Agree with all. Was sad to hear that Darrius didn't stick around. I was wondering how he was doing after the cute stuff last season with the vet tech stuff. Such a shame. I hope Richard will work out - he seems to bond nicely with the dogs.

I don't watch on iTunes, so I can't really answer you there. But besides the extraterrestrial episodes and the ones you listed related to the Vikings and Stonehenge, I think the other "new" episodes were old episodes that they either had new behind-the-scenes footage of or the game show type episodes, not actual new episodes.

I also saw them and enjoyed them.

I didn't read the books but read some other things online and thought But I actually thought she had more chemistry, at least early on, with Martin. I only saw friendship chemistry with Robin, nothing romantic.

When I heard cookie cake, I thought of this. It is what I have always known as a cookie cake, which I often got as a child to bring to school for my birthday (I'm lactose intolerant and many of them actually didn't have milk, unlike real cake).

I just got into this show. Wasn't planning on posting, but after reading this thread I got a bit confused about the storyline with El and her aunt. I guess I missed something or interpreted differently than everyone here (though I think my parents, who watched with me had similar thoughts as I did). I didn't see the aunt's phone call as being to Joyce or Hopper necessarily (again, unless I missed something that directly suggested she was). After what happened, I thought she was calling to turn her in to someone, whether the gov't people or social services or whatever. El overheard and knew she couldn't stick around, so she left very suddenly (while the aunt was making the call) and went to find the sister before she could be taken away. I think she would have stayed there longer if the phone conversation hadn't happened. So this would be another reason not to want to live there and why I didn't question her ending up with Hopper. Since I am apparently the only person who had these thoughts, maybe I need to go back and rewatch the scenes.

I didn't watch it this year, but I thought I did see it on the guide as being played.

This was retweeted by someone I follow on twitter. Sorry, can't link the exact tweet for some reason. But click the link - too funny. Actually by a writer from SNL Weekend Update; he must have contributed to the James Franco segment, seeing his knowledge of Hallmark Christmas movies.

This should be my last post about Thomas Beaudoin (at least until his Hallmark movie airs). I was talking about this movie and the Lifetime one with my mom, who had also liked him in The Spirit of Christmas, and how different he looked. In trying to show her, I found a couple of other clips of him on youtube with a cleanshaven face. First is this previous Lexus commercial, which I remember seeing and thinking the guy was very hot: and then an interview before The Spirit of Christmas. He doesn't talk a whole lot, but he looks really great here, too. He actually reminds me a little of Matt Bomer, lookswise, and that is a very high compliment from me. I think Matt is one of the most gorgeous men I've seen.

He still looks really good in some of the pictures. It is definitely a different look, though. Generally I'm not a fan of guys with facial hair, but he did look good.

Wow! I barely recognize Thomas Beaudoin (hot ghost from The Spirit of Christmas) in the pictures from his upcoming Hallmark movie. http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/love-on-the-slopes

Shoot. I wish I had read this in time to re-record. I just did a search and it looks like it won't be playing again. :-( I was disappointed in Christmas Cruise. I was liking it at the start but then it just went downhill for me. I won't detail the several things that made me start to dislike it, but I will just say that if these channels want to keep making characters writers/journalists, they need to be grammatically correct with the obvious things. It bugs when characters say, "Anyways" in general, but a writer?

The lead is definitely super perky, but she and Jesse worked together better than I thought. And it actually wasn't her trying to force Christmas on others - at least not the decorations. That ended up being I was glad they went that route instead of it being her or I would have been annoyed. She only really helped out when he asked for it to please his niece and nephew. I enjoyed this movie more than I expected to. Jesse's overly slicked hair bugged me, though. Who does that with their hair, particularly if he is spending most of his time home trying to write a book on a laptop? Also, that spray snow they use is ridiculous. I get so distracted by how it gets all over the actors' footwear and even pants. And Jesse went sliding in it twice.

Apparently it isn't zero tolerance considering http://ew.com/tv/2017/12/15/carter-oosterhouses-christmas-show-to-air-on-abc-despite-sexual-misconduct-allegations/

The shop also didn't seem that special to me.

There's also Duff Goldman, but he already hosts/judges a million Food Network shows and probably can't do something for ABC.

Same. I think Neal Bledsoe really helped with making the movie better, just like Rupert did with Crown for Christmas. He was good at playing the stuffy guy who was actually warm and playful underneath. Those sweet grins got me.

With all of our talk about CCB, plus some of us having mentioned how there should be more Hanukkah movies, this tweet by Samantha Bee amused me:

Agree with all. I was surprised I liked the daughter and her friend, but I actually did. When she is older, she could have potential in these. Tara Reid was terrible.

This is probably why I've never been tempted to visit any of the small towns (yes I know they are made up) while I'm super eager to go to NYC to see the holiday decorations. I've been to NYC plenty in my life, especially while growing up relatively close by in NJ. But we never went during the holidays to avoid the crowds. Maybe this would be a good year to go with overall tourism in the country down.

Sorry for the double post. Was trying to quote two separate comments and messed it up. Anyway - I agree Ingo cannot pass for 39 and definitely looks on the older side for this character. But the forehead wrinkles actually aren't indicative of age to me. I think that may be an inherited trait. My brother and dad both have those deep wrinkles/ridges in their foreheads. And they've always had it as far back as I can remember. I know my mom used to joke about it at least when my brother was in his 20s, and he's only in his mid-30s now. Their foreheads look better/worse depending on the facial expressions they are making, but it's a defining feature of theirs.

Agreed. I think I've had a post every year about how easy it would be to make a similar romantic movie with a Hanukkah backdrop. There's a lot of Jews in Hollywood, but I guess not a whole lot are in the mix at Hallmark or the companies producing the movies for the other channels.

Apparently he was in this other movie. I wonder if it was on PixL or something since I hadn't heard of it or seen it advertised. Based on the reviews I saw in another version of the trailer, he wasn't enough to save the movie.
