Must-see
The West Wing, 9 p.m., Channels 5, 22.
After being on and off the air lately, The West Wing is back for a four-week story arc. It centers on a brash new deputy national security adviser played by Mary McCormack (K Street).
Meanwhile, the president is changing his stand about free trade and overseas jobs. Also, C.J. fumes after an FCC decision allows groups to own more TV stations.
Moguls, 9 p.m., TV Land.
In its earliest days, TV had the stars and the scripts. What it lacked were the moguls to run the shows.
In the 1950s, it got two unlikely ones.
Desi Arnaz was a former bongo player and singer. He brought new techniques to I Love Lucy. Soon he and wife, Lucille Ball, filled their Desilu studio with shows mimicking the style.
Sheldon Leonard was an actor known for playing tough-talking hoodlums. He produced shows for Danny Thomas, Andy Griffith, Dick Van Dyke and more, making sure they had sharp, smart scripts.
They are profiled here in an interesting hour that launches a six-week series.
Worth watching
My Wife & Kids, 8 and 8:30 p.m., Channels 9, 2. Both episodes focus on the relationship between Michael (Damon Wayons) and his wife, Jay (Tisha Campbell-Martin). In the first - a new episode, scheduled for last week, then delayed - their plans for a romantic getaway fizzle. In the second, a rerun, they try to outdo each other's gifts.
Enterprise, 8 p.m., Channel 25. The show returns to new episodes with a troubled Archer out of captivity and considering a desperate plan.
Flame Worthy Music Video Awards, 8 p.m., CMT. The awards are minor, but CMT gathers lots of country talent. Dolly Parton hosts with performers including Alan Jackson, Shania Twain, Toby Keith, Martina McBride, Sheryl Crow and Montgomery Gentry.
The Bachelor, 9 p.m., Channel 9, 2. The women take compatibility tests to see which would match up with Jesse. The winners have one-on-one dates with him.
P.O.V.: Love & Diane, 9 p.m., Channel 16. When Love Hazzard was 8, she told a teacher that her mother's crack habit often left the six kids abandoned. What followed was a decade of struggles through the child-welfare system. Now, at 18, Love has a baby of her own. She struggles to change her life; so does her mother in this documentary.
Law & Order, 10 p.m., Channels 5, 22. When the New York Yankees' most-hated TV fan is killed, there are plenty of suspects.
