Now stands for "the loser channel." FYI, I also call LMN (lifetime movie network) "the ladies man-hating network" because the plot of their movies is Man Bad, Woman Good.
Movie Names:
Mother, may I sleep with danger? (stars Tory Spelling)
Date with darkness
Deadly encounter
Lying Eyes
Intimate stranger
The boy she met online
No surrender
But I digress... plots of TLC other programs:
Long Island Medium (A woman who can see into the future -wtf?)
Breaking Amish (removing young adults from the amish and putting them into impossible situations. Hotel in Mahatten! Modling contracts!)
I didn't know I was Pregnant (explanation not necessary)
Secret Princes (oh, my god! Princes from obscure countries come to America to compete for brides)
My Strange Addiction (people addicted to such everyday items as eating cleanser, tanning 3 times a day, puppet addicts)
Little Shop of Gypsies (another wtf moment)
Weddings shows where people compete or something galore... little girls parading about in the hopes of getting a tv show, etc.
Yep, TLC is teach us lots.

This thread is seriously making me think that people should have to get licenses to become parents. If people need licenses to fish, drive, get married, why not to have kids? The liberal in me says no, but these people make a damn good case that some people simply should not be allowed to become parents.

We could also include a license requirement to let children read the Bible or the Koran. Ofcourse, that license should never be issued.

some people simply should not be allowed to become parents.
In a society that rewards celebusluts for videotaping sex with dirtbags by heaping great financial success upon them, the least of our worries has been allowing the parents of Honey Booboo to pop out more of them thar kiddies.
I'm just waiting for one of the children from the Duggar family to get their own show (after becoming popular for writing a tell-all book about leaving the cult).

Licenses are too intrusive. I was thinking something along the lines of fines and jail time.

Having worked in a maternity ward where we regularly called CPS to report meth babies, coke babies and parents who were so drunk/drugged that they received dui's before they got a block away from the hospital, I'd say this ain't a bad idea.
Except we should sterilize these people rather than put them in jail, where I'd have to pay for their room & board.

in our house, we call those kinds of channels (and they are legion) the Women Abuse Network.

I don't know if it is the same show, but I saw this gem on TLC-I guess this is what sells.

Lifetime used to have some decent movies/mysteries.
Yeah, they tended to be about women stalked by testosterone crazed, criminal rage and abuse machines. All the other men tended to be gelded, sensitive boy toys, but, hey, every channel needs a theme song.
The rage machines always got taken down in the end, with the damsel crumbling in relief after a nice aerobic workout that must have been good for the glutes and abs, even if it came with a few bruises.

You do realize that I was facetiously expressing frustration?

Everyone we know of all political stripes says we should have a whole house full of kids and we have none. Why? It's because the very idea of parenting out here in this cesspool scares the shit out of me.

Ah, I'm not the only one shocked by the bad parenting today.
Does this guy look like the Fonze?

OK, so I'm relaxing and watching an episode of South Park, a show that ridicules the ridiculous. Sometimes I think they make shit up, but it always turns out to be something that actually is happening. For example, when I saw the Jonas Brothers episode, I was like, there's no way that Disney is spraying metaphoric cum on the faces and chests of pre-teen and early teen girls. Turns out I was wrong.
Well, in this episode, they show an animate rendering of something called "Honey Boo Boo". So I search YouTube to find out what that is.
How the hell is this crap legal? It's borderline child abuse. No 6-year-old should be even thinking about money, nonetheless narcissistically strutting her fat ass for pedo-chubby-chasers. Personally, I think that all form of childhood beauty pageants are a form of child abuse and probably leaves psychological scars.
One of the things that really disgusts me about this is that it's on TLC, a channel that used to be called The Learning Channel and was one of the best channels on television, but now is the most despicable trashy "Ugly American" network. Oh, how it has fallen. Whoever is responsible for that should be castrated, shot, and slowly beheaded.
