I rarely surf above 61 on my television. Well, there's LOGO on 163, but they're usually showing some sort of Melissa Etheridge video or weepy movie about being gay in whatever subculture.
Last night, however, there was seriously nothing on and I found myself exploring the nether-regions of my cable box. I stumbled upon the Lifetime Movie Network and I may have discovered a new love. While I don't necessarily think I'd actually watch anything on it, I love the idea that it exists and that I can watch my custody battle/cancer survival/domestic abuse sagas any time I want.
M.B.B. has gotta eat too, folks.
On the marquee last night was "Too Young To Be A Father" starring Picket Fences' Kathy Baker. It was very cute that they planned that just for Father's day.
In any case, here are a sampling of titles (along with interesting notes) from the LMN Web site to whet your appetite for the drama.
Torso: The Evelyn Dick Story
Unwed Father (1997 – starring Brian Austin Green)
What Kind of Mother Are You?
Every Mother's Worst Fear
I Do (But I Don't) — (I swear to God this is real.)
Our Mother's Murder
Panic in the Skies! – (starring Erik Estrada — exclamation point is indeed part of the title)
Roses are For the Rich
A Face to Die For and A Face to Kill For (unrelated)
and finally
A Mother's Justice; A Mother's Fight for Justice; A Mother's Prayer; A Mother's Testimony; and A Mother Waits: Danger Beneath the Sea (two of these movies star Family Ties' Meredith Baxter-Birney, can you guess which?)

I’d like to point out that in the Brian Austin Green one, he knocks up the oldest daughter from the Beethoven movies. And it’s awesome.

LMN is awesome on a Saturday afternoon with nothing better to do. MBB is a LMN staple…one of my favorites is one from the 80s where she is a mother (duh) with a raging eating disorder. My brother and I used to call it the barfing lady movie.
Allow me to share the three most important LMN lessons:
1. He will never leave his wife for you.
2. Don’t shower if you’ve been raped.
3. If he cheats with you, he will cheat on you.
