If you are a regular or even sporadic Hallmark network viewer, you have more than likely heard of their new show airing this weekend (August 14) called Chesapeake Shores, based on the beloved book series of the same name by Sherryl Woods. The discussion of this show has sparked all sorts of impassioned discussions for several months now--some blissfully positive and some categorically negative. In my quest to learn as much about this show as possible, I had the supreme privilege of interviewing John Tinker, the show runner (more about that in the body of the interview). If you are curious about the show (or really, even if you 're not), please read the well-crafted answers John gave to fan questions about the show as well as some of the concerns that I know have been raised by cautious Hallmark viewers. img_20160812_181057.jpg RH: How did you get started in the entertainment industry? JT: I got started in the entertainment industry after being influenced by my father and brother. My father, Grant Tinker, among other things, founded and ran MTM Entertainment (with his then-wife Mary Tyler Moore) and later ran the NBC television network--at the time, a distant third-place network. My father brought NBC back to number one in short order with shows such as Hill Street Blues, Cheers, and The Cosby Show. My brother has worked more often than not …show more content…
Let me break that down a bit. I don’t necessarily think calling a show a “soap opera” is pejorative. All of us on St. Elsewhere called that show a soap opera: a serialized program with interweaving storylines. It all comes down to how you do it. Now, “brimming with sex and love triangles”? No, no need for concern. Not only is that kind of thing not for me, I think we all know that it’s not for Hallmark (at least, not the Hallmark I know). There is, definitely, what we believe to be an honest exploration and examination of people and their relationships, but I don’t think that obviates the possibility of being “family
In the early 1600’s British settlers colonized the east coast of North America forming a total of 13 colonies. These arising colonies began to grow and evolve into different societies despite being from the same region beforehand. One of the reasons that led to distinct separation among regions was social disjunctions. Others significant reasons include various economic incentives and political stance as well as religious motives. With varying social, economic, and religious disjunctions, the New England and Chesapeake regions both evolved into two distinct societies by the start of the 18’th century.
Your part one was spot on and I completely agree with you. The two colonies have much in common, but also have some important differences. They were both backed by companies looking to make a profit, but Jamestown was all young men while Plymouth was more families. Plus, there is the issue of religion which played a huge role in Plymouth but none at all in Jamestown.
The people who volunteered or went to Jamestown in Virginia basically signed a apply to death, either dying on the boats or dying at Jamestown. In 1607, the Englishmen arrived at the mouth of the Great Bay on the coast of Virginia(Chesapeake Bay). They went up the James River and settled in what they call Jamestown, but they weren’t prepared for what was in store for them. There were some problems that killed the colonists. The main problems were starvation(by the many causes), the lack of occupations, and the attacks of the indians living by them.

Early American colonies were the base of what it is now known the United States of America. Although almost all of the colonies were from the same time period each colony differed from each other. Some of the colonies differed by their economic system and also by their way of running their colony, their government. Also, the colonies differed from their culture and their way they lived. In addition, the New England and the Chesapeake colonies were not the exception they also differed from each other.
Amid the late 16th century and into the 17th century, European nations quickly inhabited the new lands called the Americas. England sent out multiple groups to two regions in the eastern coast of North America. Those areas were called the Chesapeake and the New England locations. Later, in the end of the1700 's, these two locations would combine to create one nation. However originally both areas had very different and distinctive identities.
Starting in the early 1600’s settlers from England came to “The New World.” England and Spain were competing to claim this new undiscovered land. The English were the first to claim the land by sending the first group of settlers, the Chesapeake settlers. They settled in present day Virginia and Maryland. The Chesapeake settlers came for commercial and profit.
The British colonies in the Chesapeake region and those of the New England region were both similar yet different in certain ways. One because both the colonist that settled there were looking for new opportunities. However, it was mostly second son aristocrats, which means the first born usually inherits the better half of the father’s riches. Their lives in England had either been mistreated or they were unable to flourish economically. Regardless of whether they were searching the land for expansive homesteads, religious freedom, or exchanging and merchant opportunities, the colonist in both regions were searching for another land in the New World.
Both the Chesapeake colonies and the New England colonies were vital to Britain’s atlantic trade. They both had large populations and booming economies. However, they both eventually established their own cultures that were different from each other. The colonies’ differing beliefs, environments, and labor lead to the contrasting cultures. The New England Colonies were a Puritanical society, who preached against excess.
To those residing on the eastern coast near Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, the problem of the Chesapeake Bay is obvious. The bay lacks water clarity, has difficulties sustaining aquatic life, and faces population threatening issues like dead zones and algae blooms. There are a myriad of ways in which the bay is polluted, however the most direct link to the bay’s poor water clarity is the overflowing amounts of nutrient and sediment pollution. Bay clarity is crucial, not only for a pretty appearance, but also for the health of the bay grasses and fish living in the bay.
The New England and Chesapeake colonies were established during the early 1700s. Despite the population originating from England, the regions had distinct societies. This was due to the fact that many settlers voyaged to the New World in search of riches, to seek new lives, or for religious freedom. They differed socially, politically, economically, and geographically.

Many cultures that exist do not identify with the concept of immediate or extended family—all kin is family, by reaching outside the nuclear family structure” (Raney, 2015:6).
