Family affair

If Ricky Schroder had to write a movie with his wife, Andrea, and cast his four children in it, couldn't it at least have been about beloved Peanuts pianist, Schroeder? Instead, the former "Silver Spoons" star is directing and starring in "Our Wild Hearts" (7 p.m. Saturday, Hallmark Movie Channel), the story of a California girl who befriends her absentee father and a wild mustang.

Water world

"Kingdom of Oceans" (7 p.m. Sunday, NGW) goes deep in its quest to introduce land-locked viewers to marine life, exploring 50 different locations and 80 different species. In a perfect world, our host would be Aquaman. Instead, we get Alexandra Cousteau, who is the next best thing.

Her weight to bare

Jennifer Love Hewitt, whose career keeps sliding closer to soft porn, returns for another season of "The Client List" (9 p.m. Sunday, Lifetime), in which she plays a hooker with — you guessed it — a heart of gold. I'm still puzzled why this series airs on Lifetime and not Cinemax.
