![]() Project Runway (NBC) The problem with knockoff TV shows, though, is that the originals don't cost anything to begin with, so there's no point in settling for an inferior imitation. If you, do, though, here's what you get: instead of wannabe models, it's wannabe designers. Instead of Tyra Banks, it's Heidi Klum. That's pretty much all that separates the two. Project Runway is so unoriginal that I began to suspect that someone had developed video-editing software that allowed you to feed footage in and instantly get a reality-TV show based on a template. The brooding "tribal" synthesizer during elimination rounds; the choppy editing; the super-gay title sequence, it's all here. I might think it was a parody, if I could penetrate Heidi Klum's English well enough to know for sure. Review by La Fée © 2005 |
