Hallmark television series and TV films

[OceanBlue]

First of all, I haven't selected a flag icon for this thread, as it will be about the North American and Australian DVD releases of Hallmark's various series of television films (Christmas, drama, murder mystery and romance). I can't see these getting Blu-ray releases by Hallmark (in North America) and Via Vision (in Australia), and at the moment it's getting slightly frustrating with how slow the more recent TV films are making their way to the UK (since the Christmas in July season finished on UK channel Movies 24 only one new murder mystery TV film (I like the murder mystery TV films the most) has premiered in the UK on normal TV channels (that I know of). It could be that Channel Five in the UK have the UK TV premiere rights to some of them (they showed the first three Crossword Mysteriess first).

Anyway, I know that these TV films have their critics (a few years ago, and with some critics here in the UK media, they had a reputation for being repetitive etc.). Speaking for myself, I find them a good alternative to the television series I watch. The murder mysteries are a good watch, and occasionly I don't guess who the culprit is. They are like a reliably, comfortable pair of slippers with an occasional slight edge (there is some threat, but nothing unpleasant (don't think I've described it well, but that's how I see it).

Note: This thread, like the North America sub-forum thread Hallmark on Blu-ray, is a trolling-free area. People who want to post about Hallmark's TV films and series should be able to without being afraid of or put off (directly and indirectly) by a minority of members. One bit of helpful advice I have (and something I try to stick to) is to switch off from and ignore troublesome posts. Trolling etc. and troublemaking is not welcome.
