I love the Hallmark Channel movies but I am disheartened to see the same movies shown over-and-over again. What is the point of this?

Seriously, I love Hallmark channels! But, whoever makes the decisions on the themes of the movies accepted, really needs to get out of the city. I for one have had about all of the wedding planner, chef/restaurant, ceo types I can handle. There is a a great big country outside the city that Hallmark seldom ever visits.

Hallmark seriously needs to get with the times on racial diversity! Thirteen percent of America is black. I doubt if .03 percent of your characters are black with no lead roles. It is straight-up shameful at your lack of racial diversity.

Am I the only that has noticed the edited versions after the primary showing? Not all shows but some have had kool parts edited out and it is rather irritating. If you must make room for more advertisements at least give us a place to see the pre edited show.

Really like the type of family shows, but find it hard to believe that there are no minorities. So sad to not see someone that looks like me. Father God made his children in many colors, ethnic groups and nationalites.
What a diverse old we live in. What actually is this channel portraying, that only white people are capable of love, romance, morals, values, and family relationships.
Every once in while a minority pops up in a movie, but not a series such as "Good Witch". This is a travesty in 2016.

I am so sick of your "cookie cutter" movies. Mostly murder movies. Isn't there enough real violence and murder in the world today? So why do you constantly air these negative movies, all in the name of "mysteries". Another show that is aired all the time is MURDER SHE WROTE. That show currently airs on at least 3 networks that I am aware of, and always you are calling it a marathon. Really? Why can you not procure some of the really nice family shows, the comedy shows of the 60's - 80's where there was real decency. Who wants to sit back and watch shows that are demoralizing, inappropriate for families, and using language that is NOT necessary to be funny. You know what I mean. I, for one, do not want these kind of shows shoved down my throat.

How about airing " The Nanny", Three's Company... for example. We all NEED TO LAUGH more and leave the murders to network news shows, should one WANT to watch it.

I turned on the TV and to my surprise Karen Kingsbury's The Bridge "Part 2" was play (5/26/16). It was in the middle so I looked to see if it was playing again... a replay is not on the schedule! That completely surprised me and unfortunately annoyed me; I have watched at over 10 of each Golden Girls episodes and yet no replay of a great movie you have received praises over. How does that happen? And, if you replay it how are we supposed to know? It was not supposed to come out until later and I didn't even see any advertisements. I love the channel, however I am very disappointed over this one. I truly hope you read these and consider them.

WHY after all this time and complaints, has nothing been done about the too loud, obnoxious "background" music during your movies? Please remedy this problem, I know I am one of many people annoyed with this, to the point of opting for a different channel.

Hello
I just finished watching an episode of Columbo and was surprised that you cut out the most important
part of the ending. The episode was "Dagger of The Mind" and it aired on Tuesday May 24th 2016.
At the end we see a pearl drop out of the victim's umbrella and then Richard Basehart and Honor Blackman
admit to the murder. What you cut out and did not show was after that when Columbo flicked a pearl into the
umbrella with his finger which ultimately fooled them causing them to admit the murder.

I would very much appreciate you not cutting out essential material of a great show, just for time, so you can
show more commercials. It does not make for a good entertainment channel, or a good company for that matter.

I love watching The Hallmark Channel and mystery movies. However, I have never seen a movie or series that pictured any other people other than white people. I think of the 87 million people that have your channel in their package a large portion of those viewers are of color. Therefore, I would think that you would want to show occasionally a movie that was not predominantly white.

We love, cry, have fun, have strong relationships with family and friends just like anyone else. I really do hope that you reconsider your stance on movies just featuring whites.

I love the movies and series Hallmark channel puts forth. It currently is my favorite channel as it is very family friendly unlike all the other channels. Even the commercials are of family viewing quality and I hope that it remains so. Unfortunately, I did see one commercial that was somewhat borderline. The commercial showed a flimsily dressed woman, albeit a cartoon-like character, that displayed inappropriate behavior for young watchers. It was a Heidi Klum - Macy's commercial and was shown while the Promposal movie was being shown. Sure do hope that Hallmark is not lowering its standards to be like all the other channels.

I keep waiting and still it has not come back. The viewers were told "not to worry that the show was returning after Christmas" - that was 2015! It is now May, 2016!!! Very disappointed. In fact, I upgraded the Hallmark channel for the Waltons because my cable provider does not include the channel in the standard package. Time to cancel. I've waiting long enough.

Don't understand why you cancelled Cedar Cove.
Loved the actors and story lines.
Any chance of it coming back?
Very disappointing.

A sad viewer.

I am a person who grew up with Little House on the Prairie and it bothers me how Hallmark doesn't play all of the episodes of every season. They tend to skip around the shows and the audience miss part of the important story line. This bothers me a lot because one day home Laura and Almonzo have their normal home but then all of a sudden they have a new one the next episode, and the episodes that they skip show a very important to the story line. So please Hallmark, play all of the episodes to the audience gets the full story. As well as playing at the movies that came after and before the series. Thank you.

