‘Chesapeake Shores’ leaves no cliche unturned BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Hallmark returns to formula with its newest series “Chesapeake Shores” (9 p.m. Sunday, TV-PG). Can you return to something you’ve never left? The melodrama, based on a series of novels by Sherryl Woods, follows the narrative arc of the network’s millions of movies with near metronomic predictability. It opens with Abby O’Brien (Meghan Ory) furiously multitasking at her high-powered Wall Street job. She’s sweating on a treadmill, organizing some megamerger and quaffing some awful kale-based breakfast drink, seemingly all at the same time. And the time is barely past dawn. She’s gorgeous, polished, ridiculously overscheduled and under the delusion that this makes for a full life. Her two beautiful daughters seem more attached to their nanny than to Abby. They measure their young lives by the events that their mommy has missed. Did I mention the nanny was quitting? Something’s got to give. And if you live in Hallmark-land, you take an impromptu weekend trip to your picturesque hometown to visit Grandma Nell (Diane Ladd), a simple matriarch who spouts pious platitudes in an Irish brogue, cooks biscuits and fried chicken and manages to maintain a mansion-like property right out of a fancy magazine. Treat Williams stars as Abby’s handsome father, Mick, a man of few words who looks like a Kennedy and talks like a Baldwin. There’s a sad story about Abby’s missing mother and a shared concern for an unseen brother serving in Afghanistan. Within seconds of her arrival in the postcard-perfect seashore town, Abby’s less-thanresponsible sister, Jess (Laci J. Mailey), manages to involve her financier sister in her “investment,” a bed-and-breakfast money pit. This includes a visit to the bank, where Abby encounters Trace (Jesse Metcalfe), the banker’s son who just happens to be her high school sweetheart. She left him, his crazy dreams of being a musician and unshaven handsomeness for Wall Street. He’s the kind of guy who can

p.m., NBCSN). • Teens scheme to rid themselves of their abusive drunken mother (Mira Sorvino) in the 2014 shocker “Perfect Sisters” (8 p.m., Lifetime). • Gunshot victims bleed in the snow on “Boston EMS” (10 p.m., ABC). • All systems goat on “The Vet Life: Texas Sized” (10 p.m., Animal Planet).

SUNDAY’S HIGHLIGHTS

2016 CROWN MEDIA UNITED STATES LLC

Meghan Ory, left, stars as Abby O’Brien and Diane Ladd as Grandma Nell in the new series “Chesapeake Shores,” premiering at 9 p.m. Sunday on Hallmark. be a small town banker, country music heartthrob and hammer-wielding construction worker hunk whose best friend is his dog, a Chesapeake Bay retriever, no less. Think she’ll come back for McStubbly? If you don’t, you’re watching the wrong network! • The documentary “Dream Killer” (8 p.m. Sunday, ID, TV14) examines a gruesome miscarriage of justice — a man wrongfully convicted of murder based on events that a key witness only “saw” in his dreams! • Director Kevin Smith returns with a new season of “Geeking Out” (11 p.m. Sunday, AMC, TV-14), devoted to pop culture of the Comic-Con variety. Next Sunday, “Geeking Out” will air at midnight, its regular time. In the first episode, Smith and company will reminisce about the cult series “Firefly” and anticipate new installments of “Star Wars” and “Guardians of the Galaxy,” as well as the upcoming HBO series “Westworld.” • A sexy secret agent, gorgeous locations, a cunning villain and a story based on a John le Carre novel, “The Night Manager” hit a sweet spot with viewers and critics when it aired some months back.

A thinking viewer’s thriller with plenty of eye candy, this miniseries was hard to resist. AMC will air all six episodes in marathon fashion (8 p.m. Saturday, TV-14), allowing some viewers to see what they missed and others to return to what they loved. Tom Hiddleston stars as Jonathan Pine, the hotel employee and title character who becomes embroiled in the personal life of international arms dealer and cold-blooded businessman Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie). “The Night Manager” has been nominated for 12 Emmy Awards. Don’t miss it. • A new season of “Oprah: Where Are They Now” (10 p.m. Saturday, OWN) invites viewers to catch up with “I Dream of Jeannie” star Barbara Eden. More than 50 years have passed since the premiere of the silly show about a NASA astronaut (Larry Hagman) with his own subservient genie. “Jeannie” was one of a spate of series about female characters endowed with remarkable powers who catered to far more pedestrian men. Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) on “Bewitched” could summon the dark arts with the wiggle of her nose, but she preferred to mix martinis for

her advertising executive husband. Another show of the period that’s been all but forgotten but is now available to stream on Hulu is “My Living Doll,” about government scientist Dr. Bob McDonald (Bob Cummings), who has the peculiar job of hiding a curvaceous robot named Rhoda, played by a pre-“Catwoman” Julie Newmar. Rhoda is much less subservient than Eden’s Jeannie. She was coolly logical and dismissive, much like Greta Garbo in “Ninotchka.” It’s been said that Newmar’s character coined the phrase “it does not compute” to respond to McDonald’s less-than-sensible dialogue. Logical to a fault, and completely unaware of her beauty, she clearly treated Cummings’ character like a fool. Perhaps that explains why CBS canceled the show after 26 episodes and why “I Dream of Jeannie” ran for five years and is fondly remembered after more than half a century.

SATURDAY’S HIGHLIGHTS • Scheduled events at the Rio Olympics include: track and field, swimming, diving and beach volleyball (8 p.m., NBC); soccer, boxing and shooting (9
