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.
