Looks like Lifetime has done it again...

[Brent88]

according to Lifetime's site, not only will it now air at 1pm ET/PT weekdays beginning Monday, but the 1am Sunday showing is gone after tonight. If you go to Lifetime's site and go to the Unsolved Mysteries page, you'll see the Saturdays at 1am ET/PT airtime is gone, and then if you look at next week's schedule, it doesn't have UM on the schedule for next Saturday Night(Feb. 28th, early Feb 29th).

I am so disgusted right now...

Oh and BTW, despite what Lifetime's Unsolved Mysteries page says, it is 1pm beginning Monday, because if you go to The Nanny or DW pages, you'll see it's new timeslot added(The Nanny 6pm ET, DW at 6:30pm ET) beginning Monday.

What about the 6:00 p.m. daily time here in California?

It's now 1pm, no longer 6pm. 1pm Monday-Friday. The last Saturday Night showing was last night and the last 6pm showing was Friday.

I hate it too. I am going to have to use 2 VCR's now because I am in the process of getting all of the episodes of a sitcom that airs at 1pm ET. I only have about 30 episodes to go(and will be done by Mid-March) and I don't want to stop now, plus, I am trying to get all the episodes of UM I can, since it seems to be nearing extinction from Lifetime again

[gaf]

Is there any way to find out UM's ratings on Lifetime?

If there is... I haven't seen it. I have a feeling the ratings for it are horrible.

[gaf]

Maybe. Lifetime went from showing it three times a day, two of which were pretty good time slots, to one time, and they keep changing the time. Not sure what's going on there.

I just emailed Lifetime and asked them what the ratings are. I thanked them for showing the program. Hopefully they'll answer. If they do I'll post it here.

[Brent88]

I can see why the ratings are horrible.

The new episodes that are Lifetime-produced(which they have been showing lately), the majority of the stories have already been shown 10 times anyway. People are less-inclined(outside of us) to watch a story over and over and over. The old episodes have been played more than that.

[gaf]

Well, it's been more than a week since I emailed Lifetime with my question, and so far, nothing. Doesn't look as if I'll get an answer.

I was going to say something on their message board, but it looks as if someone already has!

[Brent88]

I already have.

That's an auto-response, Gaf. I have NEVER gotten anything other than that from them!

[gaf]

I know it's an auto-response. I just thought it was funny. I didn't ask them a hard question. And I'm so glad they plugged their "What Should You Do?" show in their email to me. Can't wait to watch it. cough
