It's about the money. It is almost always about the money in these here United States of America.

I think companies are realizing that most people really don't care anymore. There are more people who just view this as another way to celebrate family...it has become so mainstream.

I think tattoos and colored hair used to get a lot of negativity and now, no one even thinks about them.

I don't watch the Hallmark channel only because I think it is a bit too sappy for me.

It's luke warm milquetoast and mushy..

@Charlene I think it sets up expectations that are far-fetched...woman loses husband and runs away to a ski lodge and just so happens to meet a man who is also lost his wife and they are perfect together in every way...sure...that happens a lot...

@thinktwice it happens to me whenever I go skiing..😀😀😀

Hallmark has always published pablum; it's surprising they tripped on a shoe.

That is very good news!
Hallmark is so mainstream. Their apology and their allowing the same-sex marriage ad back on TV is a major statement of acceptance engendering greater public awareness of how corporations should behave without bias.

It's as close to Wonder Bread as is humanly possible..

@Charlene Yes, Hallmark is that ... should have added they just increased public awareness of how corporations should behave without bias. Do not like Wonder Bread a bit, and rarely buy Hallmark.
