The Turner Classic Movies channel is beginning the month of May 2021 by showing movies that received Oscar nominations/wins. TCM has an interesting theme on May 5 which answers the question: how would you go about getting rid of a body? This is followed by several movies that take place in the court – I suppose trying to find out who got rid of the body that was “gotten rid of” by the culprit…

TCM will be showing several film noir movies on May 19 — which ought to be fun for a lot of us. And, as I mentioned, there will be court-themed movies as well. The court-themed movies will be aired on a few days of the month. I love it when the channel has theme days that are based on different types of mysteries.

The last three days of May the Turner Classic Movies channel will be airing Memorial Day-themed movies. I had no idea there were so many!

P.S. The above descriptions of the movies were copied from the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries website. 

This month the Turner Classic Movies channel is doing something that I don’t think I’ve seen them do before. They are airing movies that start with a specific letter of the alphabet each day. The first of April starts with the letter A, and so forth. If they have done this before, I missed picking up on it. They have had “theme” days before, but this is a new one on me!

If you’re really looking forward to these or other mystery-themed tv specials coming up in April, be sure to leave a comment below!

In case you’re interested in seeing the rest of this month’s television mystery movies, here’s the March 2021 television mystery movies schedule:

Upcoming Television Mystery Movies for March 2021 on Turner Classic Movies channel

And here is the page on my site with plenty of entries about movies and television shows you may enjoy:

Cozy Mystery List TV and Movie Section – all you have to do is click on the link to go to that page on my site.

March is finally here and I’m hoping the weather is a lot more “people-friendly” for all of us! I usually think of spring as being the months of March, April, and May – however, spring doesn’t actually start until March 20 (according to my 3-year calendar, although when I searched for it on the internet I found March 21 as the starting date).

Sunday the 6th will feature Kellie Martin Cozy Mystery movies. Her Mystery Woman movies will be aired first and then Hailey Dean will take over the sleuthing duties. Sunday the 14th Hallmark will be showing Aurora Teagarden movies all day, with the premiere of the NEW Aurora movie How to Con a Con. And, on Sunday the 21st a NEW Mystery 101 will be airing: Killer Timing. 

(I’m not quite sure if Signed, Sealed, Delivered is considered a mystery show, but I’m adding it to the list of Hallmark Cozy Mystery movies since there is usually an element of mystery in it.)
