The Hallmark Channel's "Countdown to Christmas" starts October 31. Am I the only person that loathes this tradition? I don't like it because the original movies tend to be super lame ("Fir Crazy" - seriously?) and they remove all their other programs off the schedule.

The only shows I watch on Hallmark Channel are "The Waltons" and "Little House on the Prairie," but still....playing Christmas movies for almost 2 months is a bit much, don't you think? Ba humbug!

Hallmark Mysteries & Movies has Murder, She Wrote on hiatus until January so they can air these lame movies. :mad: I'm not a happy camper.

It's on "Mysteries & Movies" too??? I don't get that channel so I didn't know. Oh my goodness! That makes it even worst. :mad:

I don't have cable (still holding that grudge against them) but Hallmark might as well play that Marlo Thomas version of It's a Wonderful Life!

I might be the only one, but I like the Hallmark movies. It's nice to see they are showing Christmas movies. Not everyone is into watching all the Halloween movies.

It would be nice if they could keep some of there regular programming in addition to airing the Christmas movies.

At least it's not one more channel that is airing all Halloween stuff.

Last night I saw that Hallmark was airing some movie called A Boyfriend For Christmas. I had to stop to think how much money someone would have to pay me to get me to watch it. The figure that I came up with was $500. No, I'm not kidding.

Based on the title alone I think you're being too generous. :lol:

It's on "Mysteries & Movies" too??? I don't get that channel so I didn't know. Oh my goodness! That makes it even worst. :mad:

Bad enough that it's on the Hallmark channel! Extending it to the Movies & Mysteries channel?! Even worse!

I agree! Too early! It's like they rushed and made these movies in a couple of days.:rolleyes:

My favorite Hallmark Christmas movie is "A Season For Miracles"(1999) It was a Hallmark Hall Of Fame presentation. It had a stellar cast . Carla Gugino, Mae Whitman, Laura Dern, Patty Duke, Lynn Redgrave, Kathy Baker, Faith Prince and David Conrad.

These rush jobs that Hallmark is churning out don't measure up at all! As someone said; LAME!:rolleyes:

If you haven't seen "A Season For Miracles" I highly recommend it!:candle:

I don't know what's worse, these Christmas movies or the ridiculous mystery movies such as Murder She Baked (A Chocolate Chip Cookie Mystery) & Garage Sale Mystery. Alison Sweeney and Lori Loughlin must be desperate for money. :rolleyes:

Oh yes, the Hallmark Hall of Fame Movies are wonderful. I've seen "A Season For Miracles" several times. I also like "The Magic of Ordinary Days" and "The Sarah, Plain and Tall" Collection too. But, these Hallmark Channel TV movies are awful. I'm glad some people find joy in them, but I do not. I guess I'll have to invest in "Little House" DVDs.

If you haven't seen "A Season For Miracles" I highly recommend it!:candle:

Airing 11/1, 5am & 5pm ET, on the aforementioned movies and mystery channel.

My mom is 81 and the Hallmark Channel is her favorite and Christmas is her favorite holiday, so right now she is loving it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one!!! What a joke Hallmark Channel is. The only one that I actually watched was Home Alone. I was pretty aggravated by this. I mean they are starting already???!!! At least wait until after Thanksgiving. Geez.

The one I saw Last night on Hallmark was The Nine Lives of Christmas with Superman Returns Brandon Routh. It wasn't that good but I watched it anyway. Tonight it was Tori Spelling in a version of Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol. And that was worse. Man those people can not act lol......

I keep hoping they will play classics like the Christmas Box with Richard Thomas and Maureen O'Hara' I love that movie. and then there is Always Remember I love you. With Patty Duke. Don't know if that's a xmas one, but I like it alot anyway. A season for Miracles is a nice one too. But I have that one on video.

I have The Christmas Box and Always Remember I Love You and A Season For Miracles all on dvd. I watch them every Christmas! All three are wonderful and so much better than these movies they are churning out so quickly. It would be fine if they ran these movies only during prime time instead of all day. It gets to be a bit too much!:rolleyes:

I for one love a good cheesy Christmas movie.

I wish they'd wait until after Thanksgiving to show the Christmas films myself.

I for one love a good cheesy Christmas movie.

Me too, that's why I don't watch the Hallmark Channel Christmas movies.

I watched A Cookie Cutter Christmas (2014). :)
