Yeah that’s the point. They have three major stories and they just change out the place, main characters and that’s it. That is why it’s so calming.

I used to work very high stress jobs. I’d come home and only want to watch really stupid comedies. It’s the mindlessness of it all that keeps you balanced.

Doesn't seem to bother CNN — or AT&T, which owns it — in the least.

Obviously, their financial health doesn't depend on the size of their US audience, and their owner doesn't see its mission as reaching the largest possible audience in the United States.

Your summary is spot on. I’m a conservative female and I can’t stand to watch the Hallmark Channel. I despise corny “female” films and Christmas movies. I know I’ll get a lot of grief over that one.

Turner Classic Movies is much better.

I wonder what percentage of CNN viewers are in airports?

If a lot of your Leftist-owned businesses didn’t play CNN on their waiting/dining-area TVs, CNN’s rating wouldn’t even be as high as they are now.

I still wouldn’t watch them

I don’t watch the news on Fox. They have become unbearable

Looks like CNN’s sponsors will have better luck on the cartoon shows.

Neither seem to be doing well

Cable news, cable *anything* lately is getting crushed. Thank God. So many of the Fox cadre (VIP, management & reporter level alike) are never-Trump|Swamp|Deep Statists.

In the final fifteen minutes, they realize they are each others SOUL MATE FOR LIFE.

Throw in some fake snow and a few Christmas trees (never mentioning Christ or anything real about Christmas) and you have their lineup for their three month long Christmas movie marathon.

From the time I was 18 years old until just a few years ago my duties were very high stress. Because of that my taste in movies is something many men would laugh at and I sure hate those stupid fight movies as well as anything like the Jason Bourne movies.

I like things that do not make me have to think a lot and I like happy endings.
