‘Army Wives’ is a smash-hit television program for the Lifetime network. Debuting on June 3, 2007, to the highest series premiere ratings in the twenty-three year history of the network, ‘Army Wives’ follows the stories of four women whose husbands are overseas employed in the army.
It also focuses on one ‘army husband’, whose wife is away fighting. The cast includes Kim Delaney of ‘NYPD Blue’, Catherine Bell, formerly of ‘Jag’, and Brian McNamara, whose lengthy list of television credits include ‘The Suite Life of Zack and Cody’ and ‘Murphy Brown’, among many others.
The show recently ended its second season in November, and plans for a third season are tentatively set for a June 2009 premiere. The show is far and away Lifetime’s most successful and popular program. ‘Army Wives’ has probably garnered so much positive feedback for the network because of the fact that the show presents a different side of the issues than we are usually accustomed to seeing on television.
Rarely have we been given a snapshot into the emotions that go along with having a husband (or wife) over fighting in the Middle East, but with this program, the emphasis on the loved ones left behind in America provides for an interesting look into the drama that goes on for them. The show is based on the book Under the Sabers: The Unwritten Code of Army Wives, so it is at least based in some kind of non-fiction background. ‘Army Wives’ is an important glimpse into a side of the issues we usually are not familiar to seeing, and that is arguably what has helped make it so successful.
