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."

~ John 11:25 KJV

Easter TV Specials 2014

This year there will be a lot of Easter Specials on TV!

ABC will have their annual airing of the movie The Ten Commandments the Saturday evening before Easter, with Charlton Heston as Moses. I am in awe every time I watch it and see the water part. On Easter night, ABC will have the Peanuts Gang in "It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown".

The network UP has two weeks of Religious Themed Movies in their Greatest Stories of the Bible Series, including The Passion of the Christ. For me, it is one of the most meaningful movies of the crucifixion. I love that we get to see a Jesus as a Baby, a young Boy, and as a Man... as He preaches and teaches, leads His disciples, is crucified on the cross, and then, as He is raised from the dead three days later. (Please note: due to violence, this movie is not suitable for young children.)

The Hallmark Channel and INSP will show special Easter Episodes of "The Waltons".

TBN will also have Religious Themed Easter Movies.

ABC Family will have the adorable Easter Bunny themed movie HOP.

Disney will have Easter Cartoons.

TCM will have Religious Themed Easter Movies and be sure to get out your Easter Bonnet and Dancing Shoes... for the classic Easter Movie, Easter Parade, with Judy Garland and Fred Astaire!

Be sure to visit the Family TV Schedule for times airing for these Easter Specials and More!

Have a Blessed Easter, Everyone!
