Plus new seasons of "True Blood" and "Royal Pains"

May 17 is the release date for "Covert Affairs: Season One" (Universal), the USA Network's rookie spy adventure starring Piper Perabo as the rookie spy promoted to CIA field work while still in training. For all the international espionage, it's a lightweight adventure that fits right in with the USA sensibility. May 24 sees the release of TNT's femme-centered cop drama "Rizzoli and Isles" (Warner) starring Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander and based on Tess Gerritsen's novels.
Both of these short-season shows arrive in time to help push off the second seasons debuts.
"Human Planet" (BBC), the new BBC documentary series, comes to DVD and Blu-ray on April 26, two days after its American debut on the Discovery Channel.
More TV due dates:
"True Blood: The Complete Season Three" (HBO) arrives on May 31
"Royal Pains: Season Two" (Universal) is set for May 17
"Psych: The Complete Fifth Season" is due May 31
