Lifetime TV promotional "stamps"

I just watched Project Runway and was thoroughly annoyed by the huge "countdown" timer for the Rachel Zoe program that took up practically a third of the screen on the right side. It's bad enough that we have to put up with the channel logos that are pasted on the bottom half, but that huge timer was completely inappropriate and unnecessary. The only time that obnoxious thing wasn't on the screen was during the MANY 5 minute commercial marathons, each of which included at least one commercial for the Rachel Zoe program. Have you people never heard of redundancy? I did not intend to watch Rachel Zoe, but even if I'd considered it, the ridiculous timer and multiple commercials would be enough to make me change my mind. Actually, I think I've changed my mind about watching just about anything on Lifetime channel again.

Station logo plus "premier" advertisement is very annoying. It blocks part of the current show I'm watching and closed captioning of a language translation is blocked. Please get that off the screen...it's irritating.

Lifetime TV "fashionably late" screen billboard

Watching Project Runway on Lifetime channel. It is extremely annoying to have the permanent add about the "Rachel Zoe program starts in [clock] covering the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Its hard to enjoy THE program I am watching and which you have spent a lot of resources to make successful to then dilute it by covering up its screen with the stupid billboard promoting another show. I don't even like Rachel Zoe, so it makes this add EXTREMELY annoying! This is a very stupid practice!

Horrible, horrible billboard. Dominates the upper right of the screen. Bad move, Lifetime. Remove it!

I agree completely. The blurb was much too large and it was poorly positioned. Many times it was covering the face of an important character for extended periods. It was the primary reason I chose NOT to watch the Zoe show.

Lifetime TV viagra commercial on dancing dolls

Lifetime one of my favorite programs to watch is Dancing Dolls, with one exception, the Viagra commercials during the program, I do not enjoy watching those.

Dancing dolls is full of adolescent girls, some boys who love to dance, and express their talents in dance. So why the Viagra commercials?

This Summer I have watched Dancing Dolls with my adolescent grandchildren, on a weekly basis: 07/31, 08/07, 08/14, 08/21, 08/28 and so far 09/04/2015. There are other programs where the Viagra commercial would be well suited, like your movies or Little Women LA, Atlanta Plastic, or Devious Maids.

I do not watch DD4L on it's scheduled day and time, I wait for Entertainment on Demand then fast forward during the commercial, if I can, otherwise the sound is muted, the kids leave the room.

No where during this show are there adult males with sexual issues and their partners needing a pill, so why the Viagra commercials? Is this some kind of mean joke towards this enjoyable show.

Lifetime TV movies

I am so sick of Lifetime and other cable networks cutting all of the good parts out of movies that I used to enjoy. If they can't play the movies in their entirety due to some mild language or adult situations, then they shouldn't play them at all! I am tired of being tricked into watching movies on these networks only to find all the good parts cut out, dubbed over, and replaced with extended commercials!

A movie entitled "Bad Behavior" ended with a girl trapped in the house and her boyfriend looked dead. Will there be a sequel? I have movies that end up in the air although it was a very well-written movie and the acting was really good (that's why I care about the girl) I can't stand it when I don't know what happened.

Lifetime TV disgusting, horrifying, graphic commercial

I am absolutely disgusted by a commercial I saw today while watching a walk to Remember on my TV at home. I was sitting enjoying my movie when a very disgusting horrifying graphic commercial came on about the Jodi Arias murder trail case. Apparently lifetime is making a movie about the trial, well in advertising the movie, they have depicted a scene of a bathroom covered in blood and a woman( Jodi arias) talking to the cops in the background as if she had just walked in to a apparent robbery( this is how she acted in real life when news spread that her boyfriend was brutally murdered. Well this commercial was absolutely disgusting when I learned that it wasn't a fictional movie but a documentary. I don't need to see how a man who actually lived a few yard ago Was murdered.My 15 year old daughter saw the commercial too along with my husband and 17 year old daughter. Everyone in my family was dissected at the commercial. I WILL NOT BE WATCHING LIFEIME EVER AGAIN! I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO DO TE SAME. I would love it if lifetime would remove this specific commercial, and issue a very public apology. Shame on you lifetime. If I where that poor mans family I would sue you for every penny who have. I am highly disappointed in the channel.

Tired of seeing so many cheerleader movies. You need to air something other than a lot of these types of movies. Do something about your movie lineup.

I just saw a preview for James Francos remake on Mommy can I sleep with danger. I am horrified! I was watching reruns of How I met your mother at 10:00 a.m. And then I was assaulted with this graffic display of violence! I will never watch your station again! You are contributing to all of the horrors in this world by attempting to make violence entertaining.

Using foul language on a TV Show can be controlled by the parents, but when you allow the same foul language during the commercials that small children can hear is totally unacceptable behavior. Every time the commercial for Little Women of LA comes on, my two year old repeats the word b**ch. She gets corrected for something that is not her fault. I just tell her that they are really bad, bad girls and need their mouths washed out with soap. At least bleep out the foul language during the daytime when small children can hear and repeat it. You should be ashamed of yourselves for allowing this to happen. I have had to hear "Carmen is a b**ch" at least 4 times in the past hour. What kind of a message are you trying to send here?

