What to Expect: For a while there, it really looked as if some nasty litigation would keep Tim Gunn and company from making it work on a new channel, but the series returns for Season 6 with a new city for a backdrop — Los Angeles instead of New York — and a new production company (the Real World team). Otherwise, though, the show should feel comfortably familiar, with Gunn, Heidi Klum, and judges Nina Garcia (now representing Marie Claire magazine instead of Elle) and Michael Kors, as well as a very similar set. Oh, and a bunch of cutthroat designers; let’s not forget them.
