FALL 2013: LIFETIME CANCELS 'ARMY WIVES'

Lifetime's long-running series, Army Wives, has gotten its final orders to ride into the sunset. The network has decided to cancel the drama after seven seasons. Army Wives was Lifetime's longest running original series that followed four Army wives, one Army husband, and their families. It was considered a sleeper hit that obtained a loyal fan base and following, and increased Lifetime's viewership in the show's time slot. The seventh and final season had already wrapped in June but the network is prepping a two-hour retrospective special to air sometime in 2014. The cast is scheduled to appear in the special.

WACKY WEDNESDAY! 'FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC' REMAKE NEWS

We're always on the lookout for Made-for-TV movies that jump out at us and this piece of news not only jumped out but also slapped us silly with anticipation. Fans of V.C. Andrews series of books made popular in the late '70s and '80s will likely remember reading Flowers in the Attic. In case you forgot we'll give you a brief rundown of the novel. The young mom is widowed with four kids and moves into her parents' house after her father's death. Well the mom's mom (a.k.a. Grandma) freaks out about a secret and locks the four children in the attic. While imprisoned in the attic the oldest boy and the girl develop a "special" relationship. Yeah it was some pretty racy stuff for the era.

The Lifetime network is spearheading the production and has already lined up Heather Graham and Ellen Burstyn to portray mother and grandmother, Corinne and Olivia. No information was provided on when the movie is scheduled to premiere.

Fans might remember that a movie based on the V.C. Andrews novel was released in 1987, which was received with mixed reviews. We have included that movie's original trailer to help viewers with the gist of the story.
