Hallmark Christmas Movie Schedule 2019

October 6, 2019

As I mentioned in an earlier post, the Hallmark channels are starting their Christmas season in October this year. When I started getting this list together I thought I had made a mistake because the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel’s Christmas movies will be airing on Thursday and Friday nights, rather than the previous years when they aired on Saturday and Sunday nights. I am guessing that they have decided to alternate the nights (keeping the Hallmark Channel’s Christmas movies on Saturday and Sunday nights) so that those of us who enjoy watching the movies “live” can do so. I prefer watching them once I’ve DVR-ed them, so I can skip through the ads… (Also, I know these movies aren’t mystery movies, but I have many people who request that I post these yearly Christmas movies lists.)

TV Nancy Drew is Back!

October 4, 2019

That’s right? Nancy Drew will be sleuthing up a storm on the CW network starting this month. It should be premiering Wednesday, October 9 (2019). The show will feature Nancy Drew – a fictional character created by author “Carolyn Keene” (aka Mildred Wirt Benson). A lot of us can remember reading Nancy Drew when we were a bit younger.

Nancy will be played by Kennedy McMann and Scott Wolf will be playing Nancy’s father. From what I read in the promotional information, Pamela Sue Martin will be guest starring in the pilot this coming Wednesday night. (Pamela Sue played the intrepid sleuth back in the 1970s TV series.)

There should be plenty of suspects, witnesses, culprits, and mysteries coming our way very soon! However, according to Stephanie Savage, the show’s executive producer, this will not be a show aimed at young girls and boys. Nancy will not be the 1930s Nancy that “Carolyn Keene” wrote about. This will be a more “adult version” of the Nancy Drew character.

I wasn’t sure if I had the CW network, but found out that I do. It’s a very simple process to find out if you do too: Go to cwtv .com and once on their main page, there is a “Find Your Channel” box in the upper right corner. Click on that box and then enter your zip code – and your local affiliate should pop up. 

P.S. My husband and I haven’t gone to a movie theater in years. We prefer watching movies at home, so I’m usually very late finding out what movies are out at theaters. When I told my husband about this new Nancy Drew TV show he told me about the Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase movie which came out in March of this year. So, of course, I’m adding this to my movies-to-watch list!

Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel Cozy Mystery Movies – October 2019

October 1, 2019

Can you believe it’s already autumn? I surely can’t! Here in San Antonio we are still experiencing temperatures in the 90s! Regardless of the weather, autumn seems like a great time to sit back and relax while watching a favorite Cozy Mystery movie. So here goes:

It looks like the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel is continuing with their same daytime TV show roster which includes shows like Columbo, Diagnosis Murder, Hart to Hart, Matlock, Monk, and Murder, She Wrote. So, there’s no change there. I have listed the Cozy Mystery mystery movies they will be playing this month. The good news is that there will be two new Crossword Mystery movies as well as a new MatchMaker movie during October. Also, for those of you who enjoy watching the Christmas movies on this channel, you’re in luck! It looks like the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel officially opens their Christmas season in October. I will be posting a new blog entry with the list of all 40 of their NEW Christmas movies a later this month.
