I agree with the other people who have complained about your two month's worth of Christmas movies on both channels - what a cheap and lazy method of programming. I might also add that you continually play the same Christmas movies year after year, ad nauseum. You have four or five tired old plots that you simply cut and paste from one movie to another. I can't tell your new movies from the old ones. And all of your "princess" movies - I won't even go there. What's the average age of your viewers - 8 or 9? I'll simply stop watching your channels for the coming two months, and hopefully find replacement channels, so that I can stop watching them permanently.

I love Christmas just as much as the next person. I love movies just as much as the next person. I don't like Christmas movies forced upon the Hallmark Channel subscribers. It's not a matter of whether the movies are good or not, it's a matter of why do they have to air 24/7? Can't you change your schedule to show perhaps 2 or 3 of them daily? And why are we seeing them now - October? It was bad enough when they started in December for the entire month, now October? This makes me want to either cancel my satellite subscription to remove Hallmark from my package and add it back when regular programming resumes.

Besides, there are two Hallmark Channels, right? So why not just put these movies on one of your channels and leave the other one with regular programming? This is just toooooo much and you might want to listen to the complaints. There seems to be plenty. We are not "Anti-Christmas", we're just "Anti shoving these movies down our throats." I guess next year, these movies will start in August? September?

STOP IT!

Could y'all please be more considerate with your stupid decision to do Fantasy Christmas for 2 months???
Christmas unfortunately is NOT celebrated in YOUR manner n must be Respected as such...most people
suffer from Deep Depression/Suicide is at its highest rate! So please HALLMARK be MORE CONSIDERATE of the people paying extra for your stations n for the human beings who unfortunately cannot fit your Fantasy Christmas into their
REAL Human Lives!!!! Stop With the Lack of Caring n Seriously Reconsider Your Stupid Decisions!
Knock it Off! Get Real n do Christmas on ONE Channel Only for the Month of December! GOT IT!??!
Leave your movies n mystery channel with regular programming all year long! That's what we pay for n that's what we want as
the PAYING customer!

Just horrible!! I am a Christian and love Christmas but last year I complained and am doing so again this year!
I hope your ratings plummet so you can go back to pleasing your customers and not some who knows why or what, Christmas tacky programming ..

The was a ad fo the Christmas countdown on HALLOWEEN!!!! There is no Halloween countdown, no thanksgiving count down and no hannaca countdown and fifty four days till Christmas. Do you honestly have Fifty Four Good movies picked out. If you are playing movies all these two months you are going to run out of good movies by the time Christmas comes around, then when people are watching you'll be showing "lucky charms leprechaun loses the wrapping paper".

Christmas is my favorite holiday. I have to agree with others in stating that even for me I was surprised to see the Countdown to Christmas has already begun. No Halloween or Thanksgiving, just straight to Christmas. Hallmark Channel is jumping the gun with Christmas movies nonstop over the next two months. Starting the weekend after Thanksgiving would make more sense.

And while on the subject of Christmas. I didn't know that Christmas, a holiday of faith, love, sharing, and togetherness was only something celebrated and treasured by only one ethnicity. Throughout the years I have understood it to be a time truly treasured by people of EVERY ethnicity. So, Hallmark the next time you develop your Christmas movies and other holiday/season themed movies please remember there are people of all races who strive to live by the same wholesome values and lifestyles which the Hallmark Channel promotes.

Hallmark Channel's continued refusal to diversify the actors/actresses in its movies is disheartening. Oh and Hallmark playing The Preacher's Wife on Hallmarks Movies & Mysteries Channel during the Countdown to Christmas doesn't count.

I have really tried to watch Home and Family since Cristina left, but I just can't do it. One of the main reasons I watched was because of the family like feel. I think that is missing now. I liked Debbie in her segments, but can only take so much of her. Now it all seems so forced. She seemed to enjoy her job before, now I feel like she is stressed and forcing everything. Not enjoying Mark either. He and Cristina had great chemistry. Now that is missing. You guys not only handled things wrong, but you made a bad decision. You let a great person go.

