Although Great American Family is not currently airing their original movies on their channel, you can still see their films - Saturday and Sunday nights on the new Merit Street channel.
Saturday-
Romance at the Vineyard - 6pm/5c
A Harvest Homecoming - 8pm/7c
Sunday-
10 Steps to Love - 6pm/5c
A Prince in Paradise - 8pm/7c
*By the way, the Saturday night movies are my personal movie picks from this bunch. However, airing Sunday night is A Prince in Paradise, which will have its own sequel this Christmas on Great American Family. Click here for details on the new Christmas movie sequel: A Prince In Paradise 2: A Royal Proposal.
It's the last *Spring into Love* movie this weekend for the Hallmark Channel. Next up in May - the network will have their *Countdown to Summer* original movies. Stay tuned for that!
If you want an even more Spring feel, then you'll want to tune in for an Easter celebration this Sunday night on When Calls the Heart! The press images released by Hallmark show the children coloring eggs, which is so sweet to see, but I'm also hoping Pastor Joseph imparts some spiritual teachings around the true meaning of Easter/Resurrection Sunday.
In addition to When Calls the Heart on Sunday night, it's also the fourth episode of Blue Ridge: The Series. For those of you who recently asked about closed captioning, if you watch through the Cowboy Way Channel, it does not function; however, subtitles will work for Blue Ridge: The Series through Plex or XumoPlay. And both streaming options are free! I hope this helps many of you enjoy the show even more.
The new premiere from the Curious Caterer mystery wheel, starring Nikki DeLoach and Andrew Walker, certainly looks intriguing. I especially like their period costumes in this, and at least Hallmark has kept this series going - so far. Hopefully, "Foiled Plans" is just as delicious as the previous Curious Caterer mysteries.
Please note: I have not pre-screened the new movies/episodes mentioned above. If you'd like to leave a review, please share in comments below.
I hope you all have a bright and beautiful Spring weekend!
Blessings!

but the LORD determines his steps."

Another fun weekend with my own watch list. :) -Maria
ReplyDeleteI am sad Great American Family is not airing any movies on their channel. I enjoyed so many Christmas ones, and several other’s they aired year around. I know GAF Pure Flix is a great streaming choice, but sad it seems we are being pushed to purchase a subscription to see any family friendly movies from them. Just my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI am still hoping one of your weekend movie and series posts will have Great American Family listed with movies. Fans expressed their frustration with the programming on Facebook with the Perry Mason post. With majority of the fans saying bring the movies back and get rid of Perry Mason.
ReplyDeleteWow! Jeanette definitely looks like the 1920's.
ReplyDeleteJeanette looks like Snow White as referred to Lucas’ Queen of Hearts
DeleteI love those pics of little Lily and Jack! They are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI’m also hoping Easter is recognized in a religious way with everyone in Hope Valley going to church or something like that. It will be a huge miss if they don’t.
Same here Allie!
DeleteSeriously, that top image is 🔥
ReplyDeletelooks like great weekend watching
ReplyDeleteCurious Caterer: Foiled Plans Review...
ReplyDeleteI could not wait to review it. My time is 12:25 am! I promise to go to bed right after!! Haha ;) I absolutely LOVED this one!!! I don't want to give to much away, because it was really good. I liked how there was no "don't interfere in the investigation" speech. All the cops respected my, appreciated and wanted Goldie's help. And that was a nice change.
The young cop was cute, very young ;) and I loved the scene when Tom takes away Goldie's scone and eats it himself.
I think this was my favorite mystery for this year. The mystery plot was great as well, it was a trickier than normal. And family friendly! This is one to buy. I hope they make more.
(When Tom was reading a poem written on his hand, it reminded me of his character Billy on WCTH in Season 1)
Abigail, Thank you sweet girl for being the first to review Curious Caterer: Foiled Plans and staying up late to do so! You are such a devoted reviewer here and I know many here will appreciate your review before watching. So good to hear how much you enjoyed it, and this being your favorite mystery, so far, this year!!!
DeleteAlso, thanks for the tip about Andrew's character Billy on WCTH being similar to one of the scenes. I will be sure to look for that! :)
Have a fabulous weekend!!!
Blessings, Net
The Curious Caterer Mysteries are always enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteThey usually give the actors a two-movie contract so this is Juan Pablo Di Pace's second one.
He and Laura Osnes were simply sensational in Raise A Glass To Love which is one of my all time favourite Hallmark movies.
From the synopsis it looks as if he is the father of the child so that doesn't automatically rule me out of watching it but I'm not terribly sure that I'm that happy about the subject matter - Florence
Hi Abigail! Your review of 'The Curious Caterer Mysteries' was spot-on! Oh my gosh it was seriously excellent in every way. My husband and I were on the edge of our seats basking in the awesomeness of what was unfolding on our tv screen. Kudos to everyone involved in putting together such an intriguing and engaging story. And high-fives to the cast who brought the storyline and characters to life. :-) :-) I have to say this was also my favorite mystery of 2024 too.
ReplyDeleteAnd, to top of a wonderful weekend, my husband and I watched 'Branching Out' which was also an excellent movie. I forget sometimes how wonderful of an actress Sarah is. She brought her A-game for sure and her daughter was precocious. She is going to have a long career. Sarah's best friend brought brutal honesty and had great chemistry with Sarah. Sarah also had amazing chemistry with Juan. I adored his large and loud family. Plus, the scenery was an added bonus. I wish every weekend of movies could be this stellar.
So glad you enjoyed it Joan. We always seem to like the same stuff. I'll have to try Branching Out for sure now! ;)
ReplyDeleteI especially loved watching Marla and Trach going deeper into their roles. And Trach has definitely changed from the last film. I really liked him this time.
Have a good week my KY friend! Try to stay cool, it got to 90° today. Yikes! This daughter of a red head is staying inside today. I melt if I go in the sun! Hehehe ;)
Hi Abigail,
DeleteYes, we always seem to enjoy the same stuff. I do hope you enjoy Branching Out. :-) It was filmed in Utah.
Thanks for the warm wishes. I hope you have a good week as well my Kentucky friend! I hope you stayed inside. We don't want you melting! LoL We would certainly miss you! I like warm weather but not 90 degrees.
Take care.
I finally watched the new Curious Caterer & I agree with the reviews above, it was great! It actually threw me for a loop and I didn’t figure it out until the very end. It was full of little clues & twists & turns, not obvious at all! Crossing our fingers they make more! Loved seeing a cameo from Morning Show Mysteries.

Thank you so much for finding ways to watch Blue Ridge with subtitles!! Thanks to your kind effort, my parents have been able to watch the show without my mom struggling to follow along, and they are both really enjoying it!! She (and my dad and I) really appreciate your help!
ReplyDeleteRC, Thank you so much for letting me know. Your comment means the world to me... knowing you and your mom and dad are able to sit back, relax, and enjoy this time together is so special.
DeleteI've only seen half of episode 5, but wow, it is intense! I can't wait to see the rest and the season finale!!! :)
Enjoy watching! Blessings, Net
Trust me to be the odd one out.
ReplyDeleteThis has gone down a storm with most people but I somehow didn't enjoy it as much as previous instalments.
I think it was the fact that it took place in an enclosed space. and it felt somewhat claustrophobic and too slow moving for my liking.
I never worked out the mystery but I did guess the murderer although that was a complete stab in the dark!
I felt too that Mason was getting far too big for his boots.
What I did like was the small subtle ways they moved Goldy and Tom's relationship forward and of course, I loved the ending!
Florence's rating 5.5
Florence, That's understandable... we all like different things, sometimes. I still appreciate hearing various perspectives. ~Net
