21 new shows to watch this fall
It's hard to say goodbye to summer, but the good news is, some of the year's best TV is just around the corner.

"Kidding," Showtime: Jim Carrey returns to the small screen as Mr. Pickles, a children's TV icon, whose family life isn't nearly as rosy as the world he creates on television.
