🌟 90s Sitcom Stars Coming to Reality TV - Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Melissa Joan Hart, Joey & Matthew Lawrence and More...

Two new shows are coming in August and September that star many celebrities we have known from 90s TV sitcoms and Hallmark & Great American Family movies.

The shows are called Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, which involves physical and mental challenges, and Totally '90s House, which focuses on home renovations.

I also wanted to share this fun fact... starring in Special Forces with Candace Cameron Bure is Oliver Hudson, who you may recall also starred along with Candace in the Hallmark time-travel movie, Journey Back to Christmas.

Check out the details for both of these new reality shows below...

Special Forces: World's Toughest Test - Season 5

According to FOX’s press release the celebrity recruits will be deployed in Malaysia to take on intense challenges in “the most hostile environment a soldier could operate in... the jungle.”

EW is reporting that "recruits will “adapt to uncomfortable conditions, unpredictable terrain and harsh jungle warfare tasks” as they endure challenges such as a claustrophobic, high-pressure search of an underground bunker to find crucial military weapons, a supply load retrieval while suspended 300 feet above the jungle floor, and a chemical gassing while finding coordinates of an enemy vessel. In this experiment, the celebrities try to survive demanding training exercises led by the Directing Staff (DS) Rudy Reyes, Billy Billingham, Jason “Foxy” Fox, and Jovon “Q” Quarles, an elite team of ex-special forces operatives. They will guide the recruits while testing them to see who has the guts and glory to make it to the end."

Competitors:

Matt Barnes (NBA champion)
Alycia Baumgardner (world champion boxer)
Candace Cameron Bure ("Full House," "Another Sweet Christmas")
David Charvet ("Baywatch," "Melrose Place")
Brandi Glanville ("The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills")
Collin Gosselin ("Jon & Kate Plus 8")
Oliver Hudson ("The Cleaning Lady," "Rules of Engagement")
LeSean McCoy (NFL Super Bowl champion)
Maxim Naumov (Olympic figure skater)
Ruby Rose ("Batwoman," "Orange Is the New Black")
George Santos (politician)
Hannah Stocking (comedian)
Breana Tiesi ("Selling Sunset")
Alexia Umansky ("Buying Beverly Hills")
Mauricio Umansky ("Buying Beverly Hills")

Premiere Date: Thursday, September 24, at 9/8c. on Fox

Totally '90s House

Hosted by Jaleel White (aka Urkel from Family Matters), this six-episode series is bringing the '90s back but with a serious home makeover twist! Two teams of beloved '90s stars go head-to-head to turn outdated houses into modern masterpieces, all while keeping a little of that retro charm in the mix.

And there's a $25,000 prize waiting at the end of the renovation road for the winning team's charity of choice.

The stars are split into two teams:

Team 1:
Brian Austin Green (Beverly Hills, 90210)
Beverley Mitchell (7th Heaven)
Jodie Sweetin (Full House)

Team 2:
Melissa Joan Hart (Clarissa Explains It All / Sabrina the Teenage Witch)
Keshia Knight Pulliam (The Cosby Show)
Matthew Lawrence (Boy Meets World)
Joey Lawrence (Blossom)

*They will be assisted by HGTV design experts Carter Oosterhouse and Sabrina Soto.

Premiere Date: Wednesday, August 26 at 9|8c on HGTV
Stream the next day on HBO Max

*******************

If you had the choice to be on either one of these series, which one would you choose?

I think both would be fun to watch, but if I had to participate, I would definitely choose the home makeover show! I would never last in a Survivor-type competition. Nope, not me. I mean, I like exercise and I'm fit and all, but I'm just not sure I could endure the jungle. How about you? Please share in the comments below.

Happy watching,

⚾️🎇 Spectacular 'Sandlot' Movie Reenactment at the 2026 Major League Baseball All-Star Game - See Here:

In case you missed it...

The Major League All-Star Baseball Game absolutely hit this one out of the park! ⚾️🌟

I just had to share this special moment for all of you baseball fans - and especially anyone who has a soft spot for the nostalgic classic film - The Sandlot! This was truly a grand slam! This was one of those “You're killing me, Smalls!” kind of moments... only in the very best way!

The crowd went wild as a spectacular reenactment of the beloved movie unfolded right in the stadium last night at the Major League All-Star Baseball Game! Young boys who looked remarkably like the boys from The Sandlot rode into the stadium on bicycles while Ray Charles' beautiful rendition of America the Beautiful played in the background. Then, to top it all off, fireworks lit up the sky! 🎇

Talk about a picture-perfect baseball moment! If you missed this incredible tribute, here's your chance to catch the replay...

