Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel Cozy Mystery Movies – September 2020

September is here! I’m putting together this blog entry on a day in August when the temperature here in San Antonio is scheduled to hit 105° so it’s hard to believe September is already here! I hope this finds you ALL safe and well. 

Making up the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel’s monthly Cozy Mystery movie blog entries has become sort of odd for me. Since the channel hasn’t shown anything new for the last few months, I guess this entry is for people who either missed the movies when they aired before OR for people who enjoy re-watching the movies. (I read somewhere that Candace Cameron Bure and Marilu Henner have been quarantining in Canada so they could start working on new Aurora Teagarden movies – so here’s hoping there will soon be a few premieres!)

This month the channel will be showing the following shows during the day: Magnum P.I., Matlock, Perry Mason, Diagnosis Murder, Monk, Good Witch, and Murder, She Wrote. Here are the Cozy Mystery movies they will be airing this month:
