Good grief! To me it seems like we should already be in April, but it’s still only March! Every time Easter falls so early in March, I feel sort of odd. All the flowers have been blooming since the middle of the month\u00a0here in San Antonio and I know that if I still had my bird feeders out I’d be enjoying lots of little hopping-and-bopping fledglings. (Doggone those crazy house-eating squirrels! Why do they always insist on ruining everything for everyone else!)<\/p>\n
Back to the reason for this entry: Here are the mystery movies I have found that will be airing on the\u00a0Turner Classic Movies channel <\/strong>and on the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries channel.<\/strong>\u00a0So far it doesn’t look like we’ll be treated to any new mystery movies on the Hallmark M&M channel, but I’ll keep checking to see – once they put up the rest of April’s schedule. Also, I want to tell you about a movie that aired on the Lifetime channel during March. Donna McLean told us about it in a comment, and boy am I glad she did! I have tried to find out when they are replaying it on Lifetime, but it doesn’t look like they are (in the very near future). So, if you happen to get a chance to see Lifetime’s And Then There Were None<\/em> (a two part miniseries) be sure to watch it. It doesn’t follow Agatha Christie’s book to the tee, but it is good, and has some terrific actors. (It looks like it will be available on the Netflix disc option, so if you have that, you might want to add it to your queue.) It does show a little gore and sexual situations, so it’s not totally Cozy, but my husband and I sure enjoyed it. (If you have DirectTV, it is currently available on the Lifetime on Demand channel.)<\/p>\n If I were to recommend only one mystery movie airing on TV during April 2016, it would have to be Kind Lady<\/em><\/strong>, which will be airing on Tuesday, April 19. I just watched it last month and I absolutely loved it. Ethel Barrymore is terrific as the “Kind Lady”, and the rest of the cast is pretty terrific too! (Angela Lansbury, Keenan Wynn, Betsy Blair, Doris Lloyd, and Maurice Evans) I don’t think you’ll be disappointed…<\/p>\n ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 8:15 AM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 1:30 PM 7:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 7:30 AM 3:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 1:30 AM 2:45 AM 3:45 AM 7:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 8:30 AM 3:30 PM 5:15 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 5:15 AM 7:00 AM 8:30 AM 11:45 AM 5:45 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 2:00 PM 5:30 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 8:15 AM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 12:45 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 12:00 AM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 7:30 AM 8:30 AM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 5:15 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 2:30 AM 7:00 AM 9:15 AM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 5:00 AM 2:45 PM BW-66 mins, CC<\/p>\n 4:00 PM 9:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 12:30 AM 10:30 AM 11:15 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 1:15 AM 3:30 AM 7:00 PM 11:45 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 4:45 AM 6:45 AM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 6:00 AM 7:15 AM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 2:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 2:45 AM 4:15 AM 11:30 AM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 11:00 AM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 11:45 AM 11:45 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 1:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 12:15 AM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 1:15 AM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n (All of the above TCM descriptions were copied from the TCM site.)<\/p>\n ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 12:00 \u2013 2:00 AM 2:00 \u2013 4:00 AM 4:00 \u2013 6:00 AM 6:00 AM 8:00 AM \u2013 12:00 PM 10:00 \u2013 11:59 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 12:00 PM 2:00 PM 4:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 8:00 AM – 11:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 6:00 AM – 11:59 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 12:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 12:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 12:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 12:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 8:00 AM – 11:59 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 12:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 12:00 PM 2:00 PM 4:00 PM 6:00 PM 8:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 8:00 AM – 11:50 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 8:00 AM 10:00 AM 12:00 PM 2:00 PM 4:00 PM 6:00 PM 8:00 PM 10:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 12:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 6:00 PM 8:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 12:00 PM 8:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 8:00 AM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 12:00 PM 2:00 PM 4:00 PM 6:00 PM 8:00 PM 10:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 12:00 PM 2:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 6:00 PM 8:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 2:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 8:00 AM – 11:59 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n (These Hallmark Movies & Mysteries descriptions were copied from the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries site.)<\/p>\n ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n The rest of us would absolutely love hearing about any more mystery movies they will be airing during April 2016.
