[Ervserver]

excellent! now since I don't have this channel I need to get Elfworks to record all these programs for me

[dominick]

Awesome! I know all too well that they don't have it on their site yet.

[Christy Carol]

COOL!! Now we are in the know. I still see Potter on it but I am thrilled to see Polar Express. I went to see that at the movies with a friend of mine, her 12 year old sis and 12 year old niece and I think I enjoyed it more than any of them. Glad to see some new movies on there too. Come on Dec. 1st

[dominick]

I love Polar Express, too. When I bought it last year I didn't think I'd like it, but I was blown away by some of the animation.

[Christy Carol]

Me too!! I think I spend most of the movie leaning forward in my seat with my mouth wide open. Esp. the last half of the movie.

[Ervserver]

Animation in movies like these are spectacular

[Mat Laz]

Awesome, that sounds great!! A week before Christmas in Australia Channel 7 play Christmas movies at 12 pm everyday leading up to Christmas. Oh and of course there are the carols such Carols In The Domain and Carols By Candlelight that are on T.V. I can't wait till Christmas!!

God Bless,

Matt

I still cant wait for the site to have it, i print it out every year and set it on the coffee table. thants the only tv guide you need during december

[caseydbell]

all my favorite shows are not on this year: barrowed hearts, the christmas list, the andy dick movie (I forgot the name) and others, this kind of stinks :( :sad:

[Ervserver]

email them and express your disappointment

[silver bells]

I've got my calendar marked with the nights that I want to watch. I have most of the Christmas animated shows on DVD but I'm excited about the new movies and Polar Express. I just don't get why they include Harry Potter!

[RavenHardt]

woohoo...thank you so much..had to bookmark that

[HomeLights]

That was last year Casey. Try the new movies... they sound good too!

[Christy Carol]

I think they should remove the Potter movies and add back in the ones that Casey mentioned. I really like Special Delivery (that is the Andy Dick movie). But I bet if you looked real hard you will find them running on other channels.

[Ervserver]

I'm not a Potter fan but as long as they have a good mix of shows I'm ok with it

[caseydbell]

Thanks for the title, I know your right. Hallmark always has good shows.

I tried to get it to look good BUT it looks bad SOrry :(

Are you SERIOUS?? How can they NOT show this? It is a Christmas tradition! What a bunch of losers. Someone dig up their address and lets start a mass email. We will email them each day threatening to boycott. (You dont have to tell them you dont have ABF Family!)

[HollyJells]

Ok OK chill, I do believe that the christmas classics they refer to showing on 2 weekends will include the little drummer boy and some of the other stop animation shows you all are looking for. Just be patient. They are running those other shows due to the fact that YOUNGER audiences are how they seem to be gearing the programs. Send them some feedback and let them know what you want, I am sure that on Christmas EVE and Christmas DAY they will be showing things like crazy.

[Ervserver]

OK ok I'm calmed down...mmm eggnog gulp

[megarrick]

Does anyone remember the ABC Family movie from last year that was about a little girl whose parents were getting a divorce and two detectives came to the town and found clues all around them in paintings and then they found her in a little cabin in the woods....does anybody remember the name of this movie...or even remember it at all???

:-o

[whitexmas]

borrowed hearts is really good. Maybe it'll be on the halmart channel.

[whitexmas]

[HollyJells]

Thu 12/14 7:00 pm The Little Drummer Boy

It is called A Town Without Christmas starring Patricia Heaton and Peter Falk. Only one of my most fave tv Christmas movies!

Only they weren't detectives... Patricia Heaton was an investigative reporter and Rick Roberts is an out of work writer returning to his hometown for Christmas. Peter Falk plays an angel named Max. Excellent movie.

[HollyJells]

No, on abc family channel. I thought I had seen it on there and I went back and looked for you. Oh by the way, the ROckefeller tree will be lit on Nov 29 check local NBC listings for it, i have no clue who is gunna light it or who is performing that night BUT i have not missed a single year of the tree being lit in almost 15 years.

[Ervserver]

they light it same day every year?

[Christy Carol]

It used to be the first Wednesday in December.

[Christmas Angel]

We went to to see the Polar Express in Imax 3D. It was amazing. The dvd doesn't even compare.

[Ervserver]

Imax is cool

[dominick]

Where ya' from, Angel? The IMAX up here doesn't look to be showing the Polar Express.

[HomeLights]

last year it was like Dec 5th I think. Earlier this year.

[henrikson106]

I have a question for everyone...last year my g/f & I were watching an abc family original movie that was a part of the 25 days of christmas. She wondered if it was going to be on this years schedule...the only problem is that she does not know the name of the title...go figure. All that we can remember about the film is that it involved a chief running his own resturant (which was going bankrupt) and a girl that he is falling in love with, who is a famous food critic. Of course it takes place in a city...thinking new york. What is the name of this movie?? Is this movie going to be on the new schedule?? Or will it be on another station like Hallmark?? Thanks. :wiggy:

[Ervserver]

no idea, will ask around though

[Christy Carol]

Good chance I have it recorded. Can you tell us any other clues? What time period was it set in? Remember any of the actors/actresses? Any little thing might job my memory.


**edit

This is the lineup for last year. Didnt see anything on it that matches what you are looking for. Are you sure of the channel?

http://www.abcfamilynet.com/docs/2005/11/25DaysofChristmas05fnl.doc

[henrikson106]

Thanks for everyone's help...but I remembered an actress in the movie. Christine Baranski from the Birdcage, played the mother of the main character...so I went over to IMDB.COM & checked her filmography and found the movie, Recipe for a Perfect Christmas.
It was told to me that it was apart of the 25 Days of Christmas last year...but as Christy Carol (thank you) showed me in her link to last years schedule...the actress poped in my head and then the search began.

So again, thanks to Christy Carol & Ervserver for their efforts.

By the way, if anyone is interested in this film my g/f highly recommends this film... Recipe for a Perfect Christmas (2005) will be airing in the US Thursday December 7th @ 9:00 PM on the LIFETIME channel.

:wiggy:

[Christy Carol]

You are welcome! Glad you remembered!! :)

I will check my holiday specials list I have printed out from somewhere on here. I bet it is listed!!

[kidzrme]

:D I REMEMBER THAT MOVIE, AND I WILL WATCH IT AGAIN THIS YEAR. I RECOMMEND IT TO EVERYONE. :)

[sugarplum fairy]

What was the name of that movie starring Andy Dick? It was about a baby being adopted and he loses it. It was good. Is it going to be on this year?

[Christy Carol]

Its called "Special Delivery" and I havent seen it on any lineups this year.
