‘Tis the season for Hallmark Channel, Lifetime, and Netflix.

The two basic-cable channels and the streaming giant notoriously go in on made-for-tv holiday movies, and this yuletide time will be no exception. But just how crucial to their respective (and very different) businesses is this type of programming, this time of year?

For Hallmark Channel, as is the case for its namesake greeting-card business, December is truly a time to be merry. This year’s “Countdown to Christmas” will premiere 31 new holiday films on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Hallmark Channel’s primetime viewership in the fourth quarter of 2021 was 54 percent higher than in Q3, 62 percent higher than Q2, and 27 percent higher than Q1, according to Nielsen data. The first quarter comes closest to the last for a few reasons: 1) Christmas-movie catch-up viewing, and 2) Another programming stunt: “New Year New Movies!”

For Lifetime, “It’s a...

Fans are getting ready for upcoming cozy holiday films like A Magical Christmas Village, A Kismet Christmas, and Noel Next Door. Few television phenomena are as popular year after year as the comfort food that is the Hallmark Channel's annual slate of Christmas movies. For over a decade, millions upon millions of viewers have been tuning in to watch couples fall in love and families come together around the holiday season.

It's true that many of these movies recycle the same tropes and themes, but it's also clear that Hallmark has a real preference for certain cast members as well. From Luke McFarlane to Tyler Hynes and Ryan Paevey, fans often debate the most popular Hallmark male actor, and they all lend some holiday cheer and magic to each project. The best Hallmark actors always leave viewers with a smile on their faces.

Exclusive: Treat Williams is set for a key role in Feud: Capote’s Women, the second installment of FX’s anthology series from Ryan Murphy and Plan B.

An adaptation of Laurence Leamer’s bestselling book Capote’s Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era, the miniseries is set in the 1970s and ends with Truman Capote’s death in 1984. It chronicles the tale of the famous wunderkind author as he stabs several of his female friends — whom he called his “swans” — in the back by publishing a roman à clef short story called “La Côte Basque 1965” in Esquire in 1975. The piece was intended to be a chapter in Capote’s infamous unfinished novel Answered Prayers, his follow-up to the blockbuster In Cold Blood.

Williams plays former CBS head and media tycoon Bill Paley.

Beatty joins Tom Hollander who stars as Capote, Calista Flockhart,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Chesapeake Shores Season 6 Episode 9 “Spring Can Really Hang Up the Most.”] Chesapeake Shores is heading into its series finale with more to celebrate than not. In the penultimate episode, there’s a proposal, a baby is born, and a new business is about to take off. But there’s also some not so great news, with a family reunion still not getting the expected reaction and an O’Brien dream possibly being dashed due to a Marvel movie. Read on for the highlights. A Proposal After picking out a ring, Mick (Treat Williams) tells his sponsor, Ralph (Donald Sales), he’s going to propose to Megan (Barbara Niven). He knows it’s not recommended to get into a new relationship in his first year of recovery, but as he points out, they’ve known each other for over 30 years. This isn’t new. Mick is certain this is what’s...

There are several different ways that I analyze TV.

The first is that it's so demanding of attention that I must watch the next episode the moment I get it. Then, after I watch, I either need to write about it immediately or take some time to reflect. And then there are those shows or episodes that leave me without much feeling one way or the other.

This has never been a show that demands urgency in viewing, but that's Ok. However, Chesapeake Shores Season 6 Episode 9 left me relatively empty inside, and that's not Ok.

I'll be the first person to admit that my expectations increase as a series nears its end. There is a lot of story to wrap up before we say goodbye to characters we walked alongside for years.

But in this case, for all of the teases that happy endings are nigh, it feels like we're spinning our wheels.
