The Hallmark Channel

How I loathe the Hallmark Channel that my wife watches. Thorough vapid, maudlin movies. Most seem to follow the same formula: Gorgeous Woman is engaged to a hard-working businessman; she needs to go "back home" to take care of her family's failing ranch (or orchard or bookstore or vineyard); meets and bickers with a local Handsome Hunk; then the Gorgeous Woman and Handsome Hunk fall in love and save the business. Occasionally they have a theme where the Gorgeous Woman travels to a fictitious European country (where they all have English accents), and she falls in love with the Handsome Prince.

Then there are the insipid "Christmas" movies that they show from late October through December… and also in July ("Christmas in July", they call it). Despite the fact that the Hallmark Channel has its roots as a religious channel, they have turned Christmas from a religious holy day to a sacrilegious romance. One scene that stood out was where they showed couples romantically dancing to Silent Night.

At least, since Lori Loughlin charged with various crimes, they don't show her movies anymore. But then they have movie after movie with Lacey Chabert… I don't know what is more annoying, her nasal voice or that fact that her face has so much makeup that she must apply it with a plastering trowel.

And now .................          The Hallmark channel is showing Christmas shows already..................

And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN And AGAIN

I understand that Christmas is their busy season.........................But do we really to to be reminded about it THIS EARLY ?????

Maybe they should start calling it The HELLmark Channel.

^  Don't forget Valerie Bertinelli who, I assume, is now playing Grandma in all those flicks.

Oh that's nothing. Hallmark Movies & Mysteries went to 24/7 Xmas crap around the 19th of October. It's earlier EVERY SINGLE YEAR. No love for Frasier! No love for the other sitcom reruns! Just crappy Christmas movies from the cookie-cutter Hallmark film factory. None of them old, and none of them classic.

I see the Lifetime Channel is now on the act (showing sappy romantic Christmas movies well outside the Christmas season).

But I suppose this is marginally better than the stuff that they used to show: incessant movies showing an Innocent Woman who is confronted by an Evil Man who is a cheater/manipulator/stalker/alcoholic/abuser/rapist/murderer.

Thanks for sharing...………

December 30th and still playing Christmas S__T. Time for Hallmark to buy more channel space, place all the holiday stuff on there 24/7/365 and put Frasier and other sitcoms back on post-Xmas.

Thank you for saving me the trouble of typing.  It's like you're able to read my mind!!< id="BFI_" style="width: 1px; height: 1px; display: none;">
