According to the Hallmark Drama schedule...

Considering the name of the network, a bit odd, no?

Somewhat "network decay"-ish, if you ask me.

Isn't Hallmark one of the stations that flashes ads on the screen virtually every second? Not to mention cutting several minutes out of the show for more commercials.

It's unwatchable.

It seems weird that The Brady Bunch, Happy Days & Cheers being absorb into Hallmark Drama’s Schedule because those 3 classic shows are sitcoms

icecream · 10-08-2020, 12:44 PM

Today's blog confirmed it. I wish Cheers was switched with The Golden Girls on Hallmark's main channel. 11PM is a good time for Cheers, but Hallmark Drama is not available in Fort Wayne like the other two Hallmarks. Happy Days deserves better than 1AM, too bad it won't air in afternoons on Hallmark instead of their multitude of original movie crap. Frasier deserves better than 1AM as well, but it has been stuck there for awhile.

Merry24 · 10-08-2020, 01:43 PM

Hallmark channel should consider this...

4AM-5AM Cheers
5AM-6AM Frasier

9AM-10AM The Golden Girls

Friday’s & Saturday’s
1AM-2AM The Brady Bunch

7AM-8AM The Brady Bunch
8AM-9AM Happy Days
9AM-10AM I Love Lucy

The Brady Bunch is probably free for them to air.

tenter · 10-08-2020, 04:32 PM

this is weird for sitcoms to air on hallmark drama channel, shouldve gone with regular hallmark channel..

robyrob · 10-08-2020, 09:48 PM

maybe they're gonna load up on "a very special" episodes

mets82 · 10-08-2020, 11:43 PM

I wonder why they are airing on Hallmark Drama. Those shows are not drama shows. Plus, the times they are on leave a lot to be desired. I want to see Happy Days but I don't think I'll stay up to 1am to watch it even though I'm usually up.

Yeah, you got it. Plus they pre-empt their schedule for what seems half the year to show Christmas movies, also loaded with screen ads.

Although an over the air network, Decades now airs Cheers at 11pm. Not that Hallmark couldn't also air it. I think both feTV (cable) and Antenna (over the air) still run Father Knows Best at the same time, every morning.

As for Hallmark Drama, it is available on frndlyTV ($8/month plan includes DVR) or Philo ($20/month plan includes DVR) for those who can't get it on cable.

I was hoping Hallmark would pick up Laverne & Shirley and Facts of Life from Logo. Actually I don't think Logo still airs Facts of Life.

It is odd for the Hallmark Drama to pick up sitcoms. Maybe it will be renamed.

Also, wasn't it that Brady Bunch is missing one season on CBS All Access or Hulu? Anyone record I Love Lucy, or one of the sitcoms from Hallmark and compare if episodes missing from Hulu are run on Hallmark?

The Facts of Life airs 7 days a week in good slots on Antenna TV. It is not needed on Hallmark, their channels can be really trigger happy with their shows.

Hallmark is a subscription cable channel, while Antenna is an over the air digitnet, so they have different distribution. If I recall, Dish Network, DirecTV and the streaming services don't have Antenna TV.

And if you apply that logic, than Hallmark shouldn't run Frasier, because Cozi runs it. Same with Little House on the Prairie. And The Waltons should be off Hallmark Drama because MeTV airs it.

mets82 · 10-10-2020, 11:46 PM

On a side note, Hallmark edits the hell out of I Love Lucy. I'll be honest, I kind of don't mind the ads and whatnot on Hallmark. I mean there bad but I've seen worse.
