I'm normally a Saturday afternoon college football watching guy but came across the Hallmark Channel and haven't switched up until this posting. They're showing Christmas specials from now until the holiday and they are really great. So if you want to watch some wholesome TV, then check it out..........Adios

[null and void]

No. I refuse to watch, or condone wall-to-wall Christmas programing until Thanksgiving is over.

Hallmark is great stuff. I turned my mom on to Hallmark channel (and its sister station Hallmark Movie Channel), and she’s hooked. I enjoy it quite a bit as well, though my absolute favorite station is MeTV - I never miss the “Sunday Night Noir” lineup.

Uverse (ATT) doesn’t carry it (some problem from 4 or 5 years ago).

I can’t get all the channels I want in any one place without installing a dish (which local ordinance says I have to install on my deck and that ain’t gonna happen).

Time Warner doesn’t carry the NFL channel and has the worst service and DVR User Interface in the know planet. I despised everything about them for the time I had them.

I really hope Uverse gets Hallmark back. Despite their propensity to create and broadcast chick flicks it is a very wholesome network.

Agreed! Hallmark is especially great at this time of year!! Lifetime Movie Network and ABC Family tend to have pretty good Christmas movies virtually around the clock in December, too. LMN’s Christmas movies aren’t necessarily all girlie, either, so a guy might be able to stomach, them. :)

Thanks for the reminder about Hallmark!

two really good ones are Christmas in November and A Christmas Card. Good family movies and all with a happy ending.

I do not try to rope people in on my boycotts, but I do not feel comfortable with Hallmark anymore since they came out with a line of greeting cards designed for homosexual relationships.

In the past couple of years, Hallmark’s become my favorite channel for the holidays.

During the week Hallmark has movies starting a 11:00 CST till 7:00 AM than Marie comes on. Weekends Hallmark has movies from 11:00 Am friday till Monday ending at 7:00 AM

My mother whom has Alzheimers generally like Little House on the Praire, and Waltons enjoys the Christmas Movies. Just wish they would cut the Santa Claus trash.

This makes my day easier as mother is at my house now and can at least be able maintain counseling others, Go home at lunch time to make sure she eats. Get others from her church to come in so she is not alone.

thanks for the post on Hallmark

Thanks for your post. I switched to Hallmark Channel and am so happy! Love the movie that is on now.
No more Pawn Star reruns for me:)

I am basing this on only two programs, so perhaps I am wrong. Last year, I tuned into Hallmark for two Christmas shows, and, while they were what you could call wholesome, their treatment of Christmas was that it is a time when people remember to be kind to each other.

There was not even the slightest hint of any religious significance. Now, someone might argue that their argument/explanation could be that not everyone is a Christian, but, IMO, Christmas is about Christians, and those who do not believe in Christ are not really observing Christmas.

I most often TIVO their movies, to avoid the commercials.

I haven't looked at the channel yet and won't, till after Thanksgiving.
Thank you very much, for this reminder post!
