I lost all interest in this show when they replaced India de Beaufort. I 
haven't seen a second of season #3.

One of those shows I might watch, if I had unlimited time. But I have 
much *less* time for TV viewing these days. Heck, it's rapidly 
approaching only about 1-hour of serious TV viewing a day right now!

It really shows how bad Hallmark has gotten/how far it has fallen that 
it has the unappealing Sweetin headlining a movie series for them.
