Television series being released this week, and in the near future, include:

v “The Comeback”: Lisa Kudrow’s much-loved mockumentary returned to life on HBO nine years after being canceled, and it’s still a super skewering of showbiz fame-chasing. In the 2005 original – included here – her oblivious onetime sitcom star, Valerie Cherish, attempts a series return. In 2014’s “Comeback” comeback, she winds up playing herself in a series dramatizing that ill-fated ordeal, with co-star Seth Rogen. Cameos abound – director James Burrows, Bravo talker Andy Cohen, Jay Leno, Marilu Henner and many more; extras include creators Kudrow and Michael Patrick King doing commentary, more; $20 for all 21 episodes of both series, out this week from HBO.

v “The Affair”: Dominic West, Ruth Wilson, Maura Tierney and Joshua Jackson star in Showtime’s stark two-sides telling of an unfaithful relationship (and a murder), winner of this year’s Golden Globe for drama series; $40, out this week from CBS.

v “I Love Lucy” (season 2): (Blu-ray). Now in HD: the chocolate factory speed-up (optionally colorized, quite well), Lucy tells Ricky she’s pregnant, plus bonus features galore; $130 Blu-ray, out this week from CBS.

v “Outlander Vol. 2”: Due out Sept. 29

v “American Horror Story: Freak Show”: Due out Oct. 6

“America’s Next Top Model” (8 p.m., The CW): Now that a male – Keith Carlos – has won the title on “America’s Next Top Model,” expect the guys to bring some extra gusto to Season 22, as the co-ed cast convenes in Hollywood and models swimwear.

“Mr. Robinson” (9 p.m., NBC): In the new sitcom “Mr. Robinson,” Craig Robinson (“The Office”) stars as the lead singer of a funk band who is forced to take a job as a high school music teacher when he runs short on cash. Hilarity supposedly ensues.

“JFK & LBJ: A TIME FOR GREATNESS” (9 P.M., PBS): This retrospective presents a history of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

“The Jim Gaffigan Show” (10 p.m., TV Land): Imagine an episode of this show revolving around dinner.
