Imagine

Project Runway was supposed to make it so hip, but legal issues have delayed the arrival of Heidi Klum & Co. to Lifetime.

Nevertheless, the network’s on fire, and I’m not just talking about DietTribe’s Jessie Pavelka.

First, they gave us the irresistible Heather Locklear-Robert Buckley vehicle Flirting with Forty, and tonight marks the premiere of Prayers for Bobby, which tells the emotional true story about a 1970s religious suburban mother (Sigourney Weaver, pictured at right) who struggles to accept her young son Bobby (Ryan Kelley) being gay.

What happens to Bobby is tragic and causes Mary to question her faith, and ultimately, she changes her views in ways that she never could have imagined, becoming a crusader for tolerance for all.

Prayers for Bobby premieres tonight at 9 p.m. You must watch it.
