Ratings 'Laws': Two new dramas with the word "Law" in their titles got off to promising starts in the ratings Monday, the first official night of the new TV season. CBS' 10 p.m. show "Family Law" did especially well with women, attracting an estimated 15.6 million viewers--CBS' best results with a regular series that hour since "Brooklyn South" premiered two years ago. NBC's spinoff "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" also held its own at 9 p.m. against football on ABC and CBS' "Everybody Loves Raymond," with about 14.1 million viewers. That marked a sharp improvement on NBC's 8-9 p.m. results, where "Suddenly Susan" and "Veronica's Closet" finished well behind CBS' "King of Queens" and the new sitcom "Ladies Man" (13.6 million viewers).

Bye-Bye 'Baywatch'?: "Baywatch" star David Hasselhoff, 46, has told reporters in Honolulu that he may soon hang up his red swimming trunks. "This may be my last season," he said. "I'm not going to say I'm not coming back . . . but, you know, 10 years is 10 years." Hasselhoff--whose character appears in only 14 of 22 episodes this season--said he wants to pursue other interests, including acting in a Broadway show. Meanwhile, the show's 200th episode airs Saturday at 6 p.m. on KCOP-TV.
