Re the Hallmark Channel, I've never seen it — hey, some guys are just lucky, I guess! — but as to it being repetitive, with formulaic plots, I bet it's comfort food for the ladies. Kinda like me reading Robert B. Parker or Lee Child.
I read some years ago, in a review about a book of advice for would-be authors, that there are only a few basic plots which successful writers embellish over and over again.
