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


What a wonderful weekend filled with new movie premieres + "When Calls the Heart!" Even though the Hallmark Channel is taking a break on Saturday night from new movies (it's actually the first Saturday all year), there will still be plenty to see! By the way, in place of a new premiere on the Hallmark Channel on Saturday, is an encore airing of "Country at Heart."

However, if you'd like to watch something new Saturday night, then turn to INSP for the premiere of Blue Ridge. This is a mystery movie, and like Aurora Teagarden on Sunday night, due to the murder mystery theme and some violence, it's probably best suited for ages 12 and up. I always love a good mystery and trying to solve who-dun-it... I love the challenge.

Please Note: I have not pre-screened these new movies. If you'd like to post a review on whether a film is family-friendly, please share in comments below.

On Sunday night... I personally can't wait to see this all new episode of "When Calls the Heart!" We finally get to meet the Canfield family; I just know there will be many heartwarming moments with them, especially with their daughter Angela, who is blind, but has an incredible gift. (See preview video above!) Plus, I'm really hoping we will learn the secret behind Nathan's past with the Mounties at Fort Clay and his possible connection to Jack. Oh... the suspense!!!

Are you looking forward to any of these new movies or "When Calls the Heart?" Please share in comments below.

Happy Watching!

Blessings to you all, Net

Hunting for CHRISTMAS in March? #Hallmarkies #Hearties LOOK HERE:

Enjoy a little Christmas this week with Hallmark's Queen of Christmas - Candace Cameron Bure, as she portrays twins who switch places and join Kevin McGarry for quite the adventure with a Christmas themed scavenger hunt!

These two stars were surely chosen this week in order to promote the newest "Aurora Teagarden" movie premiere "How to Con a Con," starring Candace Cameron Bure, and an all new episode of "When Calls the Heart," with Kevin McGarry - both airing Sunday night!

See details on the Christmas movies airing this week...



Christmas Thursdays:

Switched for Christmas




Starring: Candace Cameron Bure, Mark Deklin, Eion Bailey and Natasha Bure

Storyline via Hallmark: Identical twins Kate and Chris Lockhart plot to be the other sister -- at Kate’s office and Chris’ school – and take on planning their sister’s Christmas events. One rule, though: no romance. Chris as Kate is making her mark in the office, but co-worker Greg Turner grows curious about her sudden style. Kate as Chris, warming to her sudden family life, is introduced to a wealthy donor to help out the festival. Her jaw drops when she realizes that Tom Kinder is a teenage crush she met at that very festival 20 years ago. Can the sisters pull off their big events? And what about no romance? Will their little game of deceit take two hearts with it – Greg’s and Tom’s?

Encores: Thursday, March 11, 2021 at 8pm/7c.
on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries



***********

Christmas Fridays:

Christmas Scavenger Hunt

Starring: Kim Shaw and Kevin McGarry

Storyline via Hallmark: When Belinda returns home for Christmas, she sees Dustin, who broke her heart. “Accidentally” paired together by her dad, who runs the Scavenger Hunt, the two rekindle their love solving clues and taking selfies with their tasks. Along the way, they take a tree to a reclusive gentleman, who Belinda visited with her mother. But Belinda is also home to purchase the town museum for a client who intends to build condos there. Conflicted, she wonders how to tell Dustin, the museum’s director. It’ll take a Christmas miracle for their love to survive and for the museum to be saved.

Home & Family Returns to the Hallmark Channel in April with Some Changes... SEE HERE:

image: Hallmark Channel - Crown Media Family Networks

Great News to brighten up your day - for all of you "Home & Family" fans! According to deadline - the morning talk show / lifestyle program - will be returning to the Hallmark Channel beginning April 5th, 2021, albeit with a shortened schedule. The show went on hiatus in January in order to comply with new corona virus standards.

Instead of 5 days a week, "Home & Family" will now only air 3 days - Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Plus, there's more. Instead of 2 hours, the show will only be one hour - from 10 am to 11 am ET. Debbie Matenopoulos and Cameron Mathison will still continue to host.

Should be interesting to see what this new shortened format will be like when the show returns this spring!

Stay tuned! Happy watching...

Blessings, Net

Hope you all will have a nice, relaxing weekend. Our weather here in the Midwest is finally warming up, a bit - highs are now in the 40's - 50's (if we're lucky), but the lows at night are still in the 20's. (brrrrrr) That's typical for us in March, so I can't complain. The sun is shining - so it's a beautiful day! I sure hope your weather is pleasant, too. Spring is coming soon!

I'm looking forward this weekend to both new movies and especially, this explosive new episode of When Calls the Heart! Each episode is so intense, it just keeps getting better and better. Last week we were introduced to a new character, Joseph Canfield (played by Viv Leacock from the Hailey Dean mystery series). In this same episode, Lee hurt his back while doing some heavy lifting and Joseph tells Rosemary (Lee's wife) that he will be praying for him. At first, Joseph's comment seems to catch Rosemary off guard, but as she understands his promise, she is taken by this stranger's kindness to pray for her husband and she stops to introduce herself to him. This beautiful, touching moment from the second episode of When Calls the Heart shows us how each of our lives can touch another, in big and small ways. It was wonderful to see this element of faith presented within the story. I'm looking forward this week - when we meet Joseph's entire family, his wife and two children. By the way, the children are actually Viv Leacock's real life daughter, Vienna, and son, Elias. You might recall, Vienna Leacock had a role in the Lacey Chabert Hallmark Christmas movie, Time for Us to Come Home for Christmas, where she played the piano and reconnected with her father. In When Calls the Heart she will portray Angela, a young, blind girl. I'm interested to see how she will fit in and learn with the other children in Hope Valley.

How about you? What are you looking forward to watching over the weekend? Please share in comments below...

Please note: I have not pre-screened the new movies listed above; however, an anonymous commenter did share that they have seen My Birthday Romance, and they reported it to be family friendly... so that's good news! If you'd like to post a review on whether a film is family-friendly, please be to sure to share in comments.

Happy watching!

Blessings to you all, Net
