Not by most people, I don't think. Just because it was set during a war doesn't automatically make it drama. Sure they had the rare ep that was quite sad, but it is still considered to be a sitcom.

I don't like the Hallmark channel either. They play too many dramas and westerns during the week, if you ask me. I liked it better when they had more variety which included some sitcoms such as Happy Days, Bewitched, ALF, I Dream of Jeannie, ect.
I don't see why they don't air sitcoms they already have during their weekday schedule: Gilligan's Island, The Facts of Life, The Beverly Hillbillies, Hogan's Heroes, ect. Why acquire them when you hardly play them?

Actually, when it first began, it was VISN ("the Vision Interfaith Satellite Network"), and it showed all religious programming.

I remember seeing it listed as VISN way back when, but what I meant was that I thought the channel was better when Hallmark first started in 2001 than it is now.

If ALF and Hart to Hart were re-added to the schedule though, I'd totally tune back into Hallmark

I have a better solution for you, Solomon. Take your remote, go to the menu and do this...

I did it with all the religious and sports channels here.

I'm not able to do that with my remote. But i know i can change the channel, my point was that Comcast sent info in the mail about Hallmark being added to the service like it was a channel with entertaining programs.

i hate it when they (Time Warner is good at doing this) hype up all these new channels they are adding to you basic service and lower programming tiers, then they go and boost up your rates, whether you want any of the new channels or not

Solomon all cable co.'s send out things about new channels, if ours hadn't when they added some, I probably wouldn't have even knew they added them.

They only send it out when it's a channel you have no use for?-LOL I found out by a accident that Comcast added 8 new sports channels and guess what , i never received any info about those channels and i had them for 5 months.
