The assignment on last night's "Project Runway" sounded deceptively simple. Design an outfit -- any outfit -- for pregnant (with twins) super model and actress Rebecca Romijn.
Despite being a little star-struck and a lot freaked out over designing maternity wear, most of the designers did okay. A few of them designed big hits, a few designed big misses, and one laid a giant egg. And he did it on purpose.
Royal Pains (10pm, USA) - For the season finale of "Royal Pains," USA is running a promo that shows a montage of the episode's little dramas and then asks, "Is this the end of Hank Med?" No chance! Don't they know this is cable's most popular summer series!? One of the dramas on Hank's plate tonight is Divya's pending marriage. If she marries, she must leave her job. We are confident the show is coming back, but it wouldn't be the same without Reshma Shetty's genius PA, Divya (left). Make it happen, USA.
Project Runway (10pm, Lifetime) - The contestants have to make a dress for a celebrity. Wow. Please don't give anything away, Lifetime.
Verminators (10pm, Discovery) - They should just rename this show "My Rat-Infested Life."
Who Wants to be a Millionaire (8pm, ABC) - It's Regis's last night of special primetime "Millionaire" shows, but apparently, he's going out with a bang. First, there's a (not so) surprise guest, and then contestant Ken Basin from Los Angeles makes it to the million dollar question. Will he win the big prize?
True Blood (9pm, HBO) - Sookie, Bill, and Jason (Ryan Kwanten, left) finally return to that upside down, big bowl of mess called Bon Temps. Sookie works on Tara, Bill deals with dreadful Maryann (still can't figure out why people love this character), and Jason tries to help Sam.
Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami (10pm, E!) - This is the one where Khloe gets busted for having drugs (or so E! leads us to believe) at her radio job, and the one where Kourtney hooks up with another girl.
Army Wives (10pm, Lifetime) - Claudia Joy receives a shocking diagnosis after she and Denise get into a fender-bender. 
Mad Men (10pm, AMC) - Betty's stroked-out father comes for a visit, and the Drapers must dine out with the stuffy new British boss, Lane Pryce, and his snobby wife. Meanwhile, Peggy (Elisabeth Moss, right) gets a little too personally involved in a campaign at work.
It's Me or the Dog (9pm, Animal Planet) - It's "Super Nanny" for dogs, complete with a sassy British dog trainer who shows up to point out that unruly children, I mean dogs, are always the fault of the owner. Tonight she helps a young woman whose social life is hindered by her crazy lab mixes.
Acceptance (9pm, Lifetime) - An original Lifetime movie with Joan Cuzack as the soon-to-be-divorced mother of a daughter who is trying to get into college while struggling with her parents' breakup.
Samantha Brown: Passport to Great Weekends (10pm, Travel) - Samantha Brown is roughing it this weekend in the Great Smoky Mountains, exploring underground caverns and hiking at night. Most of her time is spent in Tennessee, but she does go white-water rafting and kayaking in the Nantahala River near Bryson City, NC.
It finally happened. "Project Runway" has finally returned to our televisions. It is on a different network and in a different city, but it still has Tim Gunn as mentor and Heidi Klum as host, and together they definitely make it work.
After an overly-long two-hour "All-Star Challenge" special at 8pm, the main event got underway at 10pm. Heidi and Tim welcomed the new designers to LA with a rooftop champagne toast, and we see that the group of 16 is made up of a refreshingly wide range in ages, ethnicities, styles, and backgrounds.
Into the Pride (8pm, Animal Planet) - Ten weeks into his stay with the pride of "problem lions" at Namibia's Erindi Private Game Reserve, Dave Salmoni is troubled by his lack of progress with Cleo (left), the queen of the pride, who only wants Dave to disappear. If you know what I mean.
Real Housewives of Atlanta (9pm, Bravo) - First we get the "director's cut" of last week's "Unbeweavable" episode in which Sheree tried to "shift" Kim's wig. Not sure exactly what that means. Extra fight footage? Then in a new episode at 10pm, Sheree attends a bodybuilding event and Kim has some nanny drama when she finds out her kids have been left unattended. All of which begs the question: Why does a woman without a job need a nanny?
Project Runway: All-Star Challenge (8pm, Lifetime) - Before the official start of the new season (which begins at 10pm), eight designers from previous seasons compete for a $100,000 prize. Nicole Kidman makes a cameo appearance, setting up a challenge for the eight contestants. In the 10pm Project Runway season six premiere, 16 fresh hopefuls are introduced and begin their competition. Series regulars Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia return. The show, which previously aired on Bravo and was based in New York City, is now based in Los Angeles.
I never thought I'd see the day when Lifetime would become a regular part of my TV rotation. Sure I've checked out the movies on a lazy weekend.
But now with the channel getting 'Project Runway' and after watching "Drop Dead Diva," I think I'm all the way in.
Premiering Sunday at 9 p.m., "Drop Dead Diva" begins with Deb (Brooke D'Orsay) and Jane (Brooke Elliott). Deb is a model, sweet enough to be beloved by a lawyer boyfriend, but so shallow that when she gets to the pearly gates, there is no log of either good deeds or bad deeds. She's declared a 'self-centered' zero.
Merlin (8pm, NBC) - Merlin is saved from a magical winged creature by young Lancelot (Santiago Cabrera), and then tries to help Lancelot become a knight in King Arthur's court.
Army Wives (10pm, Lifetime) - Chase comes home early but has difficulty readjusting, and Joan decideds to christen her baby before she's deployed.
Iron Chef America (10pm, Food) - A showdown between New York Chef Sue Torres and Iron Chef Bobby Flay. Judges are Isaac Mizrahi, Mark Bittman, and Isabel Gonzalez.
Sunday at 8 p.m. Lifetime airs the first of its movies based on two novels from Ellen Byerrum's Crimes of Fashion series.
First up, "Killer Hair."
If you want a fun, light chaser to wind up your weekend, tune in.
That long bitter battle over Bravo's, well now Lifetime's reality show, Project Runway is over.
Reports say that the Weinstein Company has agreed to pay NBC Universal a settlement fee, and acknowledge that it improperly sold the show to a competitive network (Lifetime) without giving NBC a right to match the offer.
Blah blah blah. Lifetime announced that the Weinstein Co. will pay NBC for the right to move it. Now Lifetime, when will you show it?
