Is 'Project Runway' making it work?

Amy is feeling a little tvlicious today.

Why is Amy talking about herself in the third person with made upilicious words?

When I was in LA, I was at dinner with some of my friends when the conversation turned to what new show we thought might be cancelled first.

Somebody picked Kath & Kim. I proclaimed, "I'll take that one step further. I say Kath & Kim will never see the light of TV. NBC will never air it."

Sing it with me now:

Summer Lovin' had TV characters a blast.

Evocative.

That's the word I use to describe Mad Men, which returns for a second season Sunday at 10 p.m. on AMC.

I know some of you just can't take it with my undying devotion to 90210.  If you are one of those people, please skip to the next section of the column. No need to get yourself all worked up.

So I'm here at the Television Critics Association Press Tour in beautiful Beverly Hills. And what's really strange about this year's shindig is that we weren't able to see any of the pilots before arriving, which makes talking to the stars and producers a little difficult.

As the saying goes, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Cable has thrived building TV shows around a single character and a tour de force performance.

Thank goodness we have each other.

Here's my problem: I keep waiting for the reality TV craze to bottom out.
