Hallmark tv movies- women (most are blond) all have long hair, skirts barely to mid-thigh

Seems like same group chooses hair styles and clothing for all the movies.

(Recently been watching a lot of these movies on youtube. Skirt length is worse than the old mini.)

1. interesting

This is a channel which (I thought) caters to women. Is this how we like to think of ourselves? I've noticed that in a lot of tv shows, women who have serious and important jobs often dress/wear their hair in ways I think of as kind of silly and impractical--long wavy hair that's beautiful but that requires serious daily maintenance and (to me, anyway) embarrassingly short/tight skirts. Or maybe I'm just old and this is what serious career women look like these days. Although, watching cable news, the female legislators I see do not have these prom-queen hairdos; I can't tell how long their skirts are.

2. Some of the movies are mysteris which are nice.

And, yes, except for one with Brooke Shields they all are blondes, look alike.

What really bothered me was one of the series is made after a book series. In the books, two of the characters are slim and blondes, but the heroine is often referred to as a big women, with red hair. The mother has black hair. No matter, everyone there is the same that it is difficult to separate the characters. Tried to watch it once, lasted five minutes and that was it.

3. That's the least of it!

Accomplished woman finds her life incomplete without a man. I think they have one script outline, and plug in a location/setting/ season, then work out the lines in a big table read.
I like to see how well they can squeeze a buck by cutting down on extras, vehicles, etc. Oh, yes, bobbieinok, that goes for the costume department, too.

5. Holly Robinson Peete isn't blonde

Not that I watch Hallmark Channel movies. Sometimes they are on, and I just happen to glance at the TV.

Don't ask how I know how all the mysteries end

I assume you saw the Hallmark Christmas movie drinking game?

9. She would be, but she dyes her hair

True fact.

6. 1 really pretty good movie Fake Fiance. Female not cardboard thin, male not prep school guy

Actors very well-known, but I had not seen them before. (I don't watch lots of tv shows, and they've been in several series. IIRC he's Joe Lawrence; she I think was the lead in Sabrina).

The Teagarden librarian series movies were ok, but I'd read the books a few yrs ago and had liked only a few of them. It's interesting that the author also wrote the southern vampire series that the HBO series True Blood was based on. I had also read most of those books until they got to be too much to take any more.

I can take the long hair but it gets old if everyone has such long hair. The skirts just look silly and so tight they would be pretty uncomfortable to wear for very long. Especially since many movies were Christmas ones with snow on the ground. How unpleasantly cold that would be in real life.

Watching the hallmark channel on purpose?

10. Movies are relaxing. On utube no commercials. Sanctuary from real world.

11. If you play this game, have the Uber or Lyft apps handy.

13. I will admit I watch the Halmark Christmas movies, because everything looks SO pretty!

the lights, the decorations. IIRC in those movies women wear pants mostly.

I know the plots are stupid, but the movies take place in NYC, or some little town out of a Christmas postcard. It's so different from my reality. How I'd love to spend Christmas in such lovely places!