I love Christmas movies and that you play them for months until Christmas. I just wish you would take the time add diversity to your movies. The U.S. is the melting pot and there are so many other ethnicities that could be added to your channel....especially since Christmas is not just a caucasian occasion but one shared and enjoyed by all.

I am so upset that that you are putting Christmas movies on now. They were also on this summer.
Why don't you start a new channel for just Christmas and leave our regular shows on.
This is obnoxious. Give us back Murder She Wrote Golden Girls etc People are sick of Christmas programming!!!!!

I like watching golden girls and Frazier when going to bed for the night, now all they have is christmas shows, so i do not watch channel any more!

I love christmas more than anyone else butits holloween not christmas there are shows that i enjoy watch and you take them off to play your stupid christmas movies! It is okay to start christmas movies after thanksgiving. And please stop airing LAST MAN STANDING!!!!!

We love watching the Hallmark channel but are very disappointed to see you have skipped right over Halloween and Thanksgiving. So tired of the rush to Christmas. It seems so shallow and certainly takes away from the specialness of each season; each holiday. We just sighed when the Christmas shows started. We will be back to watch after Thanksgiving.

It's very upsetting that you all don't star any African Americans and other minorities of color in your films. It's disconcerting and sad. You need to respect diversity and inclusiveness and it doesn't seem that you all understand or respect that concept at all, but want Blacks like me and others to support you when you don't support or respect us. You all need to wake up, be better, and do better.

Respectfully Candid Viewer,
Sam

I watch your channel faithfully, however , i will not be watching it anymore. The same Christmas Movies over and over and starting in October is way overboard.
What happened to celebrating Halloween and Thanksgiving? The greed of the Christmas Holiday has taken away Thanksgiving and the is truly sad. Especially since Christmas is not about the true meaning of Christmas anymore. People have made it about money and gifts. We should be thankful this time of year and celebrating the birth of Christ.
I believe that 2 months of Christmas movies is entirely to much and that the month of December is plenty and not 24/7.
The spirit of the holiday should not be forced on us months before the holiday. It becomes more stressful and less enjoyable. There is no way that the "joy" of Christmas can last for 2 months. So please give us a break. I really do not feel like paying for your channel only to have a holiday forced on me months in advanced.

Also the Christmas in July?? Gotta go! Forcing it on people again. Maybe developing another Hallmark Channel that is for the Holiday's.. Your making enough money to do so since I watch the station and many of the shows like Home and Family, The Middle, Golden Girls, Frazier, Cheers, I Love Lucy and so on.

Thanks

OK - I understand that some people REALLY love Christmas, and that's o.k., but did anyone at Hallmark at any time during one of your programming meetings (while munching on Halloween candy) stop and say...."I don't know, isn't it a little early to show Christmas movies?" What kind of audience do you have that justifies showing these (really subpar) movies around the clock? The problem is, you're contributing to our society's lack of attention span, and uber-consumerism. Let's celebrate one...holiday...at...a...time! Please!!!

If someone is lining your pockets, or you simply can't get enough of Lacey Chabert falling in love on a snow bank, then for the love of all that is holy, don't bump Golden Girls and other programming completely from your schedule. You can show it at other times you know.

Wow Hallmark. Just wow!

I think putting Christmas show on Hallmark and take the golden girls off sucks why cant they mess up a different channel not hallmark or if they cant then why all stupid day why not just one movie not what to watch that kind of stuff all day long beside every one seem to rush the holidays Christmas is not till December not in October even the store rush the holidays too it not even thanksgiving yet but all the store got stupid Christmas stuff out already or find a channels to put the golden girls on if you could but i dout it. by the way i read a lot of people comment and they seem upset because you taking the best show off to put Christmas show on that is one way to make people mad about put the Christmas junk on tv i kw that i am.

