It's about time Kevin Kline got a TV series. He's always been a solid actor (I was truly happy when he won an Oscar for 'A Fish Called Wanda' because I didn't really think it would happen), and I've wondered why he hasn't come to TV in any regular role before. But now Kline has said yes to a series, a on HBO to be exact.

There's no title for the show yet (which often happens when it's in the early stages), but the plot has Kline playing a doctor who gets out of prison after serving fifteen years for murdering a woman, his mistress. Somehow this doesn't strike me as a wacky comedy. The writer is David Auburn, who wrote the movie 'Proof.'

With all this news from ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and The CW about their new fall schedules, we can't forget what's happening on cable. TNT and TBS have announced some new shows of their own. Some might say that these shows are even more promising than what the other networks have to offer this fall. In fact, one of them has me more excited than Richard Simmons in a tank top factory.

Besides returning shows like The Closer (June 8), Raising The Bar (June 8), Saving Grace (June 16), and Leverage (July 15), TNT also has the following new shows.

Here are the new TV DVDs, in stores tomorrow:

• Avatar: The Last Airbender - Book 2, Vol. 2
