Preserving my Sunday routine
Dear Lifetime TV and Lifetime Movie Network:
A disturbing trend has started in recent weeks. Instead of the usual Sunday made-for-TV movie lineup, you've been showing movies like Thelma & Louise and Angela's Ashes. Luckily, since you have two channels, I can usually find something starring Melissa Gilbert or Kellie Martin, but I'm starting to get a little worried.
Like many Lifetime watchers (fans? addicts?), I have a few movie channels. If I wanted a slick production and a Hollywood cast, I'd watch HBO, Cinemax or something On Demand. I want Lifetime Original Movies, and that's why I watch Lifetime from noon to 9:00pm every Sunday. I want bad acting, poor dialogue and unrealistic story arcs. I want women's prisons, stalking and custody battles gone awry that lead to child abduction. I think I speak for the average Lifetime viewer when I say this.
Please keep this letter in mind when planning your future programming, Lifetime. Sundays are sacred to me, and I'd hate to have to watch poorly dubbed 80's movies on TNT all day in the future.
Sincerely,
Jessica
fan since '98.
P.S. While I'm here, I'd also like to request a Meredith Baxter Birney weekend. As would my roommate. Thank you in advance.
