When Calls the Heart sale on Vudu, with $4.99 seasons or slightly cheaper if you buy them in bundles. The new shows Ride and The Way Home are $6.99.
Rachel Boston takes a turn for the dramatic in the generically titled The More Love Grows, in which she copes with separation. Still has her comedic moments, but not a bad job by one of my faves stepping out of her zone.
Napa Ever After I think I might’ve dozed through.
Great Smoky Mountains was the latest in the national parks series, and some historical info was the best part of it. I’m not one to pick on the acting in these, but it seemed unusually bad here.
Fourth Down and Love with Ryan Paevy and Pascale Hutton (who?) was actually pretty good, with some funny lines. It uses the trope of “pro coaches the kids,” but girls’ football gave it a bit of a different angle.

I'm really enjoying Hallmark movies being on Peacock. Not only do they have select movies and TV shows on demand you can also stream all three channels.

I keep forgetting about Peacock airing films basically a day after they aired on the Hallmark Channels, if my DVR starts to fill up to the brim with recorded Holiday films from Hallmark, GAC, Lifetime, UP, etc. (there are so many folks now airing Holiday originals) I can delete a film and just watch on Peacock. I might actually print out the schedules so I can keep it near my TV watching chair and make a mark near films that I need to watch on Peacock because I deleted from my DVR.
I think you still only get a long commercial in the beginning, or just a small number of commercials with the Peacock airing, which I bet is still less commercial minutes than watching on the Hallmark Channels.
Also, davidh777, good call on Fourth Down and Love, which was one of the better originals from the past several weeks, a film that I would continue to watch again if it started playing while I was futzing around on my tablet and just had the tv on in the background. If time permits, I would actually make the time to focus on a re-watch between now and the end of the year.
