I actually watch a fair amount of the Hallmark Channel. They have decent movies that are good to watch with family. There's a series about women in the Old West days, such as "Sarah Plain and Tall" with Glenn Close, and a series that has the blonde actress who used to be on "Grey's Anatomy". They seem to specialize in a lot of those Old West love stories were strong men and women try to make a life in hostile conditions, and thankfully, the modern sensibilities usually has those hostilities being more from greedy white men and the elements than from savage Natives. The movies are often predictable, even fluff, but they're fun to watch on a Saturday night snuggled up on the couch with the wife--who just loves that I will share time to watch a romance with her instead of the billionth airing of an ep of Star Trek.

ESPN once again held up Warner-Cable and Warner Cable backed down. Here the Hallmark Channel asks AT&T for a rate increase and AT&T kicks them to the curb - and there is NO outcry. I am an AT&T U-Verse subscriber but I never even know I had the Hallmark channel. Downside: apparently I am going to be unable to see "The Martha Stewart Show" which is moving from syndication to the Hallmark Channel. Bummer. ~rave?
