Ed (8 p.m., NBC) opens its new season with the bowling alley lawyer caught between a rock and a hard place. Actually, he's caught between Carol and Bonnie. Kim Fields -- that's Tootie from "Facts of Life" to you -- gets her very own Biography (8 p.m., A&E). College life beckons for everyone except Pacey in the season opener of Dawson's Creek (8 p.m., WB). The West Wing (9 p.m., NBC) gets back to business with the season opener, in which Bartlet makes his reelection intentions public. On the season premiere of Felicity (9 p.m., WB), senior year proves to be a rude awakening for our girl, who has to decide what she's going to be when she grows up. Drew juggles two wives on The Drew Carey Show (9 p.m., ABC). In case you fell asleep waiting for it to start Sunday, Curb Your Enthusiasm (9 p.m., HBO) gets another airing.
