing is the closest word I can use to describe the show this season. The static judges panel has no variety or appeal. Nina seems like a totally different person, like the others have squashed her spark. The set is awkward looking. There is just no personality to the episodes. I expect to hear this is the last season, which makes me sad.
