Well, I almost hate to admit watching the channel, but hey the show is good and we all have some kind of guilty pleasure, don't we?
Anyway, I was watching " 1-800-Missing" Saturday night. The actress who plays the lead FBI agent was searching an apt., gun in hand and she actually managed to keep her finger off the trigger! :neener:

Holly-

Sounds good, but if this is one of those shows they have advised by/featuring retired Special Agent Candice DeLong, she couldn't spell SIG-Sauer right in her book...she's also anti-gun for private citizens.

Must agree that the agent in 1-800-Missing is using proper handling techniques. Could quibble about her accuracy in shootouts but that is not unreasonable considering Hollyweird license.

No, This series is fictional and is not advised by DeLong.

Yes, I like watching nice looking actresses in decently written storylines.:D

My wife loves that channel. I tried watching it a couple times but I found myself being overcome by an unreasonable urge to go shopping. The only cure I could find was to go out back and shoot something.

I guess you could say in an offhand way that Lifetime promotes shooting sports!:D

Sgt. Bob : too funny by half. Promoting shooting sports....

El Tejon: Try www.Lifetime.com or www.1-800-missing.com. The actress in question is the one who used to be on ER. For the life of me I can't think of her name right now, Sorry.

...and, wait, don't tell me....when she runs out of bullets, she looks at the gun and then throws it at the bad guy!:D

Yook.

My wife watches that channel on a regular basis. Can't get past the first five minutes of anything she wants me to watch with her without falling asleep.

Of course she feels the same way about the History Channel, so we're even, I guess.

Still, you'd think they would have about worn out the "gutsy women who fight back against the bad men in their lives and live happily ever after" theme by now...........

Lifetime - The Victim Network

The story goes like this: a woman is [beaten, raped, fired, diagnosed with cancer, abandoned]. The cause of her suffering is a [man, group of men, really butch woman]. She is later able to get on with her life and hailed as a champion by [going to therapy, talking it out with her attacker, putting all of her time into a charity to make sure that it never-ever happens to another woman in a bajillion years]. Pots of tea are often integral to the storyline.

The End.

LOL!

Chicks get 'Oxygen' too. So I guess that's two estrogen channels. What's the testosterone channel? History?

Men's channel = whatever "Mail Call" is playing on, currently the History Channel. Whenever Jim Scoutten's new show cranks up, we can add that channel to the list. :D

Lifetime is NOT the estrogen channel; it's the "Men Suck" channel.
