Sunday, April 10

(9:00 p.m. - 12:00 a.m. EDT) THE HUNGER GAMES In what was once North America, the Capitol of Panem maintains its hold on its 12 districts by forcing them each to select a boy and a girl, called Tributes, to compete in a nationally televised event called the Hunger Games. Every citizen must watch as the youths fight to the death until only one remains. District 12 Tribute Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) has little to rely on, other than her hunting skills and sharp instincts, in an arena where she must weigh survival against love.

Monday, April 11

(8:30 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. EDT) THE PROPOSAL Faced with deportation to her native Canada, high-powered book editor Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) says she's engaged to marry Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds), her hapless assistant. Andrew agrees to the charade, but imposes a few conditions of his own, including flying to Alaska to meet his eccentric family. With a suspicious immigration official always lurking nearby, Margaret and Andrew must stick to their wedding plan despite numerous mishaps. "The Proposal" repeats on Saturday, April 16 at 8:00 p.m. and on Sunday, April 17 at 6:30 p.m. EDT.

Tuesday, April 12

(6:45 - 10:00 p.m. EDT) HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX A summer has passed since Harry's encounter with the Dark Lord (Ralph Fiennes), and Harry returns to learn that the wizarding community remains in denial about Voldemort's return. The minister of magic believes that Headmaster Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) is lying and assigns a member of his staff, Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton), to be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. When her Ministry-approved course leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared to protect themselves against the dark forces threatening them, Hermione and Ron urge Harry to take charge. Meeting secretly with a small group of students who name themselves "Dumbledore's Army," Harry teaches them how to defend themselves against the Dark Arts and prepares the courageous young wizards for the extraordinary battle that lies ahead.

(6:30 - 9:00 p.m. EDT) SAVE THE LAST DANCE A 17-year-old high school student (Julia Stiles) sets her sights on being a professional ballerina, but has to put her plans on hold when her mother is killed in a car accident. Forced to move to her father's bleak Chicago neighborhood where she is intimidated by inner-city life, she turns to the clubs for refuge, where she meets a young African American teenager (Sean Patrick Thomas) who shares her love of dancing. As their mutual respect evolves, they soon discover that peer pressure is a more formidable obstacle to romance than differences in race or class.

(9:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. EDT) THE LUCKY ONE U.S. Marine Sgt. Logan Thibault (Zac Efron) returns home from his third tour of duty in Iraq with the one thing he believes kept him alive: a photograph of a woman he doesn't even know. He learns the woman's name is Beth (Taylor Schilling) and goes to meet her, eventually taking a job at her family-run kennel. Though Beth is full of mistrust and leads a complicated life, a romance blooms, giving Logan hope that Beth could become more than just his good luck charm.

Noah goes off to serve in World War II seemingly marking the end of their love affair, and Allie becomes involved with another man (James Marsden) in the interim. Yet when Noah returns to their small town years later, on the cusp of Allie's marriage, it soon becomes clear that their romance is anything but over. "The Notebook: Special Edition" repeats on Friday, April 15 at 5:30 p.m. EDT.

Over the course of the next seven years, as each deployment seems more treacherous than the last, the love letters Savannah sends John are one of the only things that keep him going. However, those loving and heartfelt correspondences ultimately yield consequences neither the brave soldier nor his one true love could ever foresee. "Dear John" repeats on Saturday, April 16 at 5:30 p.m. EDT.

(12:00 - 2:00 a.m. EDT) THE FIRST TIME - FREEFORM PREMIERE Dave, a high school senior, spends most of his time pining over a girl he can't have.

Although they go to different schools, Dave and Aubrey find themselves at the same party. A casual conversation sparks an instant connection and, over the course of a weekend, things turn magical, romantic, complicated, and funny as Aubrey and Dave discover what it's like to fall in love for the first time.
