Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Cozy Mystery Movies – May 2019

May 2, 2019

Well, it looks like the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel is switching things up! While I was looking through their schedule to post their mystery movies for May 2019 (which by the way, only goes to Saturday – May 25 because of the website’s unusual practice of not posting a schedule based on entire months) I found that they have decided to run reruns of old mystery TV shows (like Matlock, Monk, Psych, Columbo, Hart to Hart, Perry Mason, & Murder, She Wrote) all day and night during Mondays through Fridays. On Saturday they will be showing some of those old TV reruns but also showing reruns of their Cozy Mystery movies. Their new Cozy Mystery movies will be shown on Sunday nights at 8:00 (central time zone).

Without further ado:
