The Waltons

I agree with previous complaints about the Christmas movie marathon. The end of October thru the end of December is too much. I just had to watch other stations during that time period. I am a big fan of your station but I enjoy your regular evening line-up.

I am extremely disappointed that The Waltons is no longer airing in the evenings so it can be watched after school and work. Please consider your loyal "regular" fans. The Waltons is one of the most wholesome series ever presented and it is a privilege for new generations to be able to view a real family series. Last Man Standing is just not cutting the mustard.

Please bring back the Waltons to your evening line-up - your true fans never get tired of it.

Thank you.

The Bridge

Hallmark,

What you did with the movie was inexcusable. You never said it was a two part movie, but to show part two ONE YEAR LATER was CRUEL,DECEVING and HEARTBREAKING.
They showed clips from part Two so I'm guessing they filmed the whole movie. I can understand showing part two the following week, but ONE YEAR LATER INEXCUSABLE.
WHY did do this terrible travesty to us many viewers.
I had to get the book after the movie to see what happened. Very Good, but WHY ONE YEAR LATER????
Getting the book was a wait because so many wanted to know what happened.
PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE show us part two NOW.
If you any other movies coming up please no two part a year apart.
I probably will NOT watch any more movies because of this.
Whoever decided to do this should be FIRED!!! What POOR decisions. SHAME on Hallmark!!!

Lack of Diversity

I am an avid Hallmark Channel watcher. It is refreshing to have the luxury to watch a romance movie with your family. However, I am deeply concerned at the lack of an African American in a leading role for Hallmark romance movies. My young daughter noticed this, and asked why is it that she never sees brown girls like her in love in one of the movies. I couldn't answer that question. So I now ask you Hallmark, why is it that I have yet to see an African American in a leading-not supporting-role of one of your romance movies? Why is it that Brooke Shields is hired for a mystery series but for some reason, a woman of color is not hired for a leading mystery series? It is as if you're saying, that we do not love, or have no concept of love or family. I would argue that we too fall head over heels, romantically, sappy, rosy, in love just like anyone else. We value family. We share the same feelings. So please stop marginalizing us and indicating through your countless romance movies that there is no variety in love. Love is diverse! It comes in many shapes, sizes, and YES ethnicities and cultures. We live in a heavily diverse country. It would be great if your channels began to reflect that. We exist, we love, we hurt, and we triumph too. Can you not see that?

Sincerely,
A concerned viewer

Where are the Waltons?

The Waltons was just about the nicest family series ever created. I watched it diligently every evening possible. The the
perpetual Christmas movies pushed it off the air. Don't get me wrong...I am a Christian and love Christmas. But repeating them over and over and over is just too much for 3 whole months! Please! What were you thinking???? Enough already!
PELISSE bring back the WATONS! I see I am not the only one who feels this way!

Maybe if we all start emailing the director of programming for the Hallmark Channel, they will listen to what people want. Which is the Walton's to return to the Hallmark Channel, like they promised before the Christmas movies began on October 31, 2015. This is the email address [email protected]. God Bless You All!!

You Broke Your Word

While I'm not a fan of the Christmas movies from October thru the end of December; I am however, a big fan of The Waltons. Your station assured us that The Waltons would return on January 4th. What happened Hallmark? On January 4th I gleefully turned on the television to enjoy one of our most beloved shows and I'm looking at Tim Allen on the screen in some kind of second rate, half assed attempt at entertaining? Words cannot adequately express my disappointment.

I have three questions. 1. Which feeble minded individual in an attempt to justify their paycheck decided to remove such a quality program as The Waltons with such drivel as Last Man Standing? 2. Why would you lie to your viewers? 3. Would you please put The Waltons back on immediately?

Please listen to your viewers before you have no viewers left.

G.T.L.

Waltons

I'M TOTALLY DISSAPOINTED WITH THE HALLMARK CHANNEL! FROM OCTOBER THRU DECEMBER ALL YOU SHOWED WERE CHRISTMAS MOVIES, THAT'S GOOD, BUT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. B R I N G B A C K T H E W A L T O N S.....
THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO WANT THE WALTONS BACK ON HALLMARK. LAST MAN STANDING IS A JOKE, WE WANT SOME GOOD HEART FELT SHOWS LIKE THE WALTONS.
HALLMARK PROMISED TO RETURN THE WALTONS ON JANUARY 4, 2016, BUT YOU ALL LIED. IT'S NOT VERY NICE TO LIE TO THE PUBLIC.
I NOW HAVE TO LEAVE THE HALLMARK CHANNEL, BECAUSE I DON'T CARE FOR YOUR LINE UP ANYMORE. UNLESSS YOU BRING BACK THE WALTONS FROM 5 P.M. TO 9 P.M. EVERY WEEK DAY.
SORRY HALLMARK FOR YOUR LOSS OF VIEWERS.

