Special Valentine’s Episodes coming to Disney Junior

1 Comment

Coming up in February Disney Junior has some Valentine’s Day themed episodes. I watch these shows with Eva and she enjoys them very much. I’m a big kid and love cartoons and also love the voice actors and hearing them voice different characters. So I get invested in the shows. Two shows that are celebrating Valentine’s Day are Doc McStuffins and Handy Manny.

I think that Eva is going to like the Doc McStuffins episode very much. Check out the description of it below.

In the new “Doc McStuffins” episode titled “My Huggy Valentine,” Doc receives a stuffed Valentine’s Day heart named Val as a gift and Lambie gets jealous because she thinks Doc likes her new toy better. After diagnosing Lambie with “splitheartitis,” Doc reassures her that no one could ever take her place. This episode of “Doc McStuffins” premieres Friday, February 1 at 10:00 a.m., ET/PT on Disney Channel and 4:00 p.m., ET/PT on Disney Junior.

However, I’m a bit more interested in the Handy Manny episode. I’m interested because Manny is finally going to gather to courage to ask Kelly out. Why I’m so invested in these cartoons and their relationship is beyond me but I’ve been rooting for these guys to get together. Here’s the description of the episode below.

Then, in the “Handy Manny” episode, Manny wants to ask longtime friend Kelly to a Valentine’s Day party. With a little help from the tools, he finally works up the courage and asks her to attend Mrs. Portillo’s party with him. The episode titled “Valentine’s Day Party” premieres Thursday, February 14 at 10:30 a.m., ET/PT on Disney Channel and 6:00 p.m., ET/PT on Disney Junior.
