The thing I DESPISE about Hallmark isn't so much their too-many commercials, but their INCREDIBLY saccharine-sweet treacle they broadcast 24/7. The people are ALWAYS Central Marketting 1000% Red-Blooded American types, not TOO pretty, too Ugly, too old, or too young. Even the gotdam DIRT ain't "Dirty"... And its ALWAYS about a "Nice" girl, who's in love w/a Sap, but who eventually Sees The Light, & manages to Hook up w/the NOBLE Guy B4 the last Commercial. There are the USUAL types, a Cute Friend, a NOBLE Older Guy, an EQUALLY NOBLE Older lady, a grouchy but LOVABLE Crusty Old Pharte-I could play THAT one EASILY & a gaggle of ADORABLE Chilluns. They MAY belong to the Heroine, their Daddy was ALWAYS killed in the War, but the LOVABLE Guy thinks of them as his own. And they ALL dress like they were going to "Sunday-Go-To-Meetin' " ALL the time. Because these things ALWAYS turn out GREAT, the Cute Friend hooks up w/the Sap, but he foreswears his "Sappy" ways. Did I peg this pretty good or what ?!? I bet their writers-Who are often Jewish- couldn't do much better, since 99.9% of these things are Christmas centered/oriented. At least I'm Presbyterian..
