TV best bets with season finales of 'Project Runway,' 'The Good Wife' 

By Rodney Ho

After so much real-life mayhem in Boston, TV networks continue to dish out the usual mix of fictionalized drama, comedy and real-life "reality."

Lifetime's 11th edition of "Project Runway" ends its spring run Thursday while CBS's "The Good Wife' finishes up season four on Sunday. And ABC's "Happy Endings" closes shop Friday night (and it's possibly the end of the series itself.)

Two Georgia-based shows are highighted Monday and they couldn't be more different. The crazy popular soap opera that is "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" returns Monday at 8 p.m. for a second season on VH1. The slow-paced, thoughtful scripted show "Rectify," shot in Griffin, debuts Monday at 9 p.m. on the Sundance Channel. Check out a preview of the show here.
