I'm a little amazed at how much you know about Lifetime. And when I say amazed, I mean scared. Hee. Who's the little TV nerd?

And hey, don't knock CBS: They gave us Joan of Arcadia ;)
Yet I have no doubt that they're the reason it took such a nose-dive creatively in the second season. And then promptly canceled it when their tinkering caused it to become unrecognizable to even its most adoring fans, thereby causing the ratings to TANK.

Ah-HA! That was their evil plan ALL ALONG. Bastages.
