My Quick Take:

I hope you all will enjoy the new season of "Blue Ridge."

From high-stakes investigations to pulse-pounding action and heartfelt family moments, it looks like season 2 will continue to deliver excitement at every turn!

Note of caution: Due to intense crime-fighting drama and violence, this show (in my opinion) is not for young viewers.

In addition to the incredible lineup of guest stars mentioned in the press release above, also be sure to look for Jesse Hutch (“Crossroad Springs”), Melissa Ordway Gaston (“Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries”), Nick Gonzales (“Christmas on the Range”), and Annabeth Gish (“The Warrant”) in season 2!

Hope you enjoy the show!

🌹Happy Mother's Day Weekend - Enjoy a New Movie, Marathons, and More!🌹 #MothersDay *SEE HERE:

Happy weekend, friends!

I pray those of you observing Mother's Day this Sunday will have an enjoyable time and a lovely celebration. (Please note... I will share more on this at the end of this post.)

As for the new programming this Saturday and Sunday, the Hallmark Channel is diving into *Countdown to Summer* with an all-new adventure film, A Whitewater Romance, starring Cindy Busby and Benjamin Hollingsworth; plus, an all-new When Calls the Heart on Sunday night has an unwanted visitor and more trouble with the resort project. However, in more uplifting news, in case you haven't heard, When Calls the Heart has been renewed for Season 12 - see details here.

Blue Ridge: The Series ends its first season with a finale that Actor/Executive Producer Johnathon Schaech (who portrays Sheriff Justin Wise) says is "going to rock your world and hopefully make you chuckle." The finale episode has two guest stars, Erin Cahill (A Timeless Christmas, Love, Fall, & Order, Mystery 101) and Ethan Embry (Sweet Home Alabama, Vegas Vacation). Erin's character, Beth Yates, reminds me a lot of her role on Mystery 101, as she portrays Justin's ex-girlfriend and an FBI agent. Ethan Embry starred with Johnathon Schaech in the movie That Thing You Do, and he's a young actor in one of my all-time favorite classic Christmas movies, All I Want for Christmas. However, he certainly isn't playing the same nice, boy-next-door type of character in this thrilling, suspenseful, finale episode of Blue Ridge.

See more details below on the Blue Ridge: The Series finale, plus the new movie, A Whitewater Romance, When Calls the Heart, special marathons for Mother's Day, and more...

Happy Weekend, Friends!

This is one of those extremely rare weekends with NO NEW Movie Premieres. I know some of us will miss them, while others may enjoy this brief break. Hallmark will return with a new rom-com next week as the network begins *Countdown to Summer*.

The first Saturday in May is well-known for the iconic Kentucky Derby. This year is a monumental celebration, as it is the 150th run for the roses. Horse racing, I must say, isn't something I generally follow throughout the rest of the year, but the Derby and the state of Kentucky hold a special place in my heart due to family ties there, and hearing the song "My Old Kentucky Home" always brings a tear to my eye. (I sure miss hearing them sing the lyrics, though.)

Speaking of horses, even though there aren't any new movies this weekend, there are new episodes of When Calls the Heart, Blue Ridge, and the season finale of Into the Wild Frontier, and horses will likely be seen in all three.

See all of the details below...

Of all the relationships on When Calls the Heart, the friendships of these ladies are truly among the most beautiful!

Movie Reviews:

🌟 I happened upon this movie late last fall when it was on the Cowboy Channel, which we get as part of our paid-for Friendly TV app. I am not a western-type fan, but from the ads I’d seen for it, it looked like a truly wholesome movie and I knew some of the stars in it from other shows, so was really interested to see what it would be like. Well, I LOVED it. As a Christian myself, it had me sit up and take notice immediately when the main character is quoting some scriptures at the very start of the movie. Very cool! I highly recommend your readers to watch this movie whenever they get a chance. It’s so worth it! And wonderful to fully support movies these days that not only truly wholesome, celebrating high morals and character, but are also well made like this one. ~Anonymous


🌟 I Loved Far Haven, watched overnight on my phone at the Hospital with my patient.

