UPDATED 2022: 'Project Runway' premiered on Bravo December 1, 2004 to a low 354,000 viewers and 0.2 adults 18-49 rating (219K in the demo). The first season saw tremendous growth, up to 1.07 million in the fourth episode, and to a huge 2.01 million viewers by the season finale (1.0 rating). The second season premiere, in December 2005, lost a million viewers down to 924,000 (0.5 rating);  however, a similar pattern of growth emerged: up to 2.32 million by episode eight, and to a then-series-high 3.41 million for the second season finale (1.9 rating). The show aired on Bravo through season five before making a controversial move to Lifetime where it aired for the next 11 seasons. It moved back to Bravo beginning with season 17 in 2019.
