Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel Cozy Mystery Movies – September 2019

September 1, 2019

OK, I know it won’t be official until September 23, but a lot of us think of the Labor Day weekend as the kick-off to autumn. And 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, Murder, She Wrote, Perry Mason, and Psych. 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 a new Darrow Mystery movie as well as two new Mystery 101 movies during September. (And, possibly another new movie, which they should be posting in several days.)

Sunday – September 1, 2019

Upcoming Television Mystery Movies for September 2019

August 25, 2019

Every year at this time I think about how neat it used to be when both of our children were home for the summer months. I was one of those parents who didn’t like it when they went back to school… the house always felt so quiet and lonely. However, every year at this time I also feel happy about (hopefully!) the weather getting a little more bearable down here in San Antonio. Good grief! The summer months down here have been pretty brutal! Hurray for autumn making it’s way to all of us!
