I'm debating. It's dick move and I'm not a streamer and I'm not exicted about paying extra. That said, I love this show and really don't want to wait longer to see what happens next.

While that’s funny, this is a fun forum about lists of 5. Your disdain for the current version of Hallmark is evident in every post you make. Can we keep this forum as intended?

While telling Kim about the new weight rule he tells her that the good news is they’ll be disguising the weight to stay on theme. I thinks it’s safe to infer that the big red bag of “presents” is the disguise

Quoting myself to add the 5th, Natalie Hall. I was originally thinking Rhiannon Fish because I hated her in the first 5 movies I saw her in (whales, bald eagles, photograph, the inn w/fake boyfriend, and something else). Then she did Norwegian Holiday which makes me sob and she was really good so now I can't hate her.

This one is a keeper for me as well. Marc Blucas is so dreamy. And I tear up at this one even though the female lead is not a favorite.

Here's my whine about tropes: 1. Inappropriate footwear. My # 1 peeve. The ladies can still look good in footwear appropriate for tromping through the snow instead of cute heeled-boots that are ridiculous when searching for a Christmas tree or running through the airport. 2. The forced fall/run-into-eachother-by-accident. Sometimes it's the initlal meet-up spilling coffee on the other while colliding on the sidewalk. Othertimes it's the stumbling off the ladder while hanging ornaments on the tree that forces the physical intimacy where they feel sparks. SO overused. 3. The other forced intimacy where the woman has flour on their face from baking cookies and he has to delicately and tenderly wipe it off and we're supposed to swoon. Only the best of chemistry can pull this off. 4. Despite the fancy mansions, not one kitchen oven has a timer on it. The cookies go in the oven and the next thing you know smoke is pouring out and the alarms are going off. 5. The give-us-the-best-markieting-pitch-and-you-win-a-job-over-your-rival. If that's how HR at your company work, epic fail. The ONLY movie this worked in was 12 Dates of Xmas (Tyler Hynes and what's her name) when it ended up actually being based on proven track record of performance and right personality for the job.

I don't know what the Venn diagram of Psych viewers and Hallmark Channel watchers is, but there's a lot of overlap in the casting due to Psych doing a lot of filming in Vancouver. It starred Maggie Lawson, has Sage Brocklebank in a support role appearing in about half of the episodes, and had a multi-episode arc for Rachel Leigh Cook. Here's a list of the actors I've seen in both - Ali Liebert, Ben Ayres, Peter Benson, Cory Sevier, Pascale Hutton, Brook d'Orsay, Ashley Williams, Lori Loughlin, Cindy Busby, Bruce Davidson, Steve Bacic*, Vanessa Lachey, Gregory Harrison, Corbin Bleu, Teryl Rothery***, Sara Rue, Dylan Neal, Lauren Soltis**, Patrick Sabbongui, Greyston Holt, Lochlyn Munro. In addition to all those listed by name, there were a number of other recognizable faces - you know, the ones who play dads and moms and bosses and doctors and neighbors and what not. * Steve Bacic. I really like him, why isn't he in more movies? ** Lauren Soltis. She plays the mom or the evil boss in what feels like every other movie. Most of the time I don't like her. *** Teryl Rothery. I always enjoy her and she was so cute in Psych, my first time seeing her young that I recall. Aging beautifully too. Re: Melissa Joan Hart. She did one on Lifetime called Dear Christmas that I really love and have saved on my DVR.

Holiday Crashers was for me the best movie to far this year...... on par with Haul out the Holly from last year, which was second only to Three Wise Man and a Baby. I'm disappointed not too many other people liked it. It was different and fun, had unforced diversity, and good comedy thrown in. the Amazing Race one was enjoyable but could have been better. Ashely was missing her signature maniacal grin, which was a great improvement, but I kept thinking how fun it would have been if it had been an Arielle Kebbel (sp?) reunion. Perhaps the chemistry would have been better. Not to mention, this featured one of my pet peeves, inappropriate footwear. Ashley was running around in heeled boots - chunky heels not spiked - but as usual ridiculous and stupid. That aside it was a fun concept and otherwise well executed.

Least faves: cindy Busby Erin Cahill Ashley Williams Jill Wagner

I'm hoping someone can help me find the title of this movie. I watched it once but don't remember what its name was, and when that happens, I usually just go to IMDB and look up one of the actors I remember and back into it. In this case, I don't remember a single actor's name as none of the usual suspects was in it. The movie had a mostly black cast. I was a woman who lives on a dairy farm and she had a white cowboy/horse trainer/horse whisperer neighbor and somebody was sending her secret love letters to her mailbox. Let me know if that sounds familiar. Thank you Chitown for the answer.

Adding a couple of favorite Christmas movies I didn’t see listed - the Christmas Card; so many things to easily criticize but i love it anyway - two Allison Sweeney movies, Good Morning Christmas with Marc Blucas and Open by Christmas with Brendan Elliot - not a Hallmark movie but Dear Christmas with Melissa Joan Hart and Jason Priestly, i think it was Lifetime

I don’t think I could watch this show today. Back then I knew it wasn’t realistic but it was idealistic. It allowed me to believe that it was possible and gave me hope that if things were just a little bit different it was plausible to have people of this integrity leading our nation. I no longer believe that. After one man became President and turned the White House into a nightmare worse than Veep could have dreamed of I’m far too cynical and jaded to believe anymore.

I don’t remember how I knew about the show but I did watch it from the beginning and later bought the DVD set. What I do remember is that searching for some TWW info on the internet led me to TWOP……and here we are.

His & Hers. Cute movie best part was who Lacey’s character was previously married to. If you blinked you missed it.

Very few of the newer actors appeal to me but the stable is aging. It’s time to stop playing the “this is my first real relationship” nonsense. examples of ages - victor Webster 51, Andrew Walker & Paul Campbell 45, Wes Brown & Brendan Penny 42, Brennan Elliot 49, Kavan Smith 54 lacey Chabert, Brook D’Orsay 42, Julie Gonzalo 43, Jen Lilley & Taylor Cole 40, Rachel Lee Cook & Pascale Hutton 45 these are all per IMDB. No birth years listed for Erin Krakow, Kris Polaha, Ben Ayres, or Kevin McGarry.
