I can't afford cable. When is my My Network station going to start airing Lifetime movies again? I enjoy the old movies, but with all this repetition of newer films you'd think they'd have the Canadain Chick Flicks again. I enjoyed those.

I think Lifetime could use the story of the lawsuit against them being spun into an original Lifetime movie.

For years I've been expecting a defamation suit to be brought against
Lifetime by EVERY MALE EVER BORN OR LIVING!!

Agreed. Wasn't it Saturday Night Live that introduced a parody with "You're watching Lifetime - Men are Bad?"

Television for neurotic women

Lifetime: Homebase for the She-Woman Men Haters Club

Not always. I hardly ever tune in Lifetime, but last week I got hooked by their rerun of The Betty Broderick Story. It's the true story of a crazy San Diego socialite who murdered her husband and his second wife. In this case, the roles were definitely reversed - the woman (played by Meredith Baxter) had serious anger issues, and the husband was the good-guy. It happens...

If it wasn't Meredith Baxter, the role could've been played by Tracey Gold, Valerie Bertinelli, Nancy McKeon, Melissa Gilbert, etc...

Right. The Broderick story was filmed in the 90s, when Patty Duke was another one of Lifetime's troupe, but I guess Patty is too old now for those housewife or professional woman in peril roles.

I guess Gold, Bertinelli, etc. would be the second generation of Lifetime Players. ;D

I would like to say that Lifetime has some good shows - Reba, Fraiser, and (although not as good as The Originals) Unsolved Mysteries.

I enjoy those Lifetime movies, and movies starring these actresses. And let's not forget Joanna Kerns and Lindsay Wagner.

I don't know why men hate these movies so much. As long as the women look good, I don't see the problem.

You're clearly more of a visual person than a thinker then.
Does it take you a long time to unwrap flashy paper wrapping while the rest of the family gets along with their day? ;D

I live alone. Other family members I might see once a month.
