Life time is currently the top rated cable network in the country.

that should be 'lifetime,' one word, stupid cut and paste.

but seriously? top-rated? when it's for the most part women-in-distress movies? is there a camp factor here that i haven't been briefed about yet?

it's th women in PRISON movies, maura. even chiXoR's can get behind those. ;)

What a twisted exercise it would be to, for ONE DAY, just adopt all the habits and tastes of the MAJORITY OF AMERICANS. Watch Life Time. Listen to adult contemporary country radio. Buy CDs at Walmart. Read an entire issue of Reader's Digest...

Now I must puke, mon.

That Lifetime is #1 might explain the increase in female niche-marketing, in America at least. Has anyone seen "Harmony: The Cereal for Women"? And Quaker has just released "Nutrition for Women", an oatmeal formulated especially for "the special needs of women". Ick. So I think this trend is catching on. Anyway, I've tried Harmony, and it tastes like Frosted Flakes, but it apparently has estrogen in it, or something. Not sure myself.

Maura why are you forgetting Poison Ivy??? "'Strips and Pads'... it's the basic text!"

It's because they run the Xena and Gabrielle show ~50 times per week. The last time I remember hearing which cable channel was highest rated it was the USA channel. It's the bland, general-appeal stuff that gets the numbers on cable, screw narrow-casting.
