I've decided to skip this - I think I'd rather watch "Night Swim" off Peacock (in Glorious 4k!?!) tonight.

But a Lifetime flick not starring anyone I care about (or have ever heard of!) counts heavily against subject matter that I also am not interested it! IOW: pass!

I like Hudon, but even the ads make this look dreadful. (IOW, there's no way to make Niagara look "good"!!)

What Would You Do?      (season 16 finale)       (10 pm, ABC)

Not watch this dreadful show!!

 Have UPtv and Hallmark Mystery given up on Sunday nights?

UP is like Ion in that its (new) movie releases seem *very* seasonal - IOW, they do ("new") movies around Christmas time, and almost no other time throughout the year. (UP may do a few movies at other times, but it's rare.)

For that matter, has Hallmark Mystery had any premieres since the name change?

A few. But very few.
When Hallmark lost most of their headliners to GAFfe channel, it obliterated their mystery movie series, and Hallmark Mystery mostly got out of doing them as a result.
They tried to launch a "Aurora Teagarden" mystery "reboot" with Skyler Samuels, and one or two other new "mystery" series, but I'm not sure any of them got beyond *one* initial movie (which isn't much of a "series"!!)

Their website says they have a premiere on Friday night:
 https://www.hallmarkmystery.com/curious-caterer-foiled-plans

OK, so that answers that - the new Nikki DeLoach mystery series got past one movie.
But I don't think any other "new" mystery movie series have...

And they are Hallmark Mystery, not Hallmark Mystery Channel as I was thinking.
