Guys, confess! How many of you are addicted to...

Lifetime Movie Network?

I sure am. Not the goopy chick-flicks, but the true-crime stuff like Before He Wakes or Lies My Mother Told Me. Both of which played on Thanksgiving Day.

Why am I wondering about this? Partly because over on Jezebel.com, a poster said her Dad watched Lifetime movies "when he thinks nobody is looking." So I wondered how many more of us males are closet Lifetime freaks.

Every once in a while, Lifetime shows a real bizarro movie that turns out to be full of more fun and surprises than a box full of kittens.

Like one of my faves - Cyber-seduction.com: His Secret Life. It must be seen to be believed, but it's basically the "Reefer Madness" of internet porn. A movie trying to communicate with teens, apparently written by a team of 75-year-old right-wing fundamentalists. Jaw-droppingly stupid.

I'm also devoted to the show Snapped on Oxygen Channel. And many of the true cases on Snapped get turned into cheesy movies on Lifetime! Art imitates life!

A favorite Snapped recently featured a woman who torched the bedroom of her disabled husband. She had taken out, IIRC, no less than FIVE life insurance policies on him.

This woman was very active in her church, and went on-camera to weep and claim it would be impossible for her to hurt anyone, because she loved God and had Jesus in her heart, etc.

One of the cops investigating the case said: "She was calling the insurance companies while he was still smoldering."

2. My wife had that dumbass station on all day

I was outside splitting firewood and came in about noon, and I could hear the cheesy dramatic music from the other room as tear jerker after tear jerker flashed across the screen.

She claimed she only had it on for background noise while she trimmed the Christmas tree, but I know better.

3. My daughter refers to it as

The "Women in Jep" channel.

Lifetime is not watched at all in this house.

4. I admit I have my guilty pleasures as far as TV goes. Lifetime is not on that list.
