The writers' strike hurts me deeply. When I think of all the good TV I'm going to miss over the next few months, I could weep.

War and starvation have nothing on the fact I'm going to be forced into watching hours of "Deal or No Deal."

One bright light in my TV world is the return of "Project Runway" (8 p.m., Bravo).

The competitive reality show is back for its fourth season and is already showing promise of craziness to come.

One of the contestants, Elisa Jimenez, is from Santa Fe, and she's definitely making an impression on her competitors.

The self-proclaimed "accidental fashion designer" has other contestants saying things like: "She might be a little off her block." And "Elisa reminds me of a rain goddess woman, all spiritual in the Himalayan mountains. She's a little strange."

Every reality show needs a contestant who's a mile off-center, and "Project Runway" has found that special someone in Elisa.

On tonight's premiere, Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn meet the anxious group of contestants in New York City's Bryant Park to deliver the first challenge.

The competitors have a limited amount of time to scramble for luxurious fabrics, and for once there are no requirements besides showing who they are as designers.

When they line up on the runway, Monique Lhuillier, a top designer of evening wear and bridal gowns, joins Klum, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia on the judging panel as they decide who will be the first to hear "Auf Wiedersehen."

Sew cool to have this show back.

"American Skinheads" (7 p.m. National Geographic) is one of the more disturbing documentaries I've watched in a while.

The one-hour special delves into the white-power movement.

It features first-person insight from skinhead leaders, sociologists, law enforcement agents and undercover investigators.

Cameras also go inside a secret white-power meeting in Indiana where members are encouraged to abandon the traditional skinhead shaved head and steel-toed boot look to fit into mainstream society.

They are among us, blending in, buying hair products and less-militant footwear.

According to the film, the skinheads now have secret codes on the Internet and use blatant, violent lyrics in headbanger metal music to share their message of peace, love and understanding.

One of the more sickening messages is the skinhead's 14-word call to action; "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."

If ignorance is bliss, then these people must be really, really, really happy.
