NOT Airing on TV this Easter...

An Easter themed movie, sadly not being shown this year, is The Waltons last reunion movie "A Walton Easter". It is a very nice family movie that is typically shown each Easter. It is, however, available, thankfully on DVD.

Also... Unfortunately, as many of you already know, there is not a listing this year on ABC, or any other station, for the Charlie Brown Easter Special, “It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown”. I know all Charlie Brown episodes are something truly special and dear for each holiday, so the whole Peanuts gang will be wholeheartedly missed this Easter Season.


You can, however, see the animated movie HOP on Freeform (formerly ABC family) - March 26, 2016 at 10:30pm/9:30c. And, on Easter, March 27, 2016 at 3:30pm/2:30c. and repeats at 10pm/9c.
The Disney Channel will also air HOP, as it has several times this week, once more on Friday March 25 at 5:20pm/4:20c.

Plus, the sweet cartoon Mickey's Great Clubhouse Hunt airs on March 26 ....
on Disney Channel at 7am/6c.
on Disney Jr. at 7:30am/6:30c.
on Disney Channel at 10am/9c.
on Disney Jr. at 6pm/5c.
on Disney Jr. at 9:30pm/8:30c.

then again on Easter Sunday, March 27:
on Disney Channel at 8am/7c.
on Disney Channel at 11am/10c.
on Disney Jr. at 12pm/11c.
on Disney Jr. at 8pm/7c.


There's also the all New Easter themed cartoon...
Kate and Mim-Mim: "Mim-Mim's Eggscellent Easter"


See it this Weekend on Disney Jr.

March 25th at 7pm, 10pm, and 1:30 am
March 26th at 3:40pm, and 1:30 am
March 27th at 5:30pm



There are also several adorable Easter themed Max and Ruby Cartoons airing this Easter weekend on Nick Jr.

You may also find Religious Easter Cartoons on TBN on Saturday Morning, March 26th.


I pray you all have a very Blessed, Holy, Joyous...
Happy Easter!


"Jesus said unto her,
I am the resurrection, and the life:
he that believeth in Me,
though he were dead, yet shall he live."

    I'll be watching the Waltons in memory of Earl Hamner. Hopefully INSP will do a nice tribute to him in their upcoming programming.
