An open letter to the Lifetime Movie Network
Dear Lifetime Movie Network:
Today is Sunday, and what I do all day, every Sunday, is watch movies on your network. Unless it's like Mother's Day or Heart Transplant Weekend and you're running all of your sappy stuff. On those occasions, I fire up the DVR, because The Roommate and I frequently record back-ups. We've been burned, you see.
Anyway, killer lineup today. But can we talk about casting? There have been three examples today which have profoundly disturbed me.
1) Jack Wagner stalking Judith Light? Sorry, but no. Cheryl Ladd? That I would have believed.
2) Greg from Darhma & Greg as, uh, Satan? Uh, no.
3) Matthew Lillard as a character I, as a viewer, am supposed to care about? He died. So what? It's Matthew Lillard. He'll hardly be missed.
We all make mistakes, Lifetime Movie Network. And sometimes those mistakes wind up back to back on a Sunday afternoon. While I certainly find it amusing, I'm also sure I could do a better job. And as it turns out, I'm available! Get in touch, eh?
Love,
Jess
