Series
On Buffy the Vampire Slayer (8 p.m., WB), Buffy begins to suspect that her perky, Celine Dion-loving roomie may be a soul-sucking monster. We really, really hope last week's drippy season opener was not a sign of things to come. Toughen up, Buff -- its only college. Biography (8 p.m. EDT/9 PDT, A&E) has a new profile of Ingrid Bergman. Nova (check local times, PBS) explores the possibility of time travel. Only the lonely become targets for a parasitic demon -- and it ain't Roy Orbison -- in episode No. 2 of Angel (9 p.m., WB). William H. Macy begins a guest stint on Sports Night (9:30 p.m., ABC) alongside wifey Felicity Huffman. He plays a despicable network weasel hired to boost ratings by whatever means necessary. On Once and Again (10 p.m., ABC), Lily and Rick are running out of places to do it, plus they're letting their grades -- I mean, their parental duties -- slip. Frontline (check local times, PBS) exposes the Russian mafia's infiltration of the National Hockey League. Just as long as they keep their hands off the World Wrestling Federation.
