9:00 LIFETIME PROJECT RUNWAY
Season Premiere! From Marjorie's interview with Runway contestant and Portland designer Gretchen Jones: "I think what really surprised me is how I was able to adapt," she says of coping with the show's bizarre challenges that one can imagine were at odds with the clean lines and quiet beauty of Jones' recent work. "Obviously I couldn't maintain my practice of having everything be sustainable, but I was able to apply my philosophy."
10:00 MTV JERSEY SHORE
Season Premiere! From the Washington Post: "The key to "Jersey Shore's" charm is that it's not a social study. As stupid as it looks, and as much as you can hate yourself for watching, it's a complex show about the nature of sin. There's a tendency to examine it too cerebrally in that regard, to think of "Jersey Shore" as pure performance art. Sometimes critics can be wrong in typing too many words." (Check our our Jersey Shore recaps right here on Blogtown starting tomorrow!)
