On Sunday, January 17, it’s a doubleheader of classic television shows, starting at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT with the ‘70s and ‘80s frontier drama “Little House,” including Alison Arngrim ("Nellie Oleson"), Dean Butler ("Almanzo Wilder"), Charlotte Stewart ("Eva Beadle"), Hersha Parady ("Alice Garvey"), Wendi Turnbaugh ("Grace Ingalls"), Pamela Roylance ("Sarah Carter"), Dan McBride (various roles) and Radames Pera (“John Edwards Jr.”).

The following weekend kicks off with Kattan on Saturday, January 23 at 1 p.m ET / 10 a.m. PT. And February gets off to a great start with Voorhies (“Lisa Turtle” in “Saved”) on Saturday, February 6 at 1 p.m ET / 10 a.m. PT.
This is in addition to previously scheduled events, including this Saturday, January 16, with “Animaniacs” stars Rob Paulsen, Tress MacNeille, Jess Harnell and Maurice LaMarche beginning at 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT, followed by a second helping of the “Charmed Against Humanity” online card game with Holly Marie Combs, Brian Krause and Drew Fuller at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT (separate ticketed admission required). On Thursday, January 21, it’s a rewatch of the “Legends of Tomorrow” panel from August featuring Tala Ashe, who will conduct live chats and virtual photo ops on Saturday the 23rd. Rounding out the month of events scheduled to date is action film hero Dolph Lundgren, whose appearance in Rocky IV launched a career that also includes blockbusters like Masters of the Universe and Universal Soldier.
On Thursday, January 14, get ready for another wild session of Wiz Quiz, the free nerdy survivor-style trivia game hosted by Wizard World's own MikeGDoesThings with valuable prizes and as much fun and knowledge as you can handle, starting at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT. And viewers have enjoyed “Rewatch Wednesdays,” when Wizard World replays highlights of the previous weekend’s panels with commentary from staff and fan experts.
During each session, the celebrities will participate in a free live moderated video Q&A, followed by one-on-one video chats, recorded videos, virtual photo ops and autographs, customarily one week later. Sessions are accessible to virtual attendees on their computer and mobile devices via http://www.wizardworldvirtual.com.
