An idea for Lifetime... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

RetroJessica · 04-20-2008, 11:04 AM

They should air "Facts of Life" episodes back-to-back @ 10 and 10:30 right after "Golden Girls" instead of that stupid "Frasier" CRAP because it would be a great TV block. Just think; "The Nanny" at 8:00 and 8:30, "The Golden Girls" at 9:00 and 9:30 and "Facts of Life" at 10:00 and 10:30! I mean, why on earth would they choose to show "Frasier", in which the main character is a womanizing know-it-all, instead of "Facts of Life" on a women oriented station for? Then they could air back-to-back episodes of "Reba" at 11 and 11:30 instead of "Will & Grace", then show some movies. It's about time they brought this wonderful show back and Lifetime would be the perfect station for it.

This is a great idea. You know a couple years ago I had a similar idea when they had Designing Woman on I thought they should of aired Facts then too because then they would of had 3 all woman casted shows. They would have one for the old ladies (Golden Girls) then the one for the middle ages ladies (Desiging woman) then one for the teenage girls (Facts). You know I still think they should do that it would be great for an all woman network.

InspectorExstead · 04-20-2008, 02:05 PM

that is definitely a great idea.
fol being on lifetime is something that should happen!
i wonder if we can write to lifetime through their website & tell them. it's worth a shot.

Actually, I'd rather have "Reba" AND "Will and Grace", but I still really like your idea. Lifetime needs to get a brain. I mean, "Frasier"? Seriously?

Jude The Obscure · 04-20-2008, 04:57 PM

I never understood how Frasier was supposed to be a fit for Lifetime, but apparently it is getting ratings for them, since it is still on. Poor Murphy Brown was on for maybe a month and got yanked. Similar was Ellen--another one Lifetime yanked early. FOL would make a great fit and they need to get DW back--Nick and TV Land have treated this show badly.

RetroJessica · 04-20-2008, 08:24 PM

If anything, they should air "Frasier" on Spike TV because it's such a sexist anti-women sh*t program! We should contact "Lifetime". Not to slam a show you guys might like, but I really hate "Will & Grace", because it started out a pretty good show than became a big gimmick.

pfeifferobsessed · 04-21-2008, 12:01 AM

the only lifetime shows i like are "reba", "the golden girls", and "the nanny"! "facts" would be a great addition!!!

RetroJessica · 04-21-2008, 10:07 AM

I know..."Frasier" is one of the worst shows ever on TV, it's just a snootier version of "Friends" and "Seinfeld". "Facts" deserves to be on this station and deserves to be on in reruns.

RoryGilmore · 04-21-2008, 02:24 PM

This would be a great idea if it would def. be on Lifetime and not the Lifetime Real Women cause I dont get that and The Division being on that channel is bad enough as it is.

Nanc and Lisa! · 04-21-2008, 06:13 PM

we should all make it a goal to write to lifetime this week. if we all did, then
I think it would make a difference!

RoryGilmore · 04-21-2008, 07:54 PM

I'll try, this is a crazy week for me but I'll find time, this is important.

Nanc and Lisa! · 04-21-2008, 11:30 PM

yep. This is top of the list important. we wanna see our facts!

ilovethe80s · 04-22-2008, 12:06 AM

I agree they could add The Facts of Life but don't take off Frasier it's still a very popular show and people like it even women my mom likes that show a lot.

RetroJessica · 04-22-2008, 10:10 AM

I'm sorry I'm criticizing "Frasier" so much. It just seems like all these newer shows that have come out within the last two decades have been all about sex, sex, sex...everyone is bedding everyone...basically all about being loose and promiscuous, whereas shows like "Facts of Life" were hip and funny without being smutty. They were more relatable. But these newer shows are all about hitting the sheets with someone.
