While Hallmark Channel is still quite new to producing original scripted TV shows, the execs still have to pay attention to ratings. Which TV shows are most likely to be cancelled or renewed? Stay tuned.
Scripted Hallmark Channel shows listed: Cedar Cove, Chesapeake Shores, Good Witch, Ride, The Way Home, When Calls The Heart, and When Hope Calls.
Last update: Ratings added for the most recent episode of When Calls The Heart.
There’s lots of data that Hallmark execs look at when deciding whether to renew or cancel a TV series but ratings are the major ingredient. Here’s an updated listing of all of their recent/current primetime scripted shows.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
A couple of notes about these charts:
These figures are updated automatically as new ratings are released (usually a day or so after the broadcasts). The averages are based on the final national numbers (live plus same day viewing). For technical reasons, I have to resort them manually so feel free to let me know if I missed something.
The demo numbers, which are typically most important to the broadcast networks, aren’t quite as vital to cable channels because their audiences are usually much smaller. Demo numbers are typically reported using the 10ths decimal place (2.4, for example). In the averages, I’m using an extra decimal for easier ranking.
What do you think? Are you surprised by any of the ratings? Which shows should be doing better? Which one do you think will be cancelled next?
I was very disappointed Christine Ferrare was fired. I did like Debbie as a cast member, I don’t care for her as a Co host…she’s too silly and immature and always seems to be over talking guests and other cast members. Re the other series, I’m disgusted Cedar Cove was cancelled…only one where the writing was entertaining by a favorite author…evèn though the novels were changed way too much. I wish the Calls the Heart series were cancelled…it’s sappy and goes on seemingly forever. Good Witch is great,, both the series and the specials. I have tried to get into… Read more »
Would love to see the ratings for Home and Family after the firing of Cristina! Never will be as popular with the new co host!
I LOVE Chesapeake Shores! Please renew for another season!! It is wonderful to be able to sit and watch a show with my family and not have to worry about content that is inappropriate. It’s a fun series and I really look forward to it each week. There are few shows out now of this quality and also good family values. It’s a great cast and fabulous chemistry. Please keep them on and let us see what happens next!!
Please renew Chesapeake Shores, such a great family show. Cast is great, story line wonderful. Bring Gramma back home safe! Love this show.
I love Chesapake Shores. The cast is great & the scenery is beautiful. You must do advertising about it. People don’t know about it. I love hallmark.
Home and Family got renewed for another year right about when Christina Ferrare was fired for praying at the last show in Dollywood (religious discrimination). They were taking advantage of that renewal to flip over to Debbie and hope people would learn to love Debbie and forget Christina in this year. People are leaving in droves. Look to see another shake up after the first of the year. They know people are leaving, they are hoping people will get over it and come back eventually. I think they are wrong.
We will NEVER get used to Debbie. She is the worst! This used to be my favorite show, but now it totally repulses me.
I so agree!!!!
My TV is always set on the hallmark channel until 10:00 each morning. Then I’ll pretty much watch anything til H&F is over. I’d rather have the weather channel on that listen to the fake annoying voices of Mark and Debbie. They have a constant competition on who can dominate the camera not only between them but also with their guests. How rude. Think Hallmark is making a big mistake not to fix this mess.
Very disappointed to see that cedar cove is cancelled. I was really into it, & looked forward to it each week.
I agree! I loved Cedar Cove! Please bring it back!
Cristina is now working with Maria Shriver @ MARIASHRIVER.COM. She is contributing a weekly food segment on Maria’s website. Maria has a video posted where she speaks about H&F. The only way to make this right is for HALLMARK to care about its viewers by BRINGING CRISTINA BACK but she gets to pick her Co-Host and the segment contributors! MARK is just as BAD as the H&F producers ~ backstabbers!!!
I like Mark as a co-host but but not with Debbie. She was annoying on the View and hasn’t improved with age. If I remember correctly, she didn’t last long on that show and hopefully won’t on this one either. If Mark wants to keep his job he’ll use any influence he has with Hallmark to get rid of her ASAP.
