I'm not going to argue the point that the end was not what I was expecting. The key point was the whole season was setting you up to know Red was not well and was planning his death. He took care of everybody who meant something to him and if things would have gone according to plan Red would have rode off into the sunset to spend whatever time he had left Red's way. However the situation with Dembe changed this. He had to come back. When he shortened his life saving Dembe was the most touching moment of the series for me. But the soliloquy Dembe delivered explaining Red was the most dramatic performance of the series. He knocked it out of the park. This last season was the best in my opinion. A great show with everything wrapped up nicely. I loved how Red called Agnes one last time. One day a spin-off with her following in her moms shoes with Red's money would be awesome. With Dembe by her side.

Christmas Bedtime Stories
(2022 TV Movie)
Shocker ending ruins the film.
31 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This film starts out like the traditional Hallmark Christmas drama. A military widow and daughter are struggling at Christmas time with haunting memories of the lost husband/father. The widow is having a hard time taking the next step because so many events keep bringing back the memory of her husband. The circumstances of his death and his being the only body not recovered from the fatal mission has left a glimmer of hope in her but by all explanation given there is zero percent chance of his still being alive. She is struggling because she has become engaged to his wonderful best friend but her memories are ruining this relationship. She breaks off engagement suddenly and decides to take her daughter to the father daughter dance herself. While the daughter is enjoying the dance she wishes for one more Christmas with her dead husband. This is where it goes bad. From what appeared to be a dream sequence the dead husband appears at the dance in fatigues. Explains how he survived and now he is reunited with the mother and daughter. I keep waiting for the dream sequence to end and lo and behold he really is alive.
You would think the soldier actually being alive would be a good thing however it ruined the film. The way they had him return with no real warning was a shocking twist that you don't want to see in a Hallmark movie I end up feeling bad for her fiancé in the film. The real tragedy is that there are many people who have to accept the death of a loved one when a body isn't recovered and this will just increase their pain. I believe this is the only Hallmark movie I've ever watched that I wish I had not.

Roadhouse Romance
(2021 TV Movie)
One of the good ones
15 September 2021
I love Hallmark movies. They all usually have a similar formula however this one is one of the best one of these I've seen in a long time. First of all Lauren Alaina was a surprising delight. I figured a singer doing a hallmark movie wouldn't be much of an actress. She was surprisingly a good actress that brought a great deal of charm to the role. I don't watch American Idol or a country music fan but as a musician I can tell this girl is amazingly talented as a vocalist. When I saw the previews I thought isn't she a little heavy to be a hallmark leading lady. Her co- star in this is very slight of build and I thought that there would be no chemistry. However while watching she may not be a size one but her beauty really stands out. She is my new favorite, I'm sorry Jessica, Lacey, but we had a good run lol. This is a must see for all Hallmark movie fans.
Finally some answers

Gomer had no competition
16 June 2021
I know casting must have had a hard time finding a person who could sing as well as Jim Nabors and then lose a coin flip. Unfortunately they failed here because even though Gomer's friend could sing no one would say that it was a tie. Jim Nabor's voice was special. It has such depth of sound and power. The other guy had a decent voice but not special. Matter fact Mayberry had several better vocalists. Gomer, Rafe Hollister,and Glen Cripe.
Superman & Lois
(2021–2024)
Doesn't disappoint
26 May 2021
This new take on Superman is fantastic. People need to get behind it because as each episode gets better and better the ratings are dropping because of long breaks due to Covid. Tyler Hoechlin is amazing as Superman. He looks like he jumped right off the comic book.
Finally a great episode
15 May 2021
This is the best episode of the series to date

Anne must still be alive
6 May 2021
The only reason I can think they did not show what happened after Luz had the gun on Raymond is that they are faking Anne's death. If Liz wanted to kill him she could have. I guess eventually they will show the events that transpired after Red calls 911 for Anne. Much like showing that Keene was involved in this seasons actions even though they didn't have her in the show for several episodes.
This episodes cliffhanger is resolved in season 3 episode 19 Deathwatch.
22 April 2021
Really good cliff hanger that does not get a resolution until the 19 episode of season 3. Because of the network change it took some doing but resolving an issue when the cast had changed took some doing but is one of the better storylines of the series.
Best yet

