Christmas movies

I've missed the mystery movies on Hallmark especially Matlock, Diagnosis Murder, Aurora Teagarden. Brooke Shields, etc. etc. it.s nice to see some Christmas movies....Halloween is much too early to start showing them and 24/7 is ridiculous. I will continue to boycott Hallmark until you put back my favorites. Once Christmas is past it's time to stop. I am a semi-shut in and I am so disappointed. I watch Hallmark movies and mystery channel. 3/4 of the time or rather, I did.

LOOPING OF SAME MOVIES NOT PLAYING OLDER CHRISTMAS MOVIES

You did it again. Two years in a row of looping THE SAME HM MOVIES ALL DAY/24/7. I sent a complaint last year too. There are SO many excellent 'older' Christmas movies from HM that you do not air. But, whoever the program manager was before the last 2 seasons--ALWAYS did. That is actually something me (friends too; b/c we discussed) watching was the new AND the old. Instead, again as discussed, after a week at TG; all the movies are the same. So, just like last year, I stop watching HM. I saw a few at 3:00 AM and recorded one, but your Program Manager made a bad move. Very frustrated customer. +++JUST SAW ALL THE COMPLAINTS+++TY OTHER VIEWERS. I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY!!!!!!!

Christmas movies

Why must we endure Christmas movies 24/7 at all but especially as long as they show on Hallmark. They used to be a treat but now they play over and over. And then in the summer what happens???? AGAIN Christmas movies 24/7. I am pretty certain you are losing viewers. Put something else on please.

Variety

I love Christmas, but, I am really fed up with movies about it. They are so "gushy" and "sweet" that they are no where near real! They are all about gifts, lights, candy, presents and romance. Everybody gets the girllfriend or boyfriend. Everybody gets their job fixed.
The town is saved! Really?! Well, Christ was born on Christmas day and the celebration is because of His birth so should that not be mentioned! The same movies have played since about August. All day. Every day. But even when you play other kinds of movies, the same ones play over and over. I know there are lots of movies out there for you to play. We get two Hallmark channels and they are the same. You have had some really good movies in the past, but for the last year the quality of content need some repair.

Please just consider my thoughts. I love tv movies but need better.

Lack of Diversity

Some years ago without question I would look forward to Hallmark's movies (especially at Christmas). For the last few years at Christmas, Hallmark has helped me to find other Channels on TV due to the lack of diversity, unrealistic movie plots and lack of depth in Hallmark's movies. Also, Jesus is the reason for the Christmas Season. Please consider movies regarding the Birth of Christ. Your movies are programming viewers that Christmas is only about romance.

24/7 Christmas Movies

The regular Hallmark channel comes with my tv package. I was familiar with the non stop Christmas shows on it during the Christmas season. A few months ago I started paying extra to get the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries channel. I was very disappointed to learn it also does the Christmas movies. It is ridiculous to have 24/7 Christmas movies on both channels for 2 months. Please add some of the regular programs too!I haven't watched either channel for 2 months. I will cancel my subscription if it is the same next year.

lack of Diversity

So you continue to hear about lack of diversity with Hallmark movies. Why do you refuse to address this important and relevant concern?Shouldn't people other than white experience the Christmas Spirit by seeing themselves represented in leading roles instead of being the side-kick or non important roles. Please do something different for 2017!!
Thank you.

Lack of POC characters

This was my very first time truly watching the Hallmark channel and I loved the Christmas movies. It's nice to see a little bit of love and hope. What made me sad were that in ALL of the movies not one person of color stars as a main character or love interest. I'd like to see someone who looks like me get a happy ending as well. Would be great to see a story with a black, Spanish, and Asian leading actor and actress. There are so many movies that one of each could star in the show. There are so many well known or unknown POC characters who would love the opportunity.

Movies lack depth

I have been very disappointed in the Christmas movies this year. Most of them are very similar and lack depth. Also, everything is about santa! Are you afraid to mention God? Even the lifetime movies brought in God now and again. I too turned to watching some of the lifetime movies instead.
Please make some of your movies more about real life with a diversity of storylines and characters from different socioeconomic status and different cultures.