Christina was a wonderful Co-Host, Halmark will find this to be a large mistake. Your viewers will show you in a years time…
As regard to the co host Christina on Home and Family. I thought she did a great job and I am an older viewer. I couldn’t understand why she was on vacation and didn’t come back. She said they told her to stay home. It was my understanding that a contract was to be renewed. Did something happen with this. They did not agree on a amount of money or did her daughter Alex have something to do with wanting to be a regular on the show. My guess is something went down during the negotiations. And that’s why Christina… Read more »
I have stopped watch Home and Family, Christina was the person that made the show a normal group of people entertaining us. She was real, her personality was like the ‘person next door’. Sweet and kind to all. Mark looks like a fool co-hosting with Debbie. Debbie is to bubbly and perfect. Christina was so nice to Mark, kinda like a big sister, she teased him and always showed a real interest in all of the company. I am sure we have seen the last of Home and Family. The people in charge have made a huge mistake, it is… Read more »
Cristina was fired because Woody thought she was to old. They wanted to attract a younger audience.
I think I read somewhere that Cristina was having some memory difficulties and was parallel to there holding her age against her. The show without her isn’t bad just because of Debbie’s awkward personality but Marks inability to act professional. If you could watch old episodes you would see how adept Cristina was to smooth out his inappropriate chatter and jokes. The show needs 2 new hosts.
Sorry to say, I am not happy with the change in the co-host for Home and Family. Christina is such a classy woman. When I heard the reason for the change was because of her age, well shame on Hallmark. So older individuals can’t contribute to society? Who do you really think is able to watch the show but retired women or stay at home moms. Young Mothers always need the advice of an experienced mother and seniors have real life experience. We want Christina back. Show is not the same.
This message is for the Hallmark rating, why don’t you tell us what the ratings for Home and Family are now that thousands of us are no longer watching the show due to the way Cristina was treated ! I’m sure we’d find it very interesting.Be honest!!
They won’t share them with you because the ratings have fallen significantly. I get them, I have them and I see them. It makes me sad that it has come to this.
Hallmark “seemed”to be the last bastion of wholesomeness on tv.boy were we ever duped.duh.where is it filmed? Universal studios where every set is a facade .don’t blame debby.it’s the producer.we were taken in by the home &family image (mirrage)come on let’s get real,it’s hollywood.we thought they were real,and,christine was real.maybe that really irritated mark,he the phony one.im bugged at myself for falling into their deception,seriously though I hope christine never degrades herself with returning to hallmark.the whole bunch are pathetic .
Cristine was the best and unique. She made home and family the place we all wanted to be;
her age, her praying, her personality,
were all part of the program why we loved her!
For you younger producers this is what we call StarQuality and it’s very rare in Hollywood!
You lost a STAR the day you fired her!
It’s just my opinion which is only one person but it seems like there’s a huge consensus to support us as well based on the comments I’m reading.
There is no Home & Family without Christine Ferrare. I have tried but cannot watch anymore. Hallmark should beg her to come back, but I doubt she would. Hallmark you have ruined the best show on your channel
I used to watch Hallmark’s Home & Family Show every day. Then they removed some of the show’s family members: one of the cohosts, Cristina Ferarre as well as three other valuable family members. Not the same show I loved watching. Tried watching but just can’t hold my interest. Used to be a very classy, informative show to watch. Cristina Ferarre seemed to be the foundation of the show.
Who else is gone?
I know they got rid of Tanya Memme recently
Hallmark made a huge mistake when they fired Cristina Ferrare from Home & Family. She was the heart of the show, and it’s not the same without her. I no longer watch the show or either Hallmark channel.
when I retired three years ago, I started watching Home and Family. It was exactly what I was looking for to be able to watch while I drink my morning coffee and planned the rest of my day. I particularly enjoyed Cristina Farrare because she was the heart of the show. When she was fired the first part of the summer, I admit, I was upset, but it did try to watch. I found it impossible to make it through the two hours and finally just gave up watching. To me, and I have heard several others agree, it has… Read more »
