Well, you would think the weather is getting nicer… and it might be where you live… but here in San Antonio, aka the Land Seasons Forgot, it is still at least 90 degrees every day lately. So I hope the rest of you are enjoying the beginning of Fall, but out here it looks like we’ll be indoors and enjoying tv mystery movies for a while longer!<\/p>\n
I’m posting the Turner Classic Movies<\/strong> channel mysteries that I think are definitely worth looking at (plus some others from my favorite actors and actresses…) The biggest marathon this month for mystery fans is the Torchy Blaine<\/strong><\/em> series on the 21st. There will also be a lot of Christopher Lee films this month, including marathons of both the Fu Manchu<\/strong> <\/em>series and the Dracula<\/strong> <\/em>series. I’m also a fan of the Dr. Kildare<\/strong><\/em> series, which will be showing on the 7th – while not a mystery\u00a0series, I do enjoy this series very much.<\/p>\n I’ve been having even more trouble than usual lately trying to keep up with the Hallmark Channel’s mystery schedule. So I’ve decided to at least highlight their upcoming big movie premiers going foward (though in this case I’ve already discussed these in greater detail in another post<\/a><\/strong>). I hate to do this, as I know some people really enjoy looking at the Hallmark material, but it is just so much work considering how Hallmark doesn’t really schedule an entire month at a time.<\/p>\n ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 7:15 AM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 3:00 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 12:30 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 7:00 AM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n 2:30 AM 1:45 PM 4:30 PM ***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n *****Dr. Kildare Marathon below is not a mystery series.
