Christmas on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries channel

Hallmark Channel itself rolled the hohoho crap out this weekend. For God's sakes can we get through HALLOWEEN first? In fact, I don't go into ho-ho-ho mode in our house until after Santa makes his Macy's parade arrival on Thanksgiving morning...

I think they've always started the weekend before Halloween in recent years.

Not many men watch Hallmark.

I used to watch when they had reruns of MASH and Cheers. It's kind of like I'll watch Lifetime when they have reruns of King of Queens now, but that probably won't happen again until after Christmas, or possibly even New Year's.`
 
They shoot in Canada because it's cheaper. While they probably hire Canadian actors as extras, they quite often bring in US celebrities for their movies.

However the Hallmark movie Christmas At Graceland was shot in Memphis. Or at least the exteriors were shot there.
E list celebrates don't count.

I was watching a movie on Lifetime and I swear the actors were not in SAG. I don't even think the production was union. It looks liked a bad rescan off of a video. The framerate was off and it looked like it was shot on VHS.

But there are a lot of people like my wife who will watch the Christmas movies on Hallmark and Lifetime from when they start until they end after Christmas or New Year's, so they must be paying off for them. In fact I got these for her last year: https://www.amazon.com/Tulas-Watchi...8&hvtargid=aud-801738734305:pla-1008130032392
 


And I know three women in my family who already had their DVrs set to record all the movies. (Keyword: Women)

And DVR's are the greatest invention ever. You can record everything and anything, and digitally delete it just as fast. Which is what I mostly do. I only save movies that I want to watch much later, but sometimes they sit for months. But that is the beauty. Choices.
 
It appears that Up TV has started Christmas movies this weekend as well, but not for the entire schedule yet.

Now that we're coming up on Thanksgiving I think it's time for Planes Trains and Automobiles. IFC, Sundance, and BBC America had it last month (Too early) , but I haven't seen it listed anywhere else yet. But at least I was able to DVR it then.

PTA was supposedly scheduled on the Paramount Channel last Sunday, but it was either replaced with something else and canceled on my DVR, or the DVR recording failed somehow. But it's scheduled for Comedy Central on Thanksgiving afternoon.

Yes, unfortunately they have; I would think they could at least wait until a day or so after Thanksgiving and not overshadow that holiday.

Missing my Matlock and Diagnosis Murder and Columbo on the Hallmark M&M channel! :(

And don't forget Jesse Stone.
