Project Runway’s future uncertain after court decision
Earlier this year, Lifetime Television pulled off a cable TV coup d’état by signing up the Weinstein Co., prroducers of Bravo TV’s popular show “Project Runway,” to bring the show to its network.
The courts have started to weigh in on a number of suits filed over the move and earlier today (Sep 26), NBC Universal, parent company to Bravo TV, won a preliminary injection against the Weinstein Co.
The new season of Project Runway was to have started on LIfetime this Noveber, but earlier this year, the network announced it would be arring in January.
NBC said in a statement released earlier today the company said “NBC Universal is pleased that the court granted our motion for a preliminary injunction against the Weinstein Co. The overwhelming evidence demonstrated that the Weinstein Co. violated NBC Universal’s right of first refusal to future cycles of ‘Project Runway.’ After hearing all of the evidence, the court issued an order prohibiting the Weinstein Co. from taking the show or any spinoff to Lifetime.”
In response, Lifetime released its own statement “We are disappointed with the court’s decision to grant the preliminary injunction against the Weinstein Co. It’s unfortunate that the people hurt most by this ongoing dispute are the loyal fans of ‘Project Runway.’ In the meantime, Lifetime will pursue all measures to uphold its valid and binding agreement reached with the Weinstein Co. for Season 6 of ‘Project Runway.’”
As the parties look work to sort this mess out, it appears the future of the show is up in the air…. the show is too popular to just go off the air… right?
TweetProject Runway - The Final Four - Season 5
After five seasons, it’s hard to remember all of the challenges. But this week’s challenge seemed to be an original. The designers were given the challenge of designing for each other and modeingl the design designed for them. The these this week… Music.
Here’s the breakdown:
Kenley gets (Pop)
Suede (Punk)
Korto (Country)
Leann (Hip-hop)
Jerell (Rock and Roll)
If you been watching this season, you’ll know that Korto isn’t country, Leann isn’t hip-hop and Kenley isn’t pop. So we’ll see what happens.
OMG - Suede is a classically trained cellist, so I guess he isn’t into punk. That just goes to show you that you can’t judge a book by its cover.
As the designers’ progress…. I have to say Jerrell may have nailed it.
Tim’s pep talk seemed to be catching some of the designers off guard. Kenley thinks Tim is being “snarky.” I think he was close to losing it. From her remarks, Kenley clear knows it all… we’ll see.
Next, the designers go to hair and make-up… and wow.
And now the show.
Guest judge tonight is LL Cool J - so let’s see how this works out.
After seeing the looks on the runway, I’d say Kenley or Suede are out.
Why does Kenley always want to argue - Maybe it will be her time to go.
Winning the challenge was Korto’s interpretation of punk. So in a bit of a twist it was Suede who is auffed as he’s wearing Korto’s design.
Why oh why did they keep Kenley. Although, I wont miss the Suede talking about the Suede in the third person.
Did the judges send home the right designer? Or, should have Kenley been the one to go? I vote for Kenley!
