My Network TV's New Shows for the 2006-07 Season

Secret Obsessions: Fashion House
Drama

Premise: A young designer incurs the wrath of her fashion-mogul boss when she falls in love with the powerful woman's son.

First Impressions: It didn't help that MyNetwork used the James Blunt song "Beautiful," which we can't stand, for its clip reel for this show. There's some potential there, maybe, for this to be a campy, "Dynasty"-meets-"Project Runway" sort of guilty pleasure. But it didn't feel like things were going quite far enough over-the top-to get there. And, given that this will be paired with "Desire" every weeknight, how much forbidden love will viewers be able to take?

Stars: Bo Derek ("10," "7th Heaven"), Natalie Martinez, Taylor Kinney, Tippi Hedren ("The Birds"), Mike Begovich, Donna Feldman ("Deal or No Deal"), Nicole Pulliam ("The Man Show"), Joel Berti ("Inside the Osmonds"), Tony Tripoli, Garrett Swan, James Black

Studio: Twentieth Television
