Dear newsletter friends,

Happy Sunday night—and happy December! I hope your Thanksgiving week was full of gratitude, great deals, and quality time yelling at your relatives about things like the reality of the first Thanksgiving.

This week, there are 20 reality shows premiering, including Project Runway and Making It.

I'll be reviewing some of those and recapping others, and have additional coverage for other shows, including Man vs. Bear, the new Discovery Channel competition that, yes, has bears as contestants.
