When I should be working on my lecture, I find myself watching LifeTime instead. Sad right? Now, I know that I have made fun of LifeTime before, I mean who hasn't? Miss Tori Spelling anyone? (Although I do admit that if Mother, May I Sleep With Danger? is on, I will sit down and watch.) But despite the cheesey-ness, or is it because of it? I still love it.
All those Nora Roberts movies? Or how about John Stamos in The Two Mr. Kissels? Or how about Tracy Gold? Or any of those former sitcom starts that I remember from the late 1980s and 1990s.
And then the predictable plots? You know that if you are a male actor acting in a LifeTime movie and you are cheating on your wife only 2 things can happen to you: 1)Your wife will find out and leave you for another man; 2)You will die because the person you are cheating with is crazy.
Or how about the tawdriness of those behind the scene romances? Tori Spelling again and that empty shell of a former man she is with? Or Valeri Bertinelli and that really gay looking guy she left Eddie Van Halen for? Or Leanne Rimes and Eddie Cibrian? Or even Anne Heche and that cameraman? Oh the juicy tabloid gossip! Well, at the very least I see it when I stand in line at the market.
So maybe that's why I like it? Because it's predictable and it amuses me? Or how about I just don't want to do my school work? That could be it too. I am amazingly lazy after all.
But why LifeTime of all channels? I mean, it's nicknamed "The Feminine Nazi Channel" after all. And like I said before, it's so damn predictable. And seriously, are there any real happy endings? So why do I like it?
