I enjoy your channel and the movies on it. It's a welcomed escape after a long day and is something I look forward to. I think anyone can enjoy a "feel good" movie that is void of politics or agendas... these are carefree shows that can be enjoyed by anyone. And I personally like the Chriatmas movies starting in October. It's a nice buildup to a wonderful season. I just wanted to leave a positive comment to let you know your movies are appreciated and enjoyed.

I'm wondering what happened to Columbia, Matlock and Diagnosis murder? I watched them everyday. Will they be back?
Thank you.

This is not a complaint but an observation and a suggestion. In my field of expertise we call it "Welcome Comments". However,
I too, wonder why don't you have more diversed leading characters in your holiday movies. I love most of your so called corny movies, but it would be nice to see other ethnicities represented......COMMENT! COMMENT!

No complaint I love them when I'm home my TV is on one of the Hallmark channels watching a movie right now one of my favorites and just saw a commercial for Mark S on home and family which I don't watch any more. I still can't believe you kept him and let Christina F go. What were you thinking. Merry Christmas everyone

I was quite surprised to stumble upon this website and very pleased to see I'm not alone in my observation and desire!

Now I wonder do you care about African Americans voicing our opinions and concern as to not being included in the Celebration of Christmas in your movies over the years!

Do you even read the emails and if so are you gonna do anything about it?

Although I am a loyal viewer most of the year, I cannot stand your absurd focus on Xmas starting at Halloween. I am boycotting your movie stations until it is over and maybe longer. If you think we are all going to spend money on Hallmark, you are dead wrong. In fact, I will spend no money on Hallmark in protest!!! This has gone to far. You should enjoy the loss of viewers and now you know why!!! Very disappointing!!!!!

I love both channels for the corny, wholesome feel good escapism it offers viewers. But, it is glaringly obvious that in the " world of Hallmark" people of color don't exist except as sidekicks or background furniture. We are a large & influential part of Amrican society & culture which deserves to be reflected. Don't follow the shameful delay of your greeting card company which took decades to incorporate diversity in its product line. Based on the comments in this forum, people have taken notice of your recalcitrance & it could (& should) hurt your branding!

I love your Christmas movies and love watching them with my 8 year old daughter. However, I am a little disturbed of something my daughter brought to my attention...she stated why don't they ever have Asians, African-Americans, or Latinos lead star in some of the movies, they believe in the goodness of Christmas too. I asked her how do you know, she said because they are all friends of mine. All your Christmas movies stars with white actors and actresses. Some diversity will carry this channel really far especially with the Christmas movies.

I am extremely irritated by Christmas programming starting the end of October. I celebrate and love Christmas but not in October, or even November. Please wait until December to start Christmas programming.

I love the Hallmark Channel! Keep the Christmas Movies coming and it would be great if Hallmark could find a slot for the The Golden Girls during the Christmas season!

However, I'm glad to see that others share my sentiments with the lack of diversity on this channel. I hope significant consideration will be given to this request. We are not asking to necessarily write scripts for specific races, but to show that romance exists across the border and that there is hope of falling in love for us all.

This is more of a reasonable request, than a complaint! We are all your faithful viewers.

I was just reading through the comments and surprised at the negative comments. My suggestion is for those of you who don't like the Christmas movies, change the channel! My husband even loves to watch the movies.
My main reason for commenting is this -- I appreciate that the Christmas movies are good, wholesome movies that families can watch. The one thing I do miss in most of the movies I've watched is any reference to a Christian view that the real meaning of Christmas is to celebrate Christ's birth. I'm not asking that future movies' theme be about the birth of Christ but I would like to see this at least acknowledged in the underlying theme of Christmas. There's too much commercialism and focus on Santa. I hope you will consider incorporating a more Christian view as well. Thank you. And Merry Christmas!!

I love watching your movies. I also love the fact that you can enjoy them as a family. With that being said, I have been reading the responses and there are a number of people who have requested diversity in your movies. I am concern because with all of the request, nothing has changed! Who is responsible for answering these request or casting these movies? Maybe we are responding to the wrong person, please send me the name and number of the producer or someone that can make changes. It seems the people who are reading these can't make changes or refuse to . It 2016 almost 2017 and no one should have ask this many time without a response or a change! Send the information requested to [email protected].

