Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel Cozy Mystery Movies – July 2020

OK – Sorry I’m so late in posting the July 2020 Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel line-up of mystery movies. However, I have a good reason for not rushing to post it. As it is July, a lot of you are familiar with the channel’s yearly decision to run reruns of their Christmas movies. However, this year it looks like things may be a little different. 

Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel will start the month with their Christmas in July line-up and then switch over later on in the month. During the day they will be showing their “normal” mystery shows like Hart to Hart, Psych, Diagnosis Murder, and Murder, She Wrote. They will also be airing reruns of their Cedar Cove and Good Witch show  (which aired on one of the other Hallmark channels) every morning for two hours.

Now, here comes the confusing part – at least to me it’s confusing! As I am posting this, it looks like the Hallmark M & M channel will stop showing Christmas movies on Monday, July 20. (Unless the person at the network who is in charge of their schedule messed up again!) So, I’m going to start posting the mystery shows as of that day.

Actually, it definitely looks like the person in charge of the Hallmark M & M scheduling is not taking her/his work seriously! Although the network currently has July 20 as the beginning date for showing reruns of their Cozy Mystery movies, they previously had the start date as Monday the 13th. So, apparently they will be showing reruns of their Christmas movies until Monday the 20th. However, I’m not holding my breath for the return of their reruns of Cozy Mystery movies since I have a feeling they will be changing their schedule to Christmas movies for the duration of July… and possibly some of August…)
