What's with Lifetime, can't they keep any sitcoms besides The Golden Girls and Designing Women.

It seems like they get sitcoms and then get rid of them after a couple months. For example, Night Court, Murphy Brown and Ellen.

Well, Lifetime should have kept "Ellen." But next year, they are picking up "Mad About You," "The Nanny," "Caroline in the City," "Suddenly Sudan," and "Will & Grace." Good decisions, indeed.

I think they are going to keep airing "The Golden Girls," it's just that now they will have more variety in television shows! And, I can't get over it; Lifetime picked out some excellent shows for reruns. Not that they never had good shows - I love "The Golden Girls," and "Designing Women" is okay. It's just that Lifetime won't be airing "The Golden Girls" 40 times a week anymore probably.

I think Lifetime should pick some classics from the 50's to 70's such as "The Lucy Show," "Phyllis," "Rhoda," "Maude," "Here's Lucy," "The Flying Nun," "The Partridge Family," "The Betty White Show," "Life With Elizabeth," "My Mother the Car," "The Carol Burnett Show" and many others. That would sure put a lot of variety in Lifetime. Anyone agree?

I agree about getting some from the 60's and 70's but I think they should get The Facts of Life but of course that probably won't happen at least not any time soon.