I certainly hope Insp. Channel plans on making it a Series?
Great cast, need more
Bruce❤️
A. Martinez❤️
Nancy, Amanda, Jesse, Drew, Martin, etc.
Loved the kids.
I remember Bailey from a sweet Christmas movie, Shoelaces for Christmas!!

The fact that Hunter((Bailey) kept quoting Scripture from the Bible🙏🙏 was so refreshing and uplifting.

I started on the Locket movie, but a medical emergency intervened.
Viv and Natasha's meet cute was so funny, it looked really good though- I ❤️❤️ history storylines.
May God shower blessings on each of You🙏🙏 ~Kathy❤Texas

Happy trails, y'all!

PRESS RELEASE via IMAGICOMM ENTERTAINMENT:

JOHNATHON SCHAECH 

TAPPED AS LEAD 

IN BLUE RIDGE: THE SERIES

The crime procedural makes its exclusive worldwide premiere on April 7, 2024 on Cowboy Way FAST channel

(Indian Land, SC – January 17, 2024) – Cowboy Way channel today announced the highly anticipated debut of BLUE RIDGE: THE SERIES will premiere on Sunday, April 7th at 8PM ET. This marks the first time Hollywood movie star Johnathon Schaech (That Thing You Do! Texas Rising, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow) takes a leading role in an episodic series, as he reprises his character from the original film, BLUE RIDGE. The announcement comes from series showrunner Gary Wheeler.

"We are thrilled to have Johnathon return to the world of BLUE RIDGE to further the character's journey across a full-length series,” said Wheeler. “In his first foray as a series lead, Johnathon’s performance is amazing. He is sharp and intuitive in this role, bringing grit and believability to Sheriff Wise’s character and to the story arc of each episode.”

Johnathon is joined by a stellar cast in Season 1, including Sarah Lancaster (Chuck, Everwood, Christmas in the Smokies) as Elli Wise; A Martinez (Longmire, The Cowboys, Dark Winds) as Connor McGrath; Taegen Burns (The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, The Right Stuff, Imaginary) as Maddie Wise; Tom Proctor (Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Justified, Guardians of the Galaxy) as Jeremiah Wade; Avianna Mynhier (The Walking Dead) as Deputy Maxx Covington; and Greg Perrow (The Warrant, Festival of Trees) as Deputy RP.

Wheeler continued, “The immense talent cast in those supporting roles, along with surprise guest stars, will undoubtedly captivate audiences week after week. With performances by Bruce Boxleitner (Tron, Babylon 5, How the West Was Won, Far Haven); Max Martini (The Unit, 13 Hours, Pacific Rim); Ethan Embry (That Thing You Do!, Sweet Home Alabama, Grace and Frankie); Mike O’Hearn (American Gladiators, Mr. Universe); Erin Cahill (Cut to the Chase, Christmas on the Range); Lev Cameron (Far Haven); and Jessica McKay (WWE Star), each episode satisfies and entertains.”

Watch Johnathon Schaech's television debut in this gripping continuation of the BLUE RIDGE saga, during the exclusive worldwide premiere of BLUE RIDGE: THE SERIES on Sunday, April 7th at 8PM ET on Cowboy Way channel.