Lifetime TV programing

I just want to mention that when you air a program like Grey's Anatomy, ( which comes on three times each day) I wish tthat when you change the schedule and put something silly like Dance Moms in its place, that you would take into consideration that often times when you do this you pre empt a continuing part of the show and unfortunately when it resumes the next day the episodes that you pre empted don''t get seen and it is really frustrating to someone who watches the show : example you are now airing last seasopn which is new to alot of us and you just aired the one #183 where Christina kills Teddy's Husband and there was a cliff hanger with Meredith and Alex. The next time it airs it starts with episode #186. Please if you are going to put something in its place for a day then pick up where it left off so you don't jip the viewers. Thank you

Sorry to say but your programming lineup is for the birds. It's always the same movies or the same theme...I was a teenage prostitute, murderous cheerleaders, psycho whatever, and slice and dice flicks, now I read your going to start promoting gay Christmas movies, just like the rest of the crap out there I thought this was to be a movie channel for women, I finished Highschool 40 years ago and the last thing I want to watch is movies about slut or killer highschool so called girls, or a romp in the hay between 2 men.
Why dont you play some of your older movies from time to time when they were better or actually had a story line. Like from 20 years ago.

I think that you show stop showing this program about R Kelly over and over again and stop trying him on TV. Let God and the Courts try him and not you. Get back to regular programming. You even should this during the holidays this was not a holiday picture. You are now more like The National Enquiry. Let this man be tried in Court. It's almost like a lynching party.

Seriously Life With Chantel? Running out of content and nothing better than that? OMG that's horrible. Unlike what anyone is saying about Dance Moms and yes so phoney but at least you get to see a dance performance...What is with this program of Life With Chantel...Horrible and boring to say the least. Why would the producers choose this coverage...awful. Let me come in and create viewer popularity because this is honestly demeaning the station. Just horrible unless your target is of that from 13 years and under

Why do you not have episode 6 of Married at First Sight on Demand with Spectrum.
Missing a whole episode like that really puts a void in the whole show.

I have 2 complaints. Number one is explained by Jchacon about it being the MOVIE CHANNEL. Why is there other junk on there? Hallmark Movies & Mystery channel does the same thing every year when they show their Christmas junk ! They as well have there regular channel like lifetime does to put that garbage on. They lose me for the season.
Number 2 has to do with the HORRIBLE ACTING!
I was TOTALLY DEVOTED TO UR CHANNEL. Not anymore. I'm happy with ur movies up to approx 2013, mostly before. The movies and acting were GREAT. Now i can't even imagine where you find the actors, especially 2017-18 They're HORRBLE !
The stories are totally repeticious. The VERY FEW that are good, I will only watch the beginning to get the idea of the story and the end to see what happened...but i can't watch the acting in between.

Lifetime TV television programming

I am very disappointed in television lately. There are all these stations out there, but only about two hours a week of worthwhile viewing. In particular, I want to complain about practically taking Will and Grace off the air completely. It is always on too late for me to watch. 7AM, I am on the road on my way to work. 10PM, I am in bed trying to get my 8 hrs. of sleep. Why can't you put it on around 5 or 6 PM? It is good entertainment and a fantastic way to let go of the problems of the day.

I'm very disappointed to see that you stopped airing The Closer! One of my favorite morning shows! Now I wish I had taped them. Please reconsider this decision. Maybe cut back on some of the King of Queens, that still runs on other networks?! The Closer is nowhere else to be found. Thanks!

I Suffer from Achondroplasiaphobia. It really creep me out when the Little Women commercials come on. I'd rather not see these, No matter where i am I start to hyperventilate. Please make it where the commercial does not show on my account. If there is any way for me to block the commercial that would help me alot.

Why do i pay for lmn or lifetime when they hardly ever play movies now? waste of money! If i wanted to see reality shows like little women or stupid my ex shows i would watch a different channel. Not to mention now lifetime movie network.com wants you to pay for online avail to watch movies you should already be entitled to watch bc you pay for their channel!

I am fed up with Lifetime changing its daily schedule to crap like episodes of american justice and cold case files. Pawn stars and American pickers do not belong in the same genre as Lifetime usually shows. I enjoyed reruns of Grey's Anatomy and desperate housewives and hate the new programming.

I think that TV is dead. All I see on TV is commercials, commercials, and more commercials about weight loss products, acne, and medicine. Lifetime used to be my favourite show and now it is just boring I prefer to just watch HBO or Fox movie channel and maybe tbs

Lifetime TV commercials

I would like to bring to the attention of Lifetime TV that the commercials during your regularly scheduled programs are awful! Every commercial is filled with static so you cannot even understand what they are saying. Very annoying. The programs themselves have no static but all of the commercials do. Why does this happen. I for one do not change the station each time a commercial comes on but am now tempted. Why are all of the programs on this station ok but the commercials are full of static and garbled voices. I do know this does not happen on any other channel, only lifetime. I checked with some friends of mine and they tell me they have noticed the very same thing. It needs to be fixed, not only for the viewers but for the companies paying for those commercials. I'm anxious to hear from you concerning this problem!
(Channel 29 with Media Com in Fort Dodge, Iowa 50501)
Sincerely,
A Lifetime TV Watcher

The audio and video runs have been out of sync for 2 WEEKS!

The audio lags at least 5-10 seconds for everything. Even commercials. It is not my set or cable. It is only Lifetime.

This has been occurring since August 9 3023. Today is Aug. 20

This happened last Friday on February 3rd 2023. This is the second time I have DVR'ed The Mentalist series. You ran the series and cut off the programming after the 3rd season. Lifetime started the series again few weeks ago and after 2nd or mid 3rd season you stopped again. What the hell! Finish the series.
