If you have a TV, you've no doubt run across the Hallmark Channel. Heartwarming, family-friendly programming to cuddle up with by the fire.
The Hallmark "Hall of Fame" collection defines this dream world. Drippy made-for-TV drivel filmed for people living in fantasyland. Sort of the Waltons TV show on steroids - enough syrup to choke a horse.
Made-for-TV movies on Syfy are more curmudgeon speed - plenty of cheesy special effects, otherworldly illusions, aliens, giant beasts (and hopefully giant breasts, let's be honest), entirely predictable plots - the stuff that makes for good TV.
Heartwarming? We curmudgeons cringe at the very thought.
