My wife watches quite a few lifetime movies. I sometimes will watch a least part of the movie with her. Generally, I make snarky remarks as I watch, which leads my wife to remind me I don’t have to watch. Apparently, my commentary isn’t appreciated by her. Hopefully, you will appreciate it more.

I’m not sure I’ve seen a lifetime movie heroine that weighs over 100 pounds. I will also say, even the bad guys look like they could have been hall monitors in high school. Not particularly menacing.

In reviewing a list of Lifetime movies and see their synopsis, I discovered the storylines are more salacious than I realized.

In looking at the synopsis of some of these movies, I decided to come up with some story ideas of my own. Let me know what you think.

1: So, I Guess I Really Did Kill the Old Coot

A woman gets out of prison after doing eight years in prison for killing her older lover. The catch? She has no memory of what happened. With the help of therapy and sharp detective work, she is able to recover her memory, and realizes she really did do the deed. In retrospect, she decides it was eight years well spent.

2: Where’s the Pole?
