Corny and contrived, A Season For Miracles is certainly not Hallmark Hall of Fame’s finest two hours. Set at Christmas time in a Southern town called Bethlehem – I guess signifying a place where miracles happen – the producers would have done well to watch a segment or two of Touched By An Angel. The teleplay does address themes concerning forgiveness, anything is possible, and family unity, but although Auntie Emilie keeps saying lying is wrong, she continues to do it, professing no other option. Patty Duke, a guiding angel, surfaces every twenty minutes or so as a waitress, clerk or bartender, to solve a problem – by hook or by crook. Ms. Duke is a seasoned professional, but as written, her angel lacks much depth, sincerity, or charm. Rather than the quality we are used to from Hallmark, this is like TV as usual – time filler. Well, at least the commercials will move you.
