LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - CBS has green-lighted "Exit 19," a drama pilot starring Geena Davis as a quirky homicide detective.

When her character isn't solving crimes on the mean streets of Manhattan, she's in the Long Island suburbs raising two kids alone.

Oscar winner Davis ("The Accidental Tourist") starred in the 2005-06 series "Commander in Chief" as the first female president of the United States.