Hallmark channel

I have a question... Did sombody die at hallmark? The programming sucks! I really used to love your Christmas movies i still do but i have to ask did someone break into your movie vault and steal 85-90% of Christmas movies? You are so intent on the new that you dismissed the classic Hallmark Christmas movies!
You had a very limited loop of movies for year 2015 that you played over and over and over over over over and over again! If your strategy was to get me to go and buy your older classic better quality movies- Sorry i already pay for cable!
Bad play Hallmark! Now you seem to think we want 6...ill say it again 6 episodes of Last Man standing??? Terrible!
I turned off my TV.!!!! And now writing this complaint!
I'v never had Hallmark be this disappointing-

very disapointed

Very disappointed in the hallmark channel you said you were going to bring back the waltons on January 4 I was really looking forward to watching them again. The show you put in there place is stupid if I wanted to watch programs like that I would have just bought basic cable . I change my tv subscriber just to get the hallmark channel and now im not even interested in watching hallmark channel anymore. Please Bring Back THE WALTONS that's one reason that made hallmark channel worth watching.

The Walton's

Please re-do your programming and bring back the Walton's. I do not believe that Last Man Standing is really the type of family show you would want to be a reflection of what Hallmark Channel stands for in relation to family. I hope that you will re-do your programming before people find other quality family shows to watch in this time slot.

Hallmark dropping Waltons

I am so disappointed you have not brought back the. Wilton's after the Christmas season. Your advertising said you would and I was looking forward to getting the program back. The show and the characters are like old friends. I am afraid I am loosing interest in your station and question how you can think Last Man Standing is of the same quality programming. I might as well watch the other networks or better yet just rent movies or quality shows from Netflix.

Lack of diversity

Over the holidays I watched several Hallmark Channel original movies, and after about the fourth one, I realized that there was rarely anyone of color in any of the movies. And among all of the movies I watched, there was never a main character that was an obvious minority. Please make sure that your movies reflect the entire American population, not just the white component.

Crown for Christmas movie

I love watching the hallmark channel at Christmas. I've read a few complaints, but for my experience, it is a life saver. The movies have a way of cheering you up and letting life seem simple and optimistic. I'm a young woman and I have an incurable chronic illness, and this holiday season was especially hard. Thanks to being able to get in the spirit with these movies, it brought a little magic to otherwise lonely days.
I'd like that spirit to carry on - I've had a hard time finding a way to own the movie Crown for Christmas. I see it did come out on DVD, but is sold out everywhere. I just was hoping perhaps more would be released! Thanks.

Were are they now?

What happened to the promise by Hallmark to return the Walton's show after Christmas? What a deception. I will not be watching any of your other shows. Done with Hallmark.

A Christmas Melody

I enjoy watching the Hallmark channel during the Christmas season. Some of the movies are better than others. Generally the plot is pretty much the same, but still enjoyable.
However, there was one glaring exception this season - "A Christmas Melody" - with Mariah Carey. Wow, Hallmark, what WERE you thinking!! I like Lacey Chabert, but why would she put herself in that position? The storyline was very weak. But the filming was atrocious!!! Either Mariah Carey is too much of a diva to be fliming in the same room as anyone else, or she never showed up and you had to film all of her scenes at a separate time. Whatever the situation - YUCK!!! That was extremely poor. I can watch even some of the weaker films just because they have a Christmas theme, but I will never endure that one again.
Compare that to "The Lost Valentine" - oh ya, you can't!!

Please put the Walton's back on. Why do you show a show that is on at the same time on CMT?? Plus Last Man Standing is not going to get the ratings like The Walton's will.

Christmas & Everything Else Hallmark

I once respected our hometown company, Hallmark Cards, owned by the Joyce Hall family. With the demise of sending greeting cards, thanks to the internet, the outrageous prices for cards and the passe', saccharine, and sentimental cards being overtaken by the likes of Shoebox and Recycled Paper Products, they have switched into video programming. My wife plays the Hallmark Channel constantly during the holiday season and I think has watched and re-watched every movie. I really can't tell because they are all the same - same plots, characters, etc. And they are aimed at the same wonderbread middle-class white woman in her 20's and 30's. It is all fairy-tale, make-believe. Frankly, it has caused me to lose respect for her because of the mindless-claptrap she watches. I end up going down to the basement and doing other things, Hallmark does nothing to bring couples closer together. In fact, it drives them apart - causing people to go to separate rooms and setting up unrealistic expectations for the viewer. In a way, it's like porn with the vulgarity sanitized out of the movie. I will NEVER watch that channel. And before anyone thinks so, I don't watch sports all that much either. I like drama, intellectual works, documentaries, even a rom-com every now and then. Hallmark is Sesame Street for grown women, except less intellectually challenging.

The waltons

I'm boycotting the Hallmark channel. Will not watch till you bring back the Waltons. Taking off the Waltons and replacing them with two shows that are nothing but a bunch of smart mouth kids with no respect for adults. That's why the world is the way it is today.
