I've recently gotten hooked on the bizarre detective/sci-fi hybrid show
Life on Mars. The show follows NYPD Detective Sam Tyler's trials and travails when he's transported back to 1973 after being hit by a car in present-day New York. Yeah, I know it sounds odd, but it's pretty compelling prime-time television.

I have a soft spot for makeovers, even ones on television sitcoms. Remember when I asked you if you'd ever
been tricked about an apartment? Betty Suarez, one of my favorite characters on television today, certainly was.

In the third episode of
Top Design, the designers switched from
outfitting bunkers to backdropping high fashion. Working in teams of two, the designers were challenged to create window displays for gorgeous fashions designed by Jeffrey, Sweet P, Daniel, Andrae, and Santino, contestants from prior seasons of
Project Runway.
It was definitely fun to see each of the fashion designers' looks, from Santino's macabre, black-swathed mannequin to Sweet P's bright, color-drunk mannequin.

Saturday, Sept. 20, TLC will premiere
another new series, Over Designed, hosted by design expert
Kenneth Brown. Brown will help overzealous homeowners who have taken a motif to the extreme, by enlisting the help of their family and friends to create more livable and inviting spaces.

I love all things Martha. I love her magazine, her old magazine (RIP,
Blueprint), her mind-boggling multitasking abilities, her droll conversational style, and, yes, those who model themselves as the antithesis of Martha (such as
Not Martha). So, imagine my delight when I found out that there was going to be a new Martha Stewart show on the telly.