I like the Christmas movie season on hallmark and I actually watch hallmark more this time of year. It is the biggest reason I want the hallmark channel in my satellite package. Keep them coming. :)

My daughter and I love holiday films and have fun with your Christmas Countdown, but it's so white it is hard for us to engage our imaginations because ... well it's just odd ... unrealistic ... alien ... the lack of black and Latino characters. It's just kind of Stepford Wives. Hire some ethnic actors because truly, many of us do not live in an all white world and are distracted from the stories by small white world with which we are unfamiliar. I mean really, just had a black doorstep family. Keep up!

This was supposed to be a "where are the golden girls" topic. Give it a rest with the diversity stuff. 500+ channels are available for the butthurt liberals and sjw's to watch. Shut up already. Lol. Now to the other topic...the christmas nonstop is ridiculous. I watch tggs every night all 4 episodes. Reminds me of my mother who has passed. Its quite ridiculous with christmas movies playing. For craps sake at least keep the golden girls playing. Thats half the reason we watch it.

People who are complaining about lack of diversity may have missed Vanessa Williams in a great starting role in a modern day Scrooge kind of story. She plays a diva who learns a lesson. Another recent movie featured starring a Hispanic man, an African American and a white family who experienced a terrible bunch of bad luck together and end up celebrating Christmas together and love is spread all around. Good shows!

Why are the movie start times staggered? If I want to switch channels to watch a different movie, I have to either watch only one hour or miss one hour of the other movie. Please start them at the same times!

I love Christmas movies, don't get me wrong.... but 24/7. I love Golden Girls and I miss not being able to see them for 3 to 4 months due to Christmas movies that you are just going to show over and over again anyway. Please add Golden Girls back into the regular lineup so that I can enjoy them all.

I watch the hallmark Christmas countdown every year with my family but I would like to see a race other than white be the star of a movie. I have seen several people of color integrated in to the show however it would be nice to see a romantic christmas movie that also stars people of color. I would even enjoy a interracial couple, such as in the movie snow globe. I hope next year to see a few Christmas movies with more people who look like me.

This channel is ridiculous. All their movies lack diversity and do not even show the mandatory extra person of color. Also they have this whole religious message going on with their Christmas movies. You would think they're movies are all so feel good and simple but they are totally biased. I have stopped watching this channel now.

This channel is ridiculous how it promotes all these seemingly harmless feel good movies with a racist undertone. I have hardly seen any non-white actors in their movies. In addition to lacking diversity, they seem to have a religious message at every step. I've decided not to watch their movies or the channel any more.

I love the good clean, family movies on the Hallmark Channel, but notice the very obvious lack of diversity in cast members. As much as I like this channel, I will have to stop watching it if the owners refuse to have movie cast members representative of the people of this country. With this correction, this could be a good teaching format for young people.

I've enjoyed Hallmark movies and especially the Hallmark Christmas movies for years. I even love that the movies are shown for months leading up to Christmas, but have finally just had enough of the lack of racial diversity in the Hallmark movies. Every movie has a white protagonist and usually a 100% white cast. I even noticed tonight that everyone in the background in a restaurant scene appeared to be white.
Another problem is that the SAME white actors and actresses are used over and over again as though they all have membership in some type of exclusive club. Enough already! There needs to be racial diversity and variety of actors.

I am seriously considering no longer watching Hallmark movies as this lack of diversity is affecting my enjoyment of them.

There are many talented actors and actresses of other races--hispanic, asian, black, etc. --which could easily be placed in leading roles in these movies. I've only seen other races cast in the role of sidekick or some other minor supporting role.
And NO, I don't believe that the scripts need to be changed---just hire some actors and actresses of other races.
We don't need stereotypical roles and scripts being written just for them. That would create yet another problem.

Please change this so that we can ALL continue to enjoy the Hallmark movies.

I enjoy watching senseless unrealistic Christmas movies Until I watched Just in Time for Christmas. The seene with the book signing was extremely offensive. The mockery made of the girl wanting to be a cosmetologist is very disturbing, while I have a very successful career as a hairstyle I also a have collage degree in psychology and as a certified drug and alcohol counselor I make more money as a hairstylist. This left a bad taste and I will finding another channel and store to shop at.

Dear Santa, why are there so many stories that cast only white people? I thought I was the only one watching these goofy Christmas movies that I love, but pointed out to my husband how Hallmark Channel must think only white people like Christmas and fall in love. So I did a web search about my concern and sure enough found I wasn't the only person noticing this. And the occasional sidekick or extra thrown in is so obvious. It's 2016 so maybe we could see a reflection of realty here. If not in plot then at least in characters.
