  This Friday May 19, Hallmark Movies And Mysteries will premiere the latest film in the "Hannah Swensen Mysteries" series, "Carrot Cake Murder". To celebrate the premiere, I have decided to rank the first six films in the series using the same ratings formula that I have used in my previous rankings. Please note that these rankings include both the "Murder She Baked" series and the "Hannah Swensen Mysteries" series. Author's Note: The rating for "A Plum Pudding Mystery" is based solely on its IMDB rating, as I was unable to find a viewership total for that film.

As result, some of Disney Channel's most popular series (The Proud Family, Kim Possible, The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody, etc.) could not be included.
