MY FAVORITE SHAPES BY JULIO TORRES (2019) 10:30 p.m. on HBO; stream on HBO platforms. While some comedians are redefining the stand-up genre, most specials still follow a basic formula: A comic takes the stage with nothing but a microphone in hand and delivers joke after joke after joke. Not so in this new special. Julio Torres, a “Saturday Night Live” writer who is also one of the creators, writers and stars of the Spanish-language HBO comedy series “Los Espookys,” spends this show introducing the audience to shapes rolled out on a conveyor belt. Each one has its own back story, such as the chipped rectangle who’s “having a really bad day” or the Ferrero Rocher chocolate who forgot to wear her skirt. Torres draws laughs not only because of his quirky imagination, but also because he delivers each line with a straight face. It’s as if the world he has created is completely normal, and we’re just late to the party.

A TASTE OF SUMMER 9 p.m. on Hallmark Channel. In this new Hallmark movie, a chef (Roselyn Sanchez) moves to Boston to open her own restaurant and finds competition, among other things, in Caleb (Eric Winter, Sanchez’s real-life husband), a former baseball player who runs an establishment down the street.
