Programming
Among the most popular shows currently on the channel are Will & Grace, How I Met Your Mother, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Dance Moms, Project Runway, Drop Dead Diva, Frasier and Grey's Anatomy. The cable network also airs original television programming such as Army Wives, Drop Dead Diva and The Client List.
In addition, Lifetime airs many movies targeted to women—original and other networks' made-for-television films and some feature films, both on the main network (and largely airing on weekends) and on Lifetime Movie Network (launched in 1998).
Aside from women's programming, the network used to air several game shows in prime time, including Supermarket Sweep, Shop 'Til You Drop and Debt. Lifetime also produced one original game show (Who Knows You Best?, starring Gina St. John), with a format based on The Newlywed Game. It was canceled after one season.
The network began to air new episodes of America's Most Wanted in late 2011, a program canceled in series form by Fox at the end of the 2010-11 season (special feature episodes continue to air intermittently on Fox).

Famous quotes containing the word programming:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