I Love Hallmark Channel. Being a hopeless Romantic & a women of mixed heritage, it concerns me that year after year, Hallmark fails use people of various enthic backgrounds in their story lines. Love in itself encompasses an array of cultures, environments, languages, skin tones, sizes and experiences. Your current lineup of stars is great but I would love to see the African American, Indian, and Asian sides of my heritage the focal point of your wonderful Romances.

I thoroughly enjoy you station however do you need to show Murder She Wrote every night for hours on end? I would love to see you do that with all the shows especially Hart to Hart. I don't like staying up until three in the morning to watch and one just doesn't get the same kick recording and viewing later. Alternate the marathons.

I enjoy the Hallmark Channel. It's my comfort TV apart from the drama & violence of network TV. That being said, I have been disturbed with what I have seen on Last Man Standing. Each time I have caught an episode, they have used it as a political platform to bash and disrespect the President, his associates, etc. If it were an adult cable channel that would be different, but presenting it as 'family entertainment' is simply hypocritical. Certainly not the sort of things I would like my children to hear.

There is a lack of diversity in lead characters on the Hallmark network. I paid extra to see your mystery shows and think they are great but lack Spanish, African American, Asian and etc. I am a African American women who loves the lord first and family second. I understand the need to promote family. However, you should focus on all families of every color. I plan on cancelling my subscription if there is no change. I hate to do it. But I would like there to be a fair and true representation of our world. I think I will stop buying hallmark cards as well.

For years, until last year, Hallmark had a wonderful "Christmas in July" schedule & lime-up. Now, it's during 4th of July with chopped programming. It's horrible & not the same as originally established. The older Hallmark movies & classics are still loved, not to be compared to the newer movies. Yet, some of the newer movies are not as good as the older movies still enjoyed by the Hallmark viewers, including our family. We hope to see changes back to the excellent programming provided until the last few years.

I am admittedly a Hallmark movie junkie, having seen many of them multiple times. But even I, being white, am stunned that there continues to be no movies starring wonderful, beautiful, talented people of color... THOSE PEOPLE WHO MAKE UP THE WORLD WE LIVE IN. I work and live among them every day, and my life is enriched for it. I know there are individuals and groups in your audience who don't like change; they want the safe, small, homogenous, familiar world they grew up in to protect them. I understand that dynamic but it's just not the way things are. The world has opened up and changed, and it's ignorant and unkind to ignore the special and valuable people who have become this country. Don't stand out in a negative way: be a leader for positive change.

When did the Halmark Channel become a Comedy Weeknight series? The Walton's show was a promise to come back. Never did! Now the Last Man Standing is viewing every night. What a JOKE! Too bad you have to go so low to take away a Family Show.

I am interested in knowing about the Canadian TV series Heartland. Is there ever going to be a time when the Hallmark channel begins to show this series? It was forever on the UP channel and was dropped at season #9. We Heartlanders miss the show and feel it would be a good fit to air on the Hallmark channel. Any chance that may happen?

This is my second time writing to you about the lack of diversity in your movies. Are you a racist network?why don't you send a reply to the complaints? I'm not the only one who feels this way.

I am guessing that no one really reads these complaints, but I am going to try anyway. I really wish that your movies were not so white. I have NEVER seen a black lead in any of them. Every now and then, a Hallmark Channel movie will have a token sidekick or best friend. But I would like, for once, to see a black leading character. Believe it or not, black actors are just as enthralling and capable as white actors. Really. And you would expand your audience -- and your profits -- if you gave it a try. Just one black lead character to start with, and you can throw in a white best friend! It's not that revolutionary or radical. There are lots of us black folk out here channel surfing. Maybe we will stop at the Hallmark Channel, if we see someone who looks like us in the lead. Come on. Give it a try. EBC

I truly enjoy all the Hallmark channel movies. It occurred to me that is I watch many of them, however even though it's basically the same type of story line, it would really be more interesting if some of the leads were people of color or other ethnicities. Can you please include some percentage of movies featuring people of other races or ethnicities?

Isn't it suppose to be background music? I don't understand, why, after all these years
there has been nothing done.
You have wonderful movies!
But half the time, I'm trying to hear voices over
music!
I get music is recorded elsewhere, but surely
It is suppose to be background music!
So please MAKE it BACKGROUND MUSIC!

Dear Hallmark Channel,

I'm finding it too hard to enjoy your programming anymore. At the end of the day, I like to unwind with Golden Girls and Frasier. However, for every five minutes of a show, there are five or six minutes of commercials that follow. It feels so choppy and rushed. I am now watching TCM channel or PBS since there are no commercials. Please, less commercial overload and I will tune in again.

Thank you for listening.
