I'm a big fan of the Hallmark channel. I love the Christmas movies, but I also like the reruns during the rest of the year. Wish they would bring back the Andy Griffin show. I don't find the commercials to be as offensive as they are on all the other channels.

I also enjoy watching the cooking shows in the afternoon. They are relaxing and I manage to pick up a few pointers and some recipes. Very entertaining!

Count me in - a total sap when it comes to these movies.
I'm with Gracie, at this age I love happy endings.

My 3 favorites on the Food Channel are:
Barefoot Contessa
Giada
The Pioneer woman
Very relaxing!

I consider something gory, when films show brains and limbs being decapitated as oppossed to sanitary shooting of victems like in the old days. I would admit some would find "The Godfather", (Sonny at the toll booth), to be too violent, but it's nothing compared to Nightmare on Elm St and Friday the 13th type movies.

Everyone has a defintion of gory. I find that movies where someone or something that rushes onto the sceen to be scary, like in "Psycho" and "Jaws" with the head floating by. Frankenstein, Dracula and the Wolfman movies are kind of benign compared to other horror flicks. IMHO

I hear you; I understand.

I guess I haven't seen "Nightmare on Elm Street" nor "Friday the 13th" or such type of movies since about the 1980's. They were indeed scary back then. I'd never seen anything like it. I still recall being shocked.

The Godfather did have some violence , etc. if my memory is correct.

As far as THE SOPRANOS......H.B.O. has really pushed the envelope in many of its t.v. "movies".......or series.......such as in "The Soprano's" episode where they take their "friend" on the boat and end up throwing his body overboard into the ocean.......to me it was more like "fear factor" then gore........and also Adrianna crawling through the woods, finally realizing she was going to be exterminated........so much for love.
Ditto for the various bodies they sawed up in bathtubs, pork store back rooms, etc., etc..........plenty of gore.............or all the "hits" with lots of blood.

But nothing like what Criminal Minds has been showing on t.v. for the past decade..........

Movies we've seen on cable t.v.'s pay for view also are very very gory; all made within the past year or two.

Hollywood sure has changed. No doubt about it.

We are enjoying the Hallmark channel...........except for the commercials.
We have taken someone else's good advice and now record them to view later and skip through all the commercials............

The " Hallmark Channel " one of THE most annoying channels Period !! Why ?? Plain and Simple the Really, Really, Annoying Background Sound that is dubbed into the scenes. Completely unnecessary, same as dubbed in laughter. I do realize that for the most part the programs are feel good down home, scripts usually by preformed by wanna be actors/actress's but all the background subtle "Music" is very annoying and basically ruins the plot.
