Here is a pretty good Hallmark Movie that is not a sappy love story!

It stars the girl who was the daughter on Friday Night Lights.

She is a pretty good actress and might be the replacement for Candace Cameron Bure as the featured star of Hallmark.

It is not sappy and it is pretty interesting. Yes you have to suspend your disbelief a few times but I bet you will enjoy it,

I didn't know that Hallmark was turning to Horror to get ratings now that so many stars have left!

 

 I think that my current favorite show on TV is "When Calls the Heart" on the Hallmark Channel. Yeah, it's a sappy family show with a story that was originally based on a love story between a Mountie and schoolteacher, but it improved over time. It is based on this town in Canada and is sort of a cross between a soap opera and Little House on the Prairie. There are various characters that are cliches but still fun in an old-fashioned way. The noble Mountie. The shady saloon keeper. The virginal schoolteacher with the big tits. The Jewish storekeeper. The black preacher. All the people you expect to see on the Hallmark Channel.

One of the main couples is the owner of the sawmill Lee Colter and his wife the editor of town paper Rosemary. She was introduced as the former girlfriend of the original Mountie who was after the schoolteacher and later she married the richest guy in town. They are married in real life so their chemistry is really great. The one problem they have is that she can't seem to get pregnant. Season after season they are all sad because they can't start a family. They always seem to be ready to adopt whatever orphan that shows up but they never do. Until this season. The sawmill guy finally slipped one past the goalie. It is set in Canada by the way.

I thought that was great until I realized one thing. If they had a kid it would be Rosemary's baby!

Can you imagine the horror? A little demonic child in a wooden cradle screaming "You can suck my dick you fucking lousy Mountie!" "Teacher leave that kid alone and show me your tits!"

Hallmark will do anything for ratings it seems.

Rosemary's Baby!

The first GAC family movie I saw left a lot to be desired.

 

I have been contemplating switching to GAC TV instead of Hallmark as they have hired the former President of the channel and bunch of their biggest stars. They are planning on going back to the basics of what made Hallmark great. No gays and toning down the interracial marriages to something resembling reality as only 9% of the marriages are interracial in the United States. So I DVRed a couple of them including their first offering "Jingle Bell Princess."

This had a bunch of classic Hallmark tropes. A princess stranded in Middle America well in this case Maine. You know bumpkin town. A widower who lives with his Mom and his precious daughter because he ist distraught over the loss of the wife. He even had the obligatory black best friend which is fine as they are protrayed as a black traditional family who are fully intergrated into the community as is the case in most places. The princess lands her plane. She wanders off the plane to find a cute puppy with a jingle bell around it's neck and the plane leaves without her. Shut up it could happen.

There are a couple of problems with this movie. First is the size. The movie is smaller than the frame of your TV. I don't know why that is. It seems to be cheap movie making. The cameos are not up to snuff. No faded stars of yesteryear like you would get in Hallmark. The Santa character is just some played out Canadian unlike Hallmark where he would be William Shatner or somebody like that. The romance is rudimentary and the conflict was no big deal. Still it was a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.

They just need to up their game. I think Candace and Danica will force them to improve.

Heres hoping.

Well you what we do when that happens

Well, I got banned from the TV blog again! They called me racist and homophobic! They really know me!

I have been banned about ten times from that site. I use various names but now I think they tracked me by my IP or something since they banned me with one strike and mentioned previous things, I had said under a different screen name. I guess it is a good thing as I waste too much time there commenting on various TV shows. I like the give and take, and I would always get an enormous amount of likes for my posts and jokes. This time I got banned for calling the people who have tried to destroy Hallmark groomers. Imagine that I got banned on the Hallmark thread.

Now Hallmark isn't totally ruined although it is getting pretty fucked up. They are featuring same sex couples and every commercial only has mixed race couples in it. No all white or all black couples. Did you know that 9% of the married couples are interracial in America. On my TV it seems that it is  100% which isn't so bad if it had a point. The couple on Ghost is fine as the husband is likeable and funny unlike the original British version. Even that wokefest 911 Lone Star has a believable couple even thought the redneck firefighter is married to the very religious black lady. You can kind of believe those relationships. Most of the other ones not so much. So I pick and choose the Hallmark movies and tv shows I watch. 

Youse guys are going to be subject to reviews and discussions about them because I was banned from the TV blog. See. You thought this subject had nothing to do with you!

I have pretty much limited my TV viewing to Julia, Ghosts, NCIS Hawaii and the Real Housewives. Also Hallmark movies. They are all over my DVR.

Now you might have heard about the talent raids the GAC channel is pulling on Hallmark. They are signing some of the big stars to exclusive contracts like the Full House housefrau and the skinny bitch from the Wonder Years. Hallmark is replying by signing some of their stars to long contracts. It's like George Steinbrenner bought a TV channel. I love it.

You might know the Hallmark recipe. A girl leaves her high paying job in the city to go back home to her families failing bakery, Christmas tree farm, diner or animal shelter. She meets a salt of the earth widower with a cute daughter and a cute dog. The meet, argue and eventually fall in love as she decides to leave her job as an ad exec to work in her families blueberry patch. Now the format changes once in a while so when there is a slight variation it is very enjoyable.

In a recent offering called "A Tail of Love" they mix it up. An army guy who is coming back home to sell his families pet food company meets the lovely skinny blond girl who owns the rescue shelter next door. His family was a big supporter and donated lots of food and money to keep it going. They even sold the property to them to build the house and shelter. The evil businesswoman who bought the company decides to evict them because nobody can find a record of the sale. Hijinks ensue. It all turns out right in the end as the couple gets together and the Army guy adopts a rescue dog that had just come back from Afghanistan. You see this was set before Biden became President. 

I love these kinds of movies. Yeah I like sex and violence as much as the next guy if the next guy is Hunter S Thompson but I don't want to see politically correct bullshit which is all you see these days. This was a nice gentle comedy that is perfect to watch before you go to bed.

Plus you know what? GAC family channel plays reruns over night. Bewitched and I Dream of Jeanie!

Fuckin' A you can't beat this shit.

I mean if OJ can play golf?

 

Lori Loughlin is coming back to Hallmark.

Fired after the scandal where she paid $400,000 to get her idiot child into USC she did her time and is ready to be rehabilitated. Formerly a star of Hallmark Mystery Movies and a regular on the flagship TV series "When Calls the Heart:" Lori was dropped like a hot potato when the scandal hit. The squeaky clean network didn't want to upset their fans with her on their channel.

But is seems enough time has passed and crime doesn't matter anymore. I mean if shoplifters are not prosecuted and Antifa and BLM looters get a free pass why can't Aunt Becky get her rice bowl back?

She will start out on the spin off "Where Hope Calls." Soon enough she will be back on WCTH.  I doubt that she  get here series of movies back but you never know what will happen if money is involved.

Maybe Alec Baldwin can guest star.