Movie/Series Review:

🌟 Just watched the Blue Ridge movie for the first time and then the two episodes that have been released thus far. I am loving it!! So refreshing to see non-woke, old-fashioned themes in entertainment. A noble lawman who puts his life on the line for his family and his community. Masculinity depicted as something good, not toxic. Women who are strong without losing their femininity, unlike the feminist girlbosses we see in other media. A man who has taken responsibility for the mistakes that led to his divorce and is determined to win back his ex-wife. A romance in which the man serves and cares for the woman, and the woman respects and admires the man. But I think my favorite thing about the show is what it says about America. Our country has its dysfunctional subcultures, and one of those is definitely represented here by the feuding clans whose tribalistic mentality justifies violence and cheapens life. But then you have the main character who exemplifies the best of the American spirit: courage, individualism, personal responsibility, service, and traditional morals. And it’s a beautiful thing to see the best of America triumph over the worst of America. That’s one of the themes of American history and I love seeing that acknowledged. ~RC


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

How to Watch the Cowboy Way channel:

Stream through these platforms: DistroTV, FreeCast, Frndly TV, Philo, Plex, Redbox, Roku, Samsung TV Plus, Sling, TCL, Vidgo, Vizio, and Xumo.


My Quick Take:

I'm personally looking forward to seeing this all-new television series this spring, based on the movie Blue Ridge, and I'm most pleased they were able to bring back the main cast. The original film is filled with mystery and intrigue; it is a murder mystery, however, so it's best-suited for a mature audience.

If you haven't seen the original movie, Blue Ridge, hopefully, you can catch one of these upcoming encore airings: Friday, February 2, 2024, at 6pm/5c. and Saturday, February 3, 2024, at 6am/5c. on the Cowboy Way channel.

I hope you enjoyed this update and will look forward to this series.

Blessings to You All,

NEW on DVD + My REVIEW of "CHRISTMAS ON THE RANGE" starring ERIN CAHILL!

Erin Cahill and Nicholas Gonzalez - 2019 Christmas On The Range

"Christmas on the Range" - New Release on DVD!

My Review...

Actress Erin Cahill (of "Love Fall and Order," "Random Acts of Christmas") shines in the holiday film, “Christmas on the Range,” as Kendall Riley, devoted rancher’s daughter who is strong-willed and determined to expand her family farm.

Even though it’s Christmastime, when you expect “Peace-on-earth, good will toward men…,” Kendall’s neighbor, Brick McCree (portrayed by A Martinez), will stop at nothing to sabotage Kendall and turn the Riley farm into financial ruin.

Lindsay Wagner and A Martinez - 2019 Christmas On The Range

When Brick’s ex-wife, Lillian (portrayed by Lindsay Wagner), and son, Clint (portrayed by Nicholas Gonzalez), discover he has cancer, they return to the ranch for the holidays, anticipating it might be his last. From there, you might expect Brick’s Grinch-like heart to soften and mellow, but an old vendetta from the past stirs up a hornet’s nest that he can’t seem to let go.

When Kendall initially meets Clint in an intense moment when her cow is birthing, she is relieved to discover Clint is a veterinarian. Thankfully, he has arrived at just at the right time to help deliver the breach baby calf. Kendall immediately warms to Clint after that, until she discovers he is Brick’s son. Kendall justifiably fears Clint has joined up with his father in an effort to spy on her farming methods and conspire against her in an effort to make her lose the ranch. But... is there a chance he might only be there to make things right? Can Clint McCree, Brick McCree's son, be trusted, after all?

Erin Cahill and Nicholas Gonzalez - 2019 Christmas On The Range

Good friends in the community stand by Kendall’s side and are always there for her when she needs them, especially her friends at the beauty shop, who enjoy gossiping and are quite intrigued by the fact that Kendall seems to be gradually opening up her heart to Clint McCree. Can Kendall actually have faith and trust in him, even though he is Brick’s son?

Is it possible for Rancher Brick McCree to ever change? Can deep hurts from the past be mended like fences and a gate to the future be opened that unites these two families?

I was so engrossed by what was going to happen next, I couldn’t wait to see the next scene. There was such a great mix of high level intensity and funny, laugh-at-loud, lighthearted levity.

This Christmas adventure is filled with lots of action, adversity, and triumph, secrets from the past, revenge, redemption, love and family.

I most definitely recommend seeing “Christmas on the Range” this Holiday Season. By the way, this movie would make an excellent stocking stuffer.