Saved by the Bell: The College Years
(1993–1994)
This show deserves a higher rating
13 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Ok I am a die hard Saved By The Bell fan so of course I was gonna watch the College years. I watched it when it came on originally and binged watched it's only season today. It was a more entertaining show than the high school version. The gags were laugh out loud funny. The storylines were better written. Overall a really good series. Now when they knew they were cancelled and decided to end it with Zack and Kelly's wedding that part sucked. But it was a good show that was very entertaining.
Hoosiers
(1986)
One of the best sports films ever
30 June 2020
This movie is very inspirational and has been used for years by coaches to inspire their players if they ever find themselves in an important game or match in which the odds are stacked against them in a contest where the opponent is superior and has every advantage. This film inspires a team not to go into the contest psyched out.
She's a little mean to her love interest
28 June 2020
The one thing that caught my attention is when she has her date with the eye doctor he makes a cute flirty joke and she calls it lame. She's actually pretty unfriendly most of the date considering she had stood him up on their previous date. The date scene which was supposed to give the happy ending to the story left you wondering if she liked the doctor or not.
Surprised by Love
(2015 TV Movie)
Great movie
7 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This is a great Hallmark film. It actually has several laugh out loud moments in it. Tim Conway portrays a grandfather faking dementia that is very similar to the old man he played on several Carol Burnett skits. Paul Campbell is awesome in this. It's a definite one to watch. Another review I read said they never answered the question about who stole the Faberge egg well they must have fell asleep because they catch the dog stealing the fathers watch and realize that's what happened to the egg.
A Taste of Summer
(2019 TV Movie)
The woman wins again
7 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This is the classic Hallmark formula that has a romance between culinary rivals. This one as in most ends with a contest in which the female wins the competition. The only surprise was the male lead doesn't come in second or even third. I'm still waiting for one where the guy gets to win.
Autumn Dreams
(2015 TV Movie)
Wrong note in classic song
27 May 2020
I love Jill Wagner and this was an ok Hallmark but during the movie the classic tune Beautiful Dreamer was played on a piano and the played a wrong note. I thought maybe it was just a thing to make the player appear rusty. However later another character plays the same tune and plays the exact same wrong note. I am wondering did they play the wrong note because they didn't have permission to use it? I don't think one note changes the tune enough to avoid copyright infringement. Or the person in charge of the music just doesn't know Beautiful Dreamer correctly.
Falling for Vermont
(2017 TV Movie)
Watch the final kiss
19 May 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I agree this is basically the same plot as a Christmas movie with Cameron Matheson and Mira Sorvino so the only thing I want to point out. The final kiss on many are obviously not so good Especially Candace Cameron Bure who makes it known she does not like kissing anyone but her husband. However in this one is if you look really close at the big kiss at the end these two are for lack of a better word swapping spit. When they kiss and separate you can see a long spit string between them and when the go back in for the peck right after you see a smaller string break. I know this sounds gross but I noticed it the first time I saw it and if you pause and take it frame by frame it's kind funny.
A Cinderella Story: If the Shoe Fits
(2016 Video)
Sofia Carson is a true talent
7 May 2020
Say what you will about this film, it was a nice twist on the classic Cinderella that features an up and coming talent that has all of the factors your looking for in a star. She's stunning, she has a beautiful voice, and is a talented dancer. She was what made this movie special to me.
Blooper
28 April 2020
When the Navy doctor Lt. Chang is talking about all her attributes that she applied herself to she states she is "even a 250 bowler" When a bowler talks about their ability level they mention their average. The idea that she averages 250 is ridiculous. The top pros of all time do not even do this. I believe for the storyline they meant to say she bowled a 250 game which is way more believable.
You're Bacon Me Crazy
(2020 TV Movie)
Very predictable ending
26 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I know Hallmark has a lot of similar storylines and I really like the cooking ones however just once I would like to see the guy win the competition. This one like all the others has the woman win against the very capable but once again loser in the end of show comp..

Roux the Day: A Gourmet Detective Mystery
(2020 TV Movie)
Best of the series
20 January 2020
I love the gourmet detective series and was happy that they added another installment after a long break. Roux the day was the best of the series in my opinion. The relationship between Henry and Maggie is more developed and the mystery kept you guessing the whole time Hope to see many more in the future.
Supergirl is getting better and better
19 November 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Excellent episode. This season of Supergirl keeps adding more layers to the story. It's nice that Jonn can consult his father when necessary. And the scene with his brother was a tearjerker. Lena is making too big a deal out of her anger at Supergirl.
