I’ve gone through both the Turner Classic Movies<\/strong> channel and the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries<\/strong> channel schedules for May 2016 and here are the mystery movies I was able to find. I also posted a few movies that don’t qualify as mysteries, but I think they’re so good that I wanted to make sure you know about their air dates\/times.<\/p>\n

I don’t see any new mystery movies premiering on the Hallmark M&M channel, but maybe at the end of the month, when they (finally!) update their schedule, I’ll find some. \u00a0I do want to mention that TCM will be highlighting Mother’s Day<\/strong> on May 8 (Sounder <\/em>and I Remember Mama<\/em>) and during the Memorial Day weekend<\/strong>\u00a0they will be airing all sorts of patriotic movies for us to enjoy.<\/p>\n
