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?
PLEASE bring back Flower Shop Mystery!!! It’s my very favorite, and I felt viewers were just left hanging. I really enjoy all of the mystery series that Hallmark produces.
I use to love watching Hallmark movie and mysteries for the romance movies sometimes Hallmark can put some Christian movies on but now I’m very disappointed with Murder she wrote psych monk home and family last man standing diagnosis murder Frasier the golden girl cheers hart to hart matlock columbo psych all they do is come on over and over and over again this is just too much of the same sitcoms I’m looking for another show to watch that’s not going to show this every day and now murder she wrote comes on twice this is to much it’s… Read more »
I have been a viewer for years and lately whomever made changes to the program has made it dull, boring and reputations. It was entertains and educational and fun in the past. I am not a daily viewer anymore sadly.
Definitely agree, the show used to be a favorite, no longer. The hosts need to go?
I have loved watching Hallmark Channel during the Christmas season. Thank you Hallmark! And more especially have enjoyed When Calls The Heart. Even got my mother and sister to watch. PLEASE renew for a season 6!! I would give it a 10 star if I could!!
Please cancel Home and Family or replace both hosts.
I love Chesapeake Shores! I really want to see what happens with Trace and Abby next! Please renew!
I like watching Hallmark channel but, I believe you should include more diversity in you story lines . Other c, ulters fall in love also. I only see love between Caucasians on your channel. Love comes in all colors. Please consider the fact that all races and nationalities watch your programming.
I love the Hallmark movies, especially the holidays ones. But your movies and shows doesn’t have enough diversity. I feel that all cultures can play in happy endings stories also. It also helps children who watch this channel know that it’s not just one specific group that are the only ones who have a nice Christmas or love story. Let’s embrace each other .
Enjoyed your Halloween special, but really resent your season jumping adds – please, can we celebrate one holiday before being bombarded with the one approaching two seasons hence?
I want to mention one other thing, as I commented that I really want you to renew season 4 of Cedar Cove. I think you should complete a series. It’s awful to watch 3 seasons not knowing the story is not finished, then finding out there is a next season but it was cancelled. This isn’t network tv and while I know ratings matter, it’s not advertised the same as network programs. I never knew this was on Netflix or if it was on Hallmark, but how awful to not know how a story ends. And I’d say the majority… Read more »
I, too, enjoy Good Witch, When Calls the Heart, and now am enjoying Chesapeake Shores. Cedar Cove was okay, but moved too slowly, and don’t miss it. Also enjoy most all the movies. I record Home and Family, but do get annoyed with Debbie and sometimes Mark. Can’t figure out who runs the show! Debbie may truly be sincerely touched with some guests’ stories, etc., but really gets sappy at times. Orly seems to be more mature, and could easily replace her. I’ve learned a lot from the show, but see no real contribution made by Kym. Just a silly… Read more »
I quite agree with all you have said. My main gripe is with Debbie constantly talking over guests and interrupting them. Sometimes she is so annoying I mute the segment. I wondered if this show is scripted…….just wondering if it was , she would then know when it was her turn to speak!
I love Chesapeake Shores! Please renew it
I love The Good Witch, When Calls the Heart and Chesapeake Shores. Please don’t cancel them. There is really not much on TV anymore and I never miss these.
Can enjoy almost any of the hallway movies but the same ones are repeated too often. But have to ask when will they please cancel there current home and family show. They need to replace it with a good daytime DIY type of show. They used to have such a great show on and I could almost stomach mark when he had the classy Cristina to counter balance his huge ego. But the 2 that are hosting now are so annoying I give up trying to watch. Please figure it out and get them off the air.
I love all of the Hallmark mysteries!! “Garage sale, the wedding planner, Aurora Teagarden, flower shop, the bakery one” All of them!! Please bring back Brooke Shields, flower shop and the wedding planner. I look forward to watching all of them each Sunday!! Oh yes, gourmet detective too…
