    GAC what a disappointment, they promised movies this year but so far only sitcoms . I’m constantly checking the schedule but no movies in the horizon.

      I agree! Hoping against hope that this will replace the now all famous Hallmark movie channel that is turning to totally woke! We (our whole families and their families) retreating to a pure entrainment & and escape from the bad and evilness surrounding us but since 2020 we noticed Hallmark started to creep in their woke ideas -which we were trying to escape from in the past years. All the forced relationships & characters being portrayed As “inclusiveness” but destroying the “relatedness” to most general viewers of Hallmark

        Each person is free to their opinion, but I can’t believe you you got 9 DVs. Keep up the good writing, Mar Rad.

      Why no new movies on weekends until Christmas? Sitcoms get old.

    When Hope Calls:
    Contemporizing 1915 Canada is
    Making the males from Adult to children wooses and incompetent.The are the women aggressive and competent ones.
    Even in 2021 America this is unacceptable. The show is obviously suffering for this tack.Bringing in When Calls characters and Lori and Daniel won’t save this show.Respect cuts both ways.

    I wish we had access to the GAC station, unfortunately we don’t. The Christmas movie list appears to have some good stories. The trend in television is too Hollywood for me.

    Glad to see that Debbie Matenopoulos and Cameron Mathison are hosting the “Welcome to Great American Christmas (Special)”. We liked them on the Hallmark Channel’s “Home and Family” show, which ended its run this past summer. And we’ll definitely be looking forward to watching the Christmas movies on GAC Family this year.

    Our family was happily surprised to see Bewitched on your channel the other night. We find that sitcom a very funny program and haven’t seen it for some time so when we were channel hopping and saw it, we tuned into GAC for the rest of the entire evening watching Bewitched. Thank you so much for airing our favorite all time program from the 1960’s and 1970’s. We will tune in for the Christmas programs now that we have the schedule. We hope your holidays and Christmas are magical!

    Thoroughly enjoying watching Bewitched back to back on GAC! It’s one of our families favorite tv shows ever. What a treat to get to watch Bewitched back to back! We’ve not watched one of our favorite shows in such a long time. Thank you GAC for airing Bewitched back to back! Sincerely, The Cazel Family
