(WJW) – As many folks remain at home to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus, Hallmark Channel is stepping up to help provide some cheerful entertainment.
According to Entertainment Tonight, a special Christmas movie marathon is scheduled for this weekend to help ease the nation’s social isolation. It starts on Friday, March 20 at 12 p.m. and ends on Sunday, March 22 at 6 p.m.
Hallmark will air 27 original “Countdown to Christmas” holiday movies, including “A Christmas Detour” with Candace Cameron Bure and “Christmas in Rome” starring Lacey Chabert.
Hallmark’s “In the Key of Love” debut will still air as planned this Saturday at 9 p.m.
Headline News cut out some of the alleged news for more Forensic Files.
CSPAN3 was showing its weekend American history shows during the week (Congress was still in session on the other two channels, maybe just almost empty chambers).
If the History Channel went back to shows about history it would be nice [Joke ending deleted].
This is a great idea. I was thinking of watching some Christmas movies so this is perfect. :D
Banacek. ..
The Jessie Stone Series. ..Tom Selleck.
Good that they pulled back the plan. It would have severely hurt their station since their audience are mostly Christians.
MONK Marathon time again! My favorite show!
Basically the same corny schlock with Santa hats.
Unless it is Home Alone and Home Alone 2; not interested.
Or Die Hard.
Banacek, that was another good one.
