Improved programing

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have written a review in the past on the subject of diversity in your selection of actors and actresses. I just wanted to congratulate your channel for the improvement I have observed in your programming.

I have noticed a vast improvement on the number of diverse characters you have included in your movies. I will continue to encourage your channel to diversify your leading character roles. All leading characters do not need to be lily white. There are excellent diverse actors and actresses that are very capable to play starring roles.

Continue to make the improvements in your selections and congratulations on the improvements you have made. I love the Hallmark Channels!!!!

Horrible programming

Use a little brain power on programming something beside always Christmas. Christmas is fine in December. Other than that it gets old fast when ever movie is themed Christmas even in July.

If people would use a little brain power and google search they would know the majority of viewers love Countdown to Christmas as their ratings sore instead of being such whiners only wanting the programs they want! I will tell you what gets old is the programs that are on more than one channel that have been aired so many times for so many years I don't know why anyone would still be watching them but I don't like being selfish wanting just the movies I want but I think all of the complaints on the Christmas movies are beginning to make me want to complain on the shows Hallmark airs for 9 months over and over.

LOL I know what you mean. All of the whining about the Christmas movies is making me want to complain about all the regular shows I don't like.

Murder She Wrote, boring! Monk, too silly! Matlock, too old! Golden Girls I just don't like!

Who cares about all the viewers that love those shows? LOL

I haven't had any problems with the Hallmark movies watching them on both of their channels everything works good. If you are on Facebook you can send them a message there to see if anyone else has problems with the sound, etc. I don't know if this is an actual Hallmark website or just a site someone has for complaints and reviews but Hallmark is pretty good replying to messages on their Facebook page.

Racial imbalance

This is 2018; it's time to diversify.You use black and brown people in subordinate roles. Black or brown people never have families, or romantic involments. They're always single or act as confidants to their white counterparts. You obviously have no black or brown writers. Is this racism or what. You're an old established company; it's time you moved into the 2Ist century. The companies that sponsor your programs have all races, creed's, and nationalities as customers. Your programs should reflect this.

Have a separate chanel for people of color, not keen on watching them and they have a chanel BET. Just do not want to watch them or find them attractive.

I've seen more diversity this year with Hallmark than ever before even with some viewers complaining that they now have to much. Just can't please viewers no matter what they do some will always find fault.

Sure glad I don't have to write the movies or find actors/actresses knowing that no matter what there will always be those that find fault.

I totally understand that not all movies, not all actors/actresses is going to make everyone happy no matter what century it is. As for me, I am just happy I don't see lifestyles promoted on Hallmark movies that is on most others that is something that I don't care to watch!

Disappointed with new Christmas movies!

Just wanted to let you know that I am very disappointed in the new Christmas movies this year. This is the first time I have been disappointed enough to comment and I watch hallmark all the time with the exception of this Christmas season.

So what was it about the movies that disappointed you? I don't work for Hallmark, just curious, since the ones I've seen so far I love them all.

Sure beats what I have seen on some of the other Networks the Christmas movies that I wouldn't consider suitable for family viewing.

Sad really with them being Christmas movies. Thanks Hallmark for keeping your movies family rated.

November was Christmas stories, movies, etc.. Now December has the same thing.

I am so tired of seeing the Christmas movies two months in a row. I love Murder She Wrote, and all the regular type movies you usually feature.

Have pity on us and don't drown us with one type of showing for two months in a row. Bah Humbug...

If you are so tired of Christmas movies then don't watch! I am loving them and so does the majority according to their ratings.

How many times do you need to see the same episode of Murder She Wrote?

That airs over and over all those other months not to mention the marathons they have. I think Murder She Wrote is boring but I would be very happy for you and others that love the show to be able to watch it for 9 months if people like you would feel the same happiness for all of us that love ALL the Christmas movies.

You do know it's asking a bit too much of others to not gripe about their shows not airing even more and to be happy for those of us that loves all of the Christmas movies?

Hallmark and the Hallmark Channels used to be

full of programming that people could enjoy

with their children. Lately Hallmark thinks

they are MTV with their indoctrination programming.

Black men with white women, Lesbians and Homosexuals

all over the programming. Stop the politically correct ***

and go back to Wholesome movies.

And exactly how do you know the actors/actresses are gays and lesbians? Looking up the bio on each of them?

At least their movies do not promote the lifestyle on the actual scripts! I imagine with all of the actors/actresses that are either gays, lesbians, or willing to act the parts it would be hard for Hallmark to keep it the way you are suggesting. Hallmark has got a lot of complaints over their lack of diversity and whether I like it or not they are going to do what the majority of viewers want.

It's the only way they can keep their networks successful. I'll keep watching as long as they don't promote those lifestyles on their movies.

Blacks love too!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
As much as I enjoy your channel, it’s disheartening that you feel that real romance only exists amongst the white community. Shame on you for your lack of diversity displayed. Please stop throwing us bones by giving us insignificant side roles! Why not leading roles to show our love stories as well???

Some of their Christmas movies will have them in leading roles! I would think blacks are happy with the roles they get or they wouldn't take them.

Hallmark also has a new TV series (not sure if it got renewed) with either all blacks or mostly.

