(All of the above descriptions were copied from the TCM site. There were a few mystery movies that appeared in my monthly TCM Now Playing that didn’t show up on TCM’s schedule online, so I didn’t add them to the list.)

If you know of any other mystery movies that are going to be aired on television during March 2014, please post a comment.

If you would like to see more Television and Movies ideas, click on this link.

These are the mystery movies that I have found which will be airing during February 2014. So far I have been able to find mystery movies that will be airing on both the Turner Classic Movie channel and the Hallmark Movie channel.

I have gone through TCM‘s Now Playing for February 2014 and see that there are a lot less mystery movies this month. The reason for this is that they are focusing on the Oscars, and are showing Oscar-related movies for thirty one days in a row. That’s a lot of really good viewing! But since I only focus (for the most part) on mystery movies, I won’t be highlighting all of TCM’s highlighted Oscar movies.

I want to let you all know that I have found some more television mystery movies that will be airing this month. I am not going to add these to the January 2014 Upcoming Television Mystery Movies list since some of you have told me that you print the lists as soon as I publish them in order to make them handier for you to set up your DVRs, which would mean you wouldn’t see these additions.

I know that some of you don’t have access to the Hallmark Movie channel, I’m sorry about that. But for those of you who do, all of these movies will be shown on that channel. I have listed them in my time zone: Central. (As you can see, adaptations of Mary Higgins Clark’s mysteries make quite a few appearances this month on the Hallmark Movie channel.)
