The Hallmark Channel Has Run Out Of Creativity.....

They reverted back to both the Golden Girls and the Gilmore Girls.

This is when I stop watching.

Hopefully their boring hiatus won't last that long.

I've nothing to keep me company now.

Can't watch either of these programs.

Hallmark seems to develop a head of steam - then they crap out.

They have to have a better portfolio than these two outdated programs.

If not - they better start looking for fresher alternatives.

Its programming has always consisted of treacly, formulaic romances and predictable dramas featuring C-list actors. At least the Golden Girls was funny.

I'd also have to believe that any one episode of The Gilmore Girls has more wit than all of their shit Christmas movies combined.

Having watched a few, they are sort of like having music in an elevator.

(It is good that the actors are employed and paying taxes; it beats the alternative.)

Most notable is probably Biltmore.
But I also like An Unexpected Valentine. (Rider finds engagement ring in drivers car... )
And the lead actor was in another one about an author submitting a book under a pseudonym that I liked
