Certainly it must be aimed at a female audience. Do you have satellite like "The Dish" network or Direct TV?

If you watch Lifetime long enough, you'll start getting afraid to look in the mirror. All the men on that channel are rapists, pedophiles, or axe murderers.

How can waitingtables say that women get a raw deal so long as there is Lifetime Channel aka the Bad Guy Channel!

If there was an opposite channel full of movies exploring the innermost feelings of men due to women having affairs, abusing their husbands and abandoning their children the sisterhood would be squealing like.......well like schoolgirls.

I can't imagine anybody watching it though.

That's about right. I don't watch that channel anyway, except for when there was a movie about a newswoman who had to go to Pennsylvania from Northern California to be with her Amish cousins after their parents died.

I get the basic cable package from Warner. I object to paying more than the minimum to be advertised to. I say let the advertisers pay our cable fees.

I got 3 Hi-def setups and 2 surround systems and a PVR. Right now I'm recording a Roger Waters special while I watch a "Nova" special on the Myans that I recorded last month. I have Dishnetwork with 3 HD feeds with around 250 channels.

I agree with you there. I pay too much anyway to Time Warner.

We don't have to pay postage for the junk mail we receive so why should we pay cable fees to get deluged in ads?

I think there were 31 teenage mothers in my high school.

And what is "teenage?" 13? 16? 19?

I find the use of the word "teenage" in news reports to be inflammatory and prejudicial. Since facts are what news reports are supposed to be about, let's have THE AGES of the supposed victims.

This has been an interesting thread to watch. Or, it was, until it turned into a discussion of cable tv.

It has been interesting to see who is defending and attacking the polygamist family structure, given those same people's views on homosexuality and same-sex parenting.

It appears gay couples and polygamists, though often mentioned in the same breath on the gay threads, are not really thought of as similar when the rubber hits the road.

Just an observation.
