For years I thought the Cheryl Ladd thriller Lisa was a TV Movie and it was an actual film!

I still remember when Siskel & Ebert reviewed the movie on their show. IIRC, they spent most of the time questioning who was the movie even made for, lol.

It's funny how USA went from being one of the trashiest networks on cable to one of the most earnest (WWE programming notwithstanding), while Lifetime and LMN went from being progressive "women's networks" to the new destination for the most regressive "women-in-peril" movies out there.

Talk of the more earnest and progressive era of Lifetime reminded me of Baby Cakes starring Ricki Lake. I could have sworn it was a Lifetime original but the internet tells me it was a CBS tv movie.

Speaking of movies made for USA ... I would watch the hell out of Tap Pant Desire.

One of the weirdest coincidences is that the four prominent actresses who played Tracy from Hairspray followed it up up with a body positivity TV-movie.

Ricki Lake -- Babycakes

Marissa Jaret Winokur -- Beautiful Girl

Nikki Blonsky -- Queen Sized

Maddie Baillio -- Dumplin'
