Saturday Night Life rarely parodies anyone for being too knee-jerk liberal, and they are almost never funny. Yet, last fall, with John McCain as the guest star, they did a spoof of Lifetime that accomplished both. That should tell you something.

As for me, I find the drama so cheesy and so annoying that I can’t even be in the same room when Mrs. Xrlq has it on. So my slogan for the channel is “Lifetime: Television to Repel Men.”

I thought they called it "Lifetime" because any time spent watching it was time out of your life you'll never get back.

My wife refers to it as the “Angry Women in Peril Network.”

Concurrence from the female side!

And have you gentlemen heard about the “Lifetime PJ Parties” yet? Honest. A small group of otherwise mature women (adults at least) gather for a Liftime Marathon. Guaranteed to include women who are “eye glazing” specialists! When invited, I always try to schedule a root canal instead.

Ah, so you’ve discovered the wonders of The Estrogen Channel.

I’ve always wondered what the reaction would be if it showed a movie where the woman took responsibility for her own defense instead of being portrayed as the helpless victim of circumstance. Then again it’s been years since I’ve watched anything on that channel so perhaps they’re doing that? (yeah right)

Here’s another gal who hates that network. Really, it’s just awful television and that it’s so clearly anti-men makes it worse.

For the record, they rarely make their own movies – all of those movies were originally run on the major networks back in the 80s and 90s, when those b-list actresses were sort of popular because of the sitcoms they were on at the time.

As I noted to someone earlier, Oxygen isn’t much better, but it’s watchable, sort of.

Wait until she starts watching the “Special Delivery” and “Babies in distress” shows, I think they are on a dicovery channel.
Story after story of pregnancy complications.
My wife watched that everyday, and it was on as I came home from work.
Worst off she had seen every episode, multiple times, and STILL watched them!

I feel for you man, all I can say is make sure there is atleast one door between your computer and the main TV she watches.

I prefer to call it “FWC” — the F___ing Woman Channel.

Not very liberal or PC of me, eh?

Next time The Onion runs TV listings, check out their listings for Lifetime.

Lifetime Haters Unite
I cannot be in the same room as a television set that is running “Lifetime: Television for Women.” My preferred slogan is “Lifetime: Television to Repel Men.” Uncle has many more.
