Grab your sunglasses because the stars shine brightly during Superstar Spring on Family from March 15 to March 19 and March 29 to April 2, beginning at 10 a.m. ET/PT.

Hannah Montana wraps up its third season with a special two-part episode, Miley Says Goodbye?

The evening is capped off with a sneak peek of the Canadian original series Wingin' It at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Wingin' It follows teenage odd couple, Porter (Demetrius Joyette, The Latest Buzz) an Angel-in-training and Carl (Dylan Everett, Booky's Crush), a disaster-prone young teen.
