My Quick Take:

I hope you all will enjoy the new season of "Blue Ridge."

From high-stakes investigations to pulse-pounding action and heartfelt family moments, it looks like season 2 will continue to deliver excitement at every turn!

Note of caution: Due to intense crime-fighting drama and violence, this show (in my opinion) is not for young viewers.

In addition to the incredible lineup of guest stars mentioned in the press release above, also be sure to look for Jesse Hutch (“Crossroad Springs”), Melissa Ordway Gaston (“Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries”), Nick Gonzales (“Christmas on the Range”), and Annabeth Gish (“The Warrant”) in season 2!

Hope you enjoy the show!

"Hannah Swensen" and "County Rescue" Are Back with a Fresh Batch of Mystery and Medical Drama


( click here to enlarge image )


Happy mid-May weekend, everyone! Check out what's on the menu this weekend!

The Hallmark Channel is serving up an all-new helping of suspense with Best Served Cold: A Hannah Swensen Mystery, where Hannah is once again mixing together her baked desserts and small-town sleuthing!

Meanwhile, over on Great American Family, the medical drama County Rescue returns with its Season Three premiere. Filled with faith, courage, and heartfelt moments, the series continues to follow dedicated first responders as they face personal challenges and their calling to serve others.

🚨Note: I watched the first episode of County Rescue early on Great American Pure Flix, and just wanted to share that due to the intensity of some medical issues and life-saving emergencies, County Rescue is (in my opinion) best suited for mature preteen age and up. This premiere episode is 1 hour and 30 minutes long (with commercials). It's intense and emotional, but also inspiring to see how these close friends, even when times are tough, care for and lean on each other.

See more details for County Rescue and the new Hannah Swensen Mystery below...

☀️ SHINING HIS LIGHT: ☀️

'For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’


~Matthew 25: 35-40

To Be Or Not To Be... New Hallmark Movie Filming with Shakespeare Theme



Well, look what’s rolled into London, Ontario! Local buzz is growing as a new article from the London Free Press reports that a Hallmark Channel production crew has officially arrived in town for their latest movie shoot.

According to the article, the film currently in production for Hallmark is titled Nothing But Love.

Earlier this year, it was announced that Ashley Williams would star in a project with that very title.

IMDb states that the story is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing and will feature Ashley Williams alongside Paul Braunstein, Lindura, Jennifer Dale, and more.

I'm not yet certain when this movie will air on the schedule. Could Nothing But Love be part of Hallmark Channel’s lineup later this Summer or Fall? We’ll have to wait and see.


Happy movie watching,

💐 Celebrate Mother’s Day Weekend with Movies, Mysteries, and the Must-See "When Hope Calls: Brookfield" Finale


( images: Great American Media / edit: itsawonderfulmovie.com )


Happy Mother's Day Weekend, Friends!

To all the wonderful mommas, grandmothers, and mother figures out there- thank you for the love, wisdom, and care you give so selflessly. Wishing you all a beautiful, joy-filled, and very Happy Mother’s Day!

If you'd like to watch something special with your family on Mother's Day, the "When Hope Calls: Brookfield" finale episode airs this Sunday night on Great American Family! After a season filled with tender moments, quiet longing, and a few unexpected surprises, all eyes are on Brookfield as some of our favorite stories reach what could be life-changing turning points. Will Mountie Michael and Nora finally find the courage to speak the feelings that have been building between them, or will Michael’s duty as a Mountie pull him away from Brookfield just when love seems within reach? And for Hannah and Wyatt or Sam and Maggie, what lies ahead for them... romance, heartache, or perhaps a little drama before the credits roll? However it unfolds, this finale promises plenty of heart, hope, and maybe even a few surprises along the way.

There's also a new Hallmark Channel movie, All’s Fair in Love & Mahjong, premiering this Saturday. I wanted to note that the film has faced a bit of backlash from some critics for focusing the story on a traditional Chinese game while featuring only one actress of Asian heritage in a supporting role. I would love to know what you all think. I'm not personally familiar with the game, but I know it is currently quite popular among people of all colors and ethnic backgrounds across the country. Please share your thoughts, and if you plan to watch in comments below.
