Disappointed that the Movies & Mysteries one is a movie and not a mystery. I know the channel is meant to have both but I would love a channel that is all mysteries!

GIVE ME BACK MY MYSTERIES. I have not watched any of the Hallmark channels since they went to ALL Christmas Romances. Come on people. I like a decent romance movie as much as do a lot of other women. HOWEVER there is only so much a person can handle of the same typical plot. (boy meets girl, boy gets girl, boy loses girl, boy finds girl a few years later). Same plot, different actors and different locale. I want my mysteries back. Was a faithful watcher of every series and enjoyed each one. Many favorites were Mystery 101, Mystery Chronicles, Hannah Swenson, Aurora Teagarden, Gourmet Mysteries, Martha's Vineyard Mysteries, Crossword Puzzles Mysteries and I even liked the Garage Sales Mysteries. You have channels called Hallmark romances, Hallmark holidays, Hallmark dramas. Give us our mysteries back. All Hallmark has to worry about is losing viewers. He has lost me for the holiday season.

Time to bring back The Garage Sale Mysteries!! The channel is about mystery! Two channels dedicated to cookie cutter romance movies is enough.

A few Christmas movies is one thing. But 2 weeks in July and starting in Oct till Jan is ridiculous so I turned Hallmark off. I have finally found other channels I like equally as much and will probably not turn back to Hallmark. I loved Hallmark Mysteries when they had actual mysteries (Jesse Stone for one). I guess the viewership numbers were not enough to warrant they continue.

Where are the mysteries? Bring them back! Especially Aurora and Mystery 101. I don’t even watch the Hallmark channel anymore. Now it’s reruns of Criminal Minds and NCIS.

I thought Lacey Chabert signed exclusively to the GAC Network...

It may have been Danica McKeller who did that.

Something about her gets on my nerves. I like a couple of her movies but she just doesn't come across naturally. It's like she tries too hard..comes off a little plastic and phony. I'm sure she is a very lovely person her acting is just off. I'm probably in a minority but I love Alicia Witt! She has seemed to grow and mature in her acting and it could be they are giving her more stories to showcase her talent better. Listen to her on spotify. Her music and command of the piano is very entertaining.

Yes. Not a fan of Lacey or Danica. I do like Alicia Witt, Jessie Schram, Jill Wagner, Nikki DeLoach and several other leading ladies. I'm good with most of the leading men, especially Kris Polaha, John Reardon and Andrew Walker except Damon Runyon, Steve Bacic and one other whose names escapes me.

Yeah, this is dicey. I'm fine with the leading men, especially Brennan Elliott, Christopher Russell and Kevin McGarry. That being said, I can't stand the endless side eye flirtation of Jen Lilley or any aspect of Lacey Chabert. I'll watch Wedding Veil for the rest of the cast despite Chabert.

I prefer Mystery movies with romance added to it. Stop all these Christmas movies. Create Christmas Mystery movies. Something new is always nice. 101 Mystery movies are my favorite.

Please give us mystery…you can have mysteries with each season, but give us the mystery movies and shows!

I'm VERY DISSAPPOINTED THAT YOUR HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION OF ANYTHING TYLER HYNES

I will not be caught again if Mystery 101 doesn't resolve whatever happened between Travis and Amy! Don't use me!

Would rather see any of these than the screetchy voice who has her incepid smile even when a murder has happened Candace Cameron Burea. I no longer watch anything with her in it. Done with Hallmark when they cast her. Love all 3 in the new trilogy.

I think Kelly Pickler is the absolute worst actress ever to walk this planet. She needs to go.
