Attention Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

With these Christmas movies. I can understand showing them everyday but not 24-7. I mean they started this back on Nov. 1!! I mean its sickening now. They should have there regular schedule and have the movies in primetime or something. To have the ENTIRE schedule for 2 months full of Christmas movies is annoying!!!

I mean I'm sick of the movies and its not even Christmas yet. Anybody agree or disagree??

They've been doing this several years unfortunately. It's movie overload every November and December, none of their tv shows airing.

I like Christmas movies as much as anyone but I agree that to run them morning noon and night nonstop for 2 months straight is WAYYY too much

The reason Hallmark goes into Holiday overload with 24/7 Christmas movies for two full months is to hype up sales at it's stores. It's just crass commercialism, plain and simple. Pretty soon they will be beating this horse to death beginning at Labor Day.

there is way to much I agree with that,they show the same ol movies over and over and no variety its crazy,wish they show variety of them like some sicomes to months is bit to much though

You,re not being forced to watch you can change the channel.

The solution here is very simple. If you don't like Hallmark's programming, send them a card! I would pick something like this for 2015:

sorry I can't stand any hall mark movies she used to date guy back in high school then they find each other they bub into each other or find each other on the net then they go out on date then he's getting married so the girl goes after the guy but then he breaks off the marriage goes with the girl hall mark movies are basically the same movie over and over aging I did like the reading room a lot. I really don't like chick flicks much either

You're right. Even the Christmas movies are like their regular movies. A woman tries to get away from her past and moves to a small town. She meets a man. They fight their attraction throughout the movie. Finally they get together. Then they celebrate around the tree and live happily ever after. I'm sick of those movies. I like Christmas movies about Santa Claus and the North Pole. I can watch a romance movie anytime if I want. I miss Lucy in the mornings!

Someone would seriously have to pay me to sit through a movie like that.

What if the movie starred Lindsay Lohan and Bill Cosby? I would watch it!

Too funny! That would be a horror movie.

Their Christmas movies are way too schmaltzy and formulaic. Either someone's getting married and he or she meet another person who is actually their ONE TRUE LOVE and they end up ditching the other just in time to have that perfect Christmas engagement/wedding. Or someone moves back to their hometown to save their family's business or start over and fall in love with a friend they snubbed years ago. Or a kid wise beyond their years tries to set up their single parent with a really good love interest but the parent would rather date the town jerk.

There's a reason the Christmas movies I watch are Silent Night, Deadly Night and Black Christmas, because they are none of the above!

mets82 · 12-19-2014, 05:27 PM

Not only that but another common theme is that they leave the big city to live on a farm or a small town. I mean out of all the movies that they show there are probably about 3 or 4 that'll watch.

Hallmark Channel: Please bring back "Home Improvement" for January/February!!!
