Ok, so on Saturday night I saw the most awesome movie on Lifetime--yes, television for women, but it was awesome. It starred Joanna Kerns, Maggie Seaver from Growing Pains as this ritzy snotty mother to Christine Elyse who was on a couple of episodes of 90210 as the chick that made Brandon do X and also burned down the homecoming float everyone else helped build, which is cool in and of itself. So, anyway, Joanna is really overbearing and wants the best for her daughter and stuff, but the daughter falls in love with Grant Show from Melrose Place and JK doesn't think he is good enough for her daughter. She tries a couple of things to get the daughter to stop dating him, including pretending he assaulted her, when really she had just had her eyes done and she also went to the IRS and tried to get him audited. None of this worked, so she ended up talking to her carpet cleaning man who was on parole to see if he knew anyone who could kill her son-in-law. He said ok, so they set it all up. Meanwhile, the daughter got married to Grant Show and they had a baby. So, the hired killers go in and kill Grant Show although the real twist was that the killer was a police officer and they just faked the murder to trick Joanna Kerns. She ended up getting arrested and all was well after that. It was awesome! Especially to see Mrs. Seaver be so outrageously evil. Seriously, great television.