Who knows how many black people try out for the parts and what parts they try out for? Lots of variables I would have to know before I would be critical.

Your response indicates not only a lack of compassion, but also a lack of intellect and common sense. Do yourself a favor and choose to tread lightly prior to firing off ignorant responses. It’s not a good look.

Playing the race card is not a good look, either! As for compassion, I have them for all races, not just blacks!

As for treading lightly? Yep, you are just full of compassion LOL

I, too, think you Ms Walker are the one that lacks compassion. You are being critical and judgmental in your comments.

That is certainly not a compassionate trait.

What does intelligence have to do with whether someone thinks there should be more blacks on Hallmark? That is an opinion not a show of intelligence.

You’ll have to excuse me if I don’t t share in your opinion of myself. My request and complaint is a very relevant one; however, when you don’t share in the same plight, your opinions of the matter can often times be a bit cloudy.

And your responses can certainly be misconstrued as displaying a lack of compassion. That being said...if you watch the channel as much as I do, then you, too, will certainly have to acknowledge the lack of diversity displayed in leading roles in the movies. If you have an unwillingness to do so, then I certainly stand by my comment previously made. That has nothing to do with a lack of compassion...that’s the truth as I see it!

I could simply stop watching the channel, but I would rather express my concerns in hopes that a change may be affected prior to doing so. Now...I bid you good day.

Every movie is the same

Predictability is boring!! I’m glad the guy gets the girl/the girl gets the guy at the end of every movie because I love happy endings!! It’s sll the stuff in the middle that is predictable, therefore boring...the kiss or vulnerable/honest moment interrupted by someone, or someone hearing part of a story and then storming off because they thought they knew the whole story, etc... always the same!!!! If the writers run out of or need original material or new ideas, they can contact me!!

What a disappointment to see cat shows on sundays on hallmark

Guest

Well, boring or not, I love them all. If they come up with more scripts that are still for family viewing I would watch them, too. I've noticed other networks with Christmas movies they are predictable, too.

Not a favorite movie channel anymore

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I have been watching Hallmark movies for a long time, probably 10 years. The movies have been wonderful until this last year. Repeat, Repeat, Repeat, Repeat is all I see. The movies this year are so predictable and have no substance to them. Why are not the movies shown again that have been shown in the past. There have been so many movies that i would love to see again that are so much better then what you are now claiming to be so awesome. As already stated, they are predictable and have absolutely no substance to them. Bring the older movies back along with your so called current fabulous movies. I wish I knew what happen to the Larry Leveson (sorry misspelled, but you know who I mean) movies. They were awesome. If I have to see much more of your current agenda I will have to find a new entertainment agenda. Marjie Sunderland

Well, I don't work for Hallmark but I do read a lot of the comments on their Facebook and there is far more likes on their Christmas movies this year, too, than there are dislikes. There is no way that Hallmark or any other network can please everyone so people that find their self in the minority of viewers that is not liking their new Christmas movies there is a lot of other programming out there to watch.

That has ALWAYS been the case. Utterly predictable relentlessly upper middle class, with every character oh-so-wholesome.

Ugh! I do no understand how anyone who is not living in a fantasy world could possibly waste time, bandwidth, and therefore money on this mindless pap. Bulletin!!

I'm tired of all the violence in the world, Innocent woman and children being killed, shows with sex and violence or promoting their political agendas on everyone, tired of people dying because they don't have the money for the medical care they need, tired of people that just have to make fun of others, tired of pets being left outside abandoned by their owners when hurricanes, fires, tornadoes, or other tragedies strike such as the horrible people that left their dogs tied up or caged when Hurricane Florence hit with waters up to their necks before a wonderful person came to their rescue saving as many as they could, I could go on but needless to say Hallmark's Channels is not one of the things I'm tired of but even if I don't want to watch the shows anymore that air for 9 months out of the year there is always something else worthwhile I can find to do. Have a nice holiday! Not everyone will.

The “Woodsie” look

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
What’s with the five days without seeing a razor in the bathroom! I LOVE your channel and watch all your movies. But, the “no shaved” look is disgusting! I love the idea of hugging, kissing and the feel of a clean shaven man. Could you make just a few shows with clean shaven men so I can believe men are still loveable?

I hate hallmark year round Christmas

I always hate it when you start playing all those insipid Christmas movies in oct.

Now you start that garbage in July!

I really enjoy ‘the golden girls’, Frazier, Cheers, and love relaxing in the evenings with these favorite shows.

Nearly year round sacarinne, insipid, badly written, badly acted Christmas movies is making me ***

I will never spend a dime on anything Hallmark as long as you are showing this nearly year round crap and I am gong to tell direct tv how I feel and will drop direct tv if they;don’t drop you.

Like I said, I am boycotting hallmark product until hallmark channel is airing this crap nearly year round.

One thing they have accomplished, is other channels are showing more great

Fun shows and people will forget about hallmark.

What happened to the premiere of crossword mysteries abra cadaver On october 20,2019? Why change up your schedule for christmas movies this early?

Guest

And I hate the several months every year of Golden Girls, Frasier, and Cheers, showing those same episodes all the time. Bet you would tell me to just watch something else? LOL I have no problem watching something else when these shows are on.
