Every night until summer ends you need look no further for your daily guide through the summer TV jungle.

This is a rough time for nightly entertainment with the tube awash in repeats and lame reality shows, but there’s still good stuff available to get you through the work week.

Let the picks begin. .

Reality Rundown

  • “Project Runway” is back in full swing with its final season before it moves to Lifetime. At 9:00 on Bravo catch a brand new episode as the contestants attempt to recreate the Manhattan skyline in fashion. Guest judge Sandra Bernhard will help determine their fate.

  • See the worst show in the history of television end on NBC tonight at 9:00 with the season (and hopefully series) finale of “The Baby Borrowers”. Tonight, the babies’ biological parents get their kids back after letting young couples look after them for a few months. At least they got to be on TV.

  • It’s the season premiere of “Big Medicine” tonight at 10:00 on Discovery Health. If you’ve never seen this show before get ready to experience obesity seldom scene outside of a mall food court. Tonight the doctors try and save a man who’s rapidly gaining weight.
