Clothes call

Those vying for attention on Season 16 of "Project Runway" include Samantha Rei, a 36-year-old designer from the Twin Cities who gives a lot of credit to her time at Minneapolis Community and Technical College. For the first time in the show's history, contestants will design for models ranging from size 0 to 22.

It's you, girl

"Mary Tyler Moore: Behind the Smile" assembles the usual cast of characters — Ed Asner, Carl Reiner, Carol Burnett — to wax nostalgically about the late icon. While you may not learn anything new, the special should help those who still need more than "a little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants" to get over Moore's death in January.

Back on the market

"Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce" heads into Chapter 4 with star Lisa Edelstein still relying on more than a little help from her friends. Denise Richards, Lesley Ann Warren and Barry Bostwick are among those making guest appearances, with plenty of opportunities for more pop-ins down the line — the show has been renewed for at least one more season.

9 p.m., Bravo
