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.

Movies on TV - this last Weekend in March!

Thought I would just give a brief overview of some good movies on TV this weekend - in case you have a moment (between going out, attending Church services, and watching College Basketball) to watch one with the family...


March 25, 2011 - Friday:

The Suite Life Movie premieres on the Disney Channel - stars Dylan and Cole Sprouse as their Suite Life characters Zack and Cody. (Please Note: This looks to be a little sci-fi, with a sort of mad scientist twist, when the twins undergo twin scientific experimentation that appears to go very wrong. So keep that in mind when viewing with children - might be scary for them!)

Time after Time, stars Richard Thomas... it premiered last week on the Hallmark Channel. It was interesting, with a "Back to the Future" or "What If"  feel. A must see for any fan of The Waltons!


March 26, 2011 - Saturday:

"Little House on the Prairie" All Day Marathon on the Hallmark Channel. Return to life back on the Prairie with Laura Ingalls.

The Parent Trap - the 1998 version starring Lindsay Lohan on ABC Family. Sweet and fun - kids always love it!

Beverly Hills Chihuahua  & Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 also air on  ABC Family. The 2nd Movie premiered on the channel two weeks ago.


Miles From Nowhere, an inspring Hallmark Channel Original movie starring Treat Williams and Andrew Lawrence airs on TBN at Midnight!



March 27, 2011 - Sunday:

Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 airs once more.

TCM has the great classic movies : The Secret Garden (1949) starring Margaret O'Brien and State Fair (1945).

You can also catch these great Hallmark Movies, on Sunday: Smooch, Accidentally in Love, Time After Time, and Elevator Girl !



*Visit the FAMILY TV SCHEDULE for more air dates and times.
