What's on TV this Weekend - Disney Movies & More!

Disney Channel Original Movies, for me, aren't quite the same as they used to be. The movies, themselves, are mostly sweet, innocent, and age appropriate for children, however, the lifestyles of the actors and actresses who portray these squeaky clean characters, are living far from it, themselves. I could list names, but we all know them - those who have taken drugs, sold themselves in magazines, filmed rated 'R' movies, etc... It's truly unfortunate, as it makes it more and more difficult to enjoy what should be wholesome family entertainment.

ON TV, this weekend :

The Disney Channel has the trilogy of High School Musical Movies, plus the premiere of Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure.


The Hallmark Channel has a "Little House on the Prairie Marathon" on Saturday.


TCM has one of the best Christmas Movies - the 1947 version of Miracle on 34th Street.


Gospel Music Channel has the popular new inspiring movie, What If.


*See the Family TV Schedule for more details on these movies & more!

Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure... a Disney Channel Original Movie starring High School Musical's Ashley Tisdale

MOVIE REVIEW

Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure

Network: Disney Channel

Original Air Date: Sometime in 2011

CAST:

Ashley Tisdale ... Sharpay Evans

More to Come...

PLOT:

from Disney Press Release:

The irrepressible diva Sharpay Evans, recent graduate of East High School, seizes the spotlight in "Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure." The incomparable Ashley Tisdale reprises her role she made so popular in the "High School Musical" TV movies and feature film. Tisdale originated the role of scene-stealing drama queen Sharpay Evans in "High School Musical," followed by its sequel "High School Musical 2,", and feature film, "High School Musical 3 : Senior Year,"

Aspiring thespian Sharpay Evans, who was once a big, fabulous fish in a small pond (a man-made pond at a resort country club that her father owns), is finally about to meet her destiny on Broadway, and luckily, theater lighting highlights her hair and skin tone beautifully. Her big break comes after a talent scout spots her performing with her dog Boi at a charity gala, and now there's not a marquee big enough or lights bright enough to contain the glorious fame she plans on having. Sharpay and Boi head to New York, but theatre is a dog eat dog world, and nothing turns out as Sharpay expects, especially when she meets her match in a rather daunting Broadway starlet (who arrived in Midtown Manhattan as a recent winner of "So You Think You're America's Most Talented Performing Idol").

The Great White Way is all Sharpay's ever dreamed of, especially since she already has everything else. Life in the big city is a shock, but there's an even bigger bombshell when Sharpay finally realizes the Broadway role is really for Boi, not her. Putting her disappointment aside, she sets out to make Boi the most fabulous canine star to hit the stage, with the hope that his fame will become her fame (after all, she is his entourage and she holds the leash). Before long, Sharpay makes a new friend in a student filmmaker, Callem, who finds her to be a fascinating subject. Meanwhile, Boi finds puppy love on a Big Apple adventure of his own.
