* WorkingTitle: As mentioned on the main page, Lifetime quite often changes the titles of its movies, usually to something more sensationalistic and eye-catching, before they hit air. The filmmakers themselves aren't always thrilled about this. In one [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1u0Tu8V8y0 podcast interview]], Creator/DougCampbell specifically mentions how much he hated Lifetime bestowing titles like ''Film/DirtyTeacher'' (originally ''High School Crush'') and ''Double Mommy'' on his movies.