I know, I know... there's "no crying in baseball"... but maybe, just maybe, we can make an exception for this one time!

If you'd like to rewatch the beloved classic The Sandlot movie - check out streaming or DVD options at Amazon - *click here*

Hope you enjoyed this little Sandlot magic! ⚾️✨

🎄❤️ Cindy Busby & Marcus Rosner Are Bringing a Little "Christmas Wrapped in Love" to Great American Family!

 ( image via: Great American Media ) 

More wonderful Christmas news from the set of Cindy Busby's upcoming Great American Family movie, Christmas Wrapped in Love! Her co-star has officially been revealed today via Parade!

Marcus Rosner (Christmas in Maple Hills, Christmas Detour) is joining the movie as Ryan Bartlett, an overworked surgeon who finds himself with one very big holiday assignment: finding meaningful Christmas gifts for his entire family! And when the Christmas shopping list starts looking a little overwhelming, he hires Natasha (Cindy Busby) to help him out.

I have a feeling this Christmas shopping adventure may come with a little romance mixed in, too!

This will be Cindy Busby and Marcus Rosner's first Christmas movie together, and I am already curious to see what this new Christmas movie pairing brings to the screen!

Great American Family fans may also recognize Marcus from two of his other Christmas movies that are already airing on Great American Family - Coupled Up for Christmas and Christmas in Maple Hills. Both movies were acquired for the network.

Plus, Marcus has starred in many movies for the Hallmark Channel over the years, including Christmas Detour, Christmas in Evergreen, Flipping for Christmas, Falling Like Snowflakes, this weekend's premiere, Snowbound for the Holidays, and more. He's also starred in movies on UPtv and Lifetime! I shared some of my favorites at the end of this post.

Christmas Wrapped in Love is currently in production for Great American Christmas 2026!

Stay tuned for more Christmas news!

🎄Great American Family Announces 'The Christmas Yes List' in Production

Exciting Christmas movie news!

Just as I revealed recently... Danica McKellar and Sam Page are returning to Great American Family for a brand-new holiday movie, "The Christmas Yes List," and even better news - Great American Family has announced today, via Woman's World, that the movie is currently in production!

This all-new Christmas film is inspired by the (soon-to-be-released) Christmas novel of the same name by Melissa Ferguson.

The story follows a woman named Chloe (Danica McKellar) who decides to create a "Christmas Yes List," choosing to say "yes" to opportunities, adventures, and meaningful moments during the holiday season. As she steps outside her comfort zone, Chloe discovers that Christmas has a way of bringing surprising joys, new possibilities, and perhaps even a little romance along the way.

Danica has shared her excitement about bringing this uplifting story to the screen, and it's easy to see why. The film's message of opening our hearts and embracing the blessings placed in our path fits beautifully with the spirit of Christmas.

I'll be sharing more details on "The Christmas Yes List" as they become available, so stay tuned!

✨ Breaking: Cindy Busby's 2026 Christmas Movie Unwrapped

Exciting Christmas movie news for one of our favorites here at It's a Wonderful Movie... Cindy Busby (When Hope Calls) is currently filming a new Christmas movie for Great American Family's upcoming holiday season, which begins in October!

Deadline revealed that the title of Cindy Busby's film is Christmas Wrapped in Love and that it is based on the book The Christmas Gift List by writer Jennifer Snow.

This is the storyline provided by Deadline: "Natasha Lloyd (Cindy Busby) has built a unique business helping clients locate thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gifts for the people they love. When overworked surgeon Ryan Bartlett finds himself tasked with purchasing meaningful Christmas gifts for his entire family, he hires Natasha for help. To uncover the perfect presents, Natasha agrees to pose as Ryan’s girlfriend and spend the holiday season getting to know his family. What begins as a professional arrangement soon becomes something much more as Natasha discovers the true meaning of family, belonging, and love at Christmas."

No word, yet, on who will play Cindy's opposite in this new movie.

Cindy Busby has starred in three previous Christmas movies on Great American Family and numerous holiday films on UPtv, Lifetime, and the Hallmark Channel, including the Unwrapping Christmas series and one of the A Godwink Christmas films. She is also currently starring in Great American Family's period series, When Hope Calls: Brookfield, which has been renewed for a fourth season.