HALLMARK MOVIES and HALLMARK CHANNEL ... I love your movies BUT ... don't stagger the airing times. If we watch one movie on the Movies channel and want to watch the next movie on the Hallmark Channel, we're screwed because it's 1 hour into the movie. Hallmark owns both channels ... you're not losing anything ... help your customers out. (I brought this issue to the Hallmarks last year and they made the movies start and end at the same time -- worked great!)

PS on the Christmas issue ... I don't mind 2 months of Christmas. The are great movies and I love Christmas. As it is, once we get into the "Christmas" time frame, it passes too quickly.

Thank you.

You're losing me Hallmark!

Two months of Christmas movies? Come on, are you trying to lose viewers? Have you ever considered taking a poll? You are totally messing up my nightly routine of watching Frasier until I fall asleep. Please, at least leave the regular programs on from 10 pm to 10 am. I won't be watching your channel until next year.

I absolutely hate it when you start two months of Christmas movies! It is nauseating. I agree with what other posts have stated.
Has anyone realized that Hallmark might be doing this to increase their sales? Think about it.

Every year in October You all take away my favorite nightly movies; the middle, Golden Girls and Frasier. All of these Christmas movies each and every year are rehashed Christmas stories that cater to one group of people. Everyone doesn't like feel good Christmas movies. Where are my Golden Girls!? I don't wanna see A Mistletoe Christmas then A Very White Holiday then A Special Family Holiday then Deck the Halls with Love then Christmas Memories then A Very Special December then a December to Remember then Holiday Wishes.... these movies are ALL THE SAME! You should have a Christmas Channel for the Holidays but dammit, you take away my Golden Girls and Frazier and you mess with my livelihood. Consider what you're doing to countless people at night when you take away their beloved shows for two months. It's sheer HORSE-HOCKEY! Merry Christmas Dammit.

Can't there be a compromise? Gradually get to 24 hours by mid-December and DON'T start playing Christmas programs until mid to late Novber. It would be great to keep your traditional programs for the die-hard Golden Girls & Fraser fans!

I totally agree!
"Hate, hate, hate two months of non stop Christmas movies, although I love Christmas, it's an overkill. Please show more fun shows like The Middle, Frazier, New Adventures of Old Christine and other comedies."

Who the heck wants to watch your corny predictable stupid nicey, nicey Christmas movies? I sure never watch them. The ONLY, and I mean the only shows I watch are the ones you are taking off for 2 full months! I hate your company for doing this to me. It is bad enough this old senior does not have many pleasures left in her life as it is! Where do you get off doing this without asking your viewers?
I wrote to you last year about this, too!

My entire holiday and winter stuck in the house is made unbearable by your network company removing my only TV programs I watch throughout the day, starting with The Middle, to the middle of night with the Golden Girls, Frasier and Lucy.

I am wishing for Christmas, this year, that some other network begins to show these fun sitcoms so I can get rid of Hallmark and not have to put up with this every single year.

Hate, hate, hate two months of non stop Christmas movies, although I love Christmas, it's an overkill. Please show more fun shows like The Middle, Frazier, New Adventures of Old Christine and other comedies.

Ok, why does EVERY single show or movie ONLY have white people in it????? This is 2016 and it is a crying shame. SHAME on the Hallmark channel. I use to enjoy the mysteries, but got tired of lack of people of color in the shows. WHAT WORLD ARE YOU PEOPLE LIVING IN???? I refuse to watch the channel anymore until Hallmark realizes that the world isn't made up of white people only. Very sad and disrespectful to your viewers!

I love Lucy & The Golden Girls are my favorite programs on the Hallmark Channel. I never watch your movies anyway--too phony and painfully predictable. I don't know who thought 2 months worth of non-stop boring Hallmark Christmas movies was a grand idea? Whoever you are, you should be examined. I agree with the sentiments already expressed here.
