Two years ago I was disappointed when you moved the Golden Girls from 5 Central to 3 Central. Yet, sometimes I could still make it home in time to watch. Now you've taken them off all together! Watching the Golden Girls is my favorite way to unwind after a long day at work.

I'm not able to watch the Golden Girs in the mornings because I work, so my only solace is being able to watch it in the afternoon at 4:00, but to my surprise when I turn on LT wife swap is on...really bad move LT, you just lost another viewer til Golden Girls is back!!!

Okay, you all have tried before over the years to take GG off of the daytime lineup. I can't believe you would do it again. I am a mother of 2, I have been watching GG since it began. It is my absolute favorite show in the world. I only have about 1 -2 hrs a day to myself, and watching GG was the highlight. It was so nice to be able to watch something that takes me back to my childhood. The witty remarks, the laughs, I could go on and on. Please, Please, Please put it back on at the 4 pm time slot! It sounds to me like you could put it back on for several hours a day in a row, and you wouldn't get any complaints. I don't think there has ever been a show as well put together as the GG, and there never will be again. I don't think there is any other show on your network that I care to watch.BRING BACK THE GOLDEN GIRLS!!!!!

I only watch Lifetime at 9:00am for the GG's after that there is no point. I even stopped watching Will & Grace, Reba & Still Standing. I was excited about watching Coco Chanel, but I won't watch it now, as a punishment to LT. Bring the girls back and your rating will return, that is for sure.

Well, I hope your overall ratings are flushed down the toilet. Removing "The Golden Girls" from your daytime lineup is a bitter disappointment to alot of avid followers. Just read the comments posted here. This series has developed a following so profound that there are actually Yahoo! groups dedicated to the show, with members adopting names of characters from the show. Remember Kim Fong Toy? Uncle Hingleblotter?

Bad move, people. Lost me as a viewer.

Au revior, Lifetime. You have once again disappointed me in taking yet another hour of GG off the air. GG was the only reason I watched your network. Let's face it, your vacuous movies only appeal to those who think Harlequin novels are serious reading. GG is quick and witty, they had an exceptional group of writers.

I am cutting out the middle man and buying the DVDs. No longer do I have to rely on a network who thinks we women are nothing but disenfranchised housewives, sitting on the couch eating bon-bons looking for escape through cheesy movies.

And seriously, who even watches "Still Standing"? It's a truly mediocre show.

aLSO ESTELLE GETTYS PASSING IS MORE THE REASON TO KEEP GOLDEN GIRLS ON THE AIR. HER MEMORY SHOULD BE HONORED NOT REPLACED BY ****. R.I.P.

I totally agree here. Golden Girls has been apart of lifetime for a very long time, and with Mrs.Getty's latest passing you would think that Lifetime would honor her death with a marathon or something. Instead of respecting her passing they just spitted on her grave and took Golden girls off. I'm a stay at home mom that works from my computer, and I remember when i use to watch GG's at 11am, 1pm, 4pm, 9pm, and again at 1am. Then all of a suddenly it went from like 6 times a day to 2 times a day, and now none. I hate reality shows. Thats the one best thing I loved about LifeTime. Now thats ruined. Yeah I agree with everyone else. I guess now I will have to find another channel to watch. That will suck if Golden Girls get put on Hallmark, because I don't get it; but I guess I will have to purchase that channel now because Golden Girls are worth it.

Once again I am disappointed in Lifetime's treatment of the Girls! I am glad that I am not the only one. I have been watching this show for almost my entire life, as a kid and now as an adult with the reruns! Get rid of Wife Swap...who wants to watch that? Reba can go...they show that entirely too much. BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This network is awful! Shame on you lifetime!!U never listen to viewers!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, like everyone else I miss my G-girls. I wake up with them in the morning and miss them in the afternoon. It does not matter how many times you have watched them. It is just darn good television. Reality shows stink right along with dressing the same person over and over. Till you bring back our GIRLS I will be watching other channels and I wouldn't mind seeing the GIRLS on the weekends too! Please bring back our GOLDEN GIRLS!!!

Ok, don't put Golden Girls on at 4pm, put it on at 5 or 6, that fits better to my schedule anyway. What was Lifetime thinking putting Wife Swap on. There are still folks out here that enjoy the good old comedies and not this annoying reality junk. Why can't you stick to the things that work. Golden Girls is enjoyed by all age groups and it's tv from the years that tv was truly funny and entertaining. Lifetime, please rethink this change and put Golden Girls back on in the afternoon. It gave me a great way to wind down from the day before I had to go cook dinner and run errands. AMERICA WANTS THE GOLDEN GIRLS!!!!!!!!

I am 23 years old. Ever since I was 16 years old sick in the hospital. I have always watched Golden Girls on your channel. It went from being on 6 times a day. To only once a day at 4pm. So everyday no matter what I was doing I would stop and watch Golden Girls. Now you guys took off Golden Girls to put on a stupid show called Wife Swap. Ok thats fine, but hell couldn't you have got rid of an hor of something else like Still Standing? and put Wife Swap in that time line? I mean Still standing is not that great. Couldn't something be changed about this? I just am out raged that Golden Girls have been taken off. Could you guys just please try to find a way to put it back on? Pllleeasee. Golden Girls is the only show in the world that I get excited and can't wait to watch, and I am always watching it with a smile on my face. All I ask is to please put it back on. Theres soo many shows that play like 2-3 hours out of the day. It wouldn't hurt to just take an hour out of one of those other shows to put back in Golden Girls. Also why was Golden Girls taken off? I am sorry I typed so much. I didn't mean to, but ty for your time. You guys should really read the comments. You seem to have ****ed alot of lifetime fans off.

Of all the shows you could have put on at 1AM, the Golden Girls should NOT have been one of them. Do us all a favor and put Wife Swap on at 1AM and put the Golden Girls back where they belong, in the 4-5pm slot.

Everyday at 4pm I would sit down to watch "my girls." Now, some IDIOT has ruined my afternoon. Please move Wife Swap to, well, any place else. I hate it. I am really fed up with Lifetime putting on all the these rediculous REALITY shows. PLEASE, PLEASE, put the Golden Girls back on at 4PM!! We really, really love and miss them!!!

thank you LADIES. i thought i was alone on this WIFETIME TV thing. i can't stand it. i LOVE the Golden Girls and have my life set to watch them at 9A, 4P, and even push to hang at 1A EVERYday. Lifetime started with The Golden Girls and is the exclusive network that airs them. They have been the reason I am loyalty to the network.

With this new line UP i have kept my word and turned the channel at 4P. i watch Monk on USA. so, if they don't care, keep Wife Swap on and give another network an opportunity to air the Golden Girls. thank you... GG fan for LIFE!!!!

the line UP was almost perfect:
8A - The Nanny
9A The Golden Girls
10A Frasier and Will & Grace could be replaced at 11A by the Golden Girls.

we know it's the same ole shows, but we LOVE them.

Not everyone likes reality shows that are not very real. It was nice to have the golden girls and the nanny to watch. I am so sick of reality shows and refuse to watch them. I thought lifetime might be one channel that was smart enough not to air them, but guess i was wrong. Wake up Lifetime - do us all a favor and give us back the funny shows we like and not the reality garbage we can get on every other channel.
