> [@DCnDC](#): > > Who watches this crap? My wife; it’s mental/emotional comfort food. This year, in particular, she’s been bingeing on it for the past two weeks, after her father passed away. That said, the Hallmark channels have been getting really good ratings for those movies for the past couple of years – there are a lot of people who are seeking out that sort of comfort lately. ---

My wife watches them b/c they help her with her English without offending/scaring/disturbing her. Alas, I can not contribute to the list off the top of my head because I don’t watch them. Perhaps I can google one later. ---
