That’s true. The Hollywood elite get away with so much.
I like Hallmark, but I don’t subscribe, so I never heard of the Garage Sale Mysteries. If anything, Hallmark probably got free advertising out of this story. lol
You're not missing much with the Garage Sale Mysteries (or any of Hallmark's mysteries) IMO. I've seen several of them because my wife watches them all the time. They are basically low-impact mysteries that play like recycled "Murder She Wrote" scripts. And just like Cabot Cove, Lori's idyllic little town (I call it "Hallmarkville") seems to have a murder every week.
My wife watches Hallmark because she likes movies and shows that are not overly tense. Hallmark produces the lightest-weight entertainment out there.