Phony acting

I absolutely loved the Hallmark Channel last year. I was addicted to the Christmas movies especially the ones with Danica Mckellar and Lacey Chabert. But so many of the shows this year were really phony and the acting was really bad. Also maybe you could film some of these movies with actual snow. I loved the one where Candice Cameron goes back in time. More affection needed throughout the shows. Less may be more as far as make fewer movies with better scripts. But thank you for the good ones.

Black actors/ actresses

I really enjoy watching Hallmark movies, I rarely see any black faces, a spot here or there. I don't see any Black Americans with any prominent parts. I know there are capable Black Americans that can pro-form on these shows. As a Black American myself I would like to see some identification as I view your Hallmark movies.

programming

I used to love Hallmark Movies and Mystery, but this Christmas thing is to much 2 months is to long and the programs are not even good. They are all the same. What happened to the mysteries? Why change the late night programs? At least we could get the mysteries after 11PM, but not for the last two months. Please don't call yourself a mystery channel if you are not showing mysteries. Hallmark and Hallmark Movies and Mysteries have become the same.

Christmas Movies

I enjoy the Christmas movies which start after Halloween and play into the New Year on the Hallmark Channel. Last year in 2015 I missed some of the Christmas movies and assumed they were being given a rest and would play in 2016 but NO LUCK. Instead I finally realized there are two Hallmark Channels playing Christmas movies...why??? I only get ONE Hallmark Channel, and for the first time I was not a faithful watcher of its Christmas movies, I MISSED SOME OF THE OTHER MOVIES like "The Christmas Card", which apparently only play on the other channel. This year I found the romantic "cookie cutter" movies to be boring, and played over and over, you can only watch some of them once. This year I watched more Christmas movies on Freeform, Lifetime and AMC because I had seen all the "cookie cutter" Christmas movies on my one Hallmark Channel. Love watching Christmas movies while decorating, wrapping, baking or cooking and just to escape during the holidays, but this year I was watching other channels more than Hallmark.

Time to think this through, and make some changes for 2017, does anyone consider getting feedback from the viewer????

Where is Thanksgiving

I love Hallmark. I would love to see diversity too, but I would love to see more Thanksgiving movies. I just think that is forgotten. There is Halloween then Christmas, let's not forget the middle man. Thanks Hallmark for always putting a smile on my face.

Missing older movies

Just want to add to the sentiment that I was missing some of my older favs this Christmas season. Its great to add in new movies, but don't forget we love to see the older ones as well (not to mention, a more diverse set of cast members - it gets a little weird watching the same 4 or 5 leading men and women in every other movie, especially when the acting is not that great when they are not playing their type cast).

Commercials

Of course you have to sell ad time. Do you know or care almost all your "as seen on tv"products do not do what is shown in the infometcial? Look up real reviews.
One rip off after another.
I would think your network has stanards to maintain.

Older Christmas Shows

I want to start off saying I look forward to after Halloween for the Christmas shows to start. However, this year I didn't watch like I used to. Every night I watched in hopes to see some of the older movies I miss. I went online and pulled up the shows aired in the 90's. I was surprised to see a lot of the shows you no longer have on that my family and I enjoyed. I would like to get the opportunity to share the he list with you if possible. Have a Happy New Year and thank you for listening.

Christmas movies

The movies this year were terrible. The repeats were awful. They were the same movies over and over and over again. Where are all of the movies from the previous years? I love the holiday schedule but really need to see new faces. The acting this season was terrible, both the women and the men were so phony. I lost complete interest in your channel this season and went to ION and Lifetime. Maybe next Christmas season will be better. Very disappointing.

Bring them back..already!

So the holidays are over..I went on the Hallmark website to check the schedule and someone please explain why Hallmark is airing FIVE HOURS of Tim Allen shows! Come on really!!!There NOT even good shows. But FIVE HOURS! Please bring back Little House and The Waltons!!! You are known for quality tv and good basic values that are reflective of this programming. If I wanted to watch such crap I would watch Nick at Nite. Please, please!
