Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Thursday, October 23.
Top pick
Project Runway (Lifetime, 9 p.m.): After a season full of “you’re outs,” Heidi Klum finally gets to deliver some good news as she crowns the winner of Project Runway Season 13. Char, Kini, Sean, and Amanda show off their collections at New York Fashion Week, while self-styled star Emmy Rossum serves as this week’s guest judge. Even if the judges throw a last minute twist at the contestants (which they didn’t do in the first part of the season finale), it’s unlikely tonight’s episode will top this season’s innovative “Rainway” challenge. Unless, of course, the designers are asked to create a stylish look for Kate Middleton for a “Reignway.” Or a functional equestrian outfit for a “Reinway.” Or a new Dwight Schrute costume for a “Rainnway.”
Also noted
Gracepoint (Fox, 9 p.m.): Much has been written about the similarities between Gracepoint and its British counterpart Broadchurch, but one thing that clearly differentiates the two shows? Guns. British detectives don’t carry firearms (on TV or in real life), but thanks to a simple hop across the pond Carver and Ellie are welding them tonight. Gwen Ihnat hopes Carver is better at shooting than he is at small talk.
A To Z (NBC, 9:30 p.m.): In “D Is For Debbie” Zelda debates whether she should invite Andrew to a family funeral. Since Brandon Nowalk speaks fluent sitcom, he has a sneaking suspicion that no matter what she decides Andrew is going to end up at that funeral anyway.
Parenthood (NBC, 10 p.m.): Carrie Raisler has been keeping up with NBC’s underappreciated drama for its final season. Tonight Max develops a crush, Amber goes on a date, and Julia brings her new boyfriend to a family function. And while Carrie knows “The Scale Of Affection Is Fluid,” her love for the Parenthood knows no limits.
