It's the last night of the fall Nielsen ratings period, and the Big Four networks are showing all the restraint of shoppers on the day before Christmas. Fox is claiming three hours of prime time (instead of its usual two) for box-office MVP "Jerry Maguire" (7, Channel 4).

There's even a mini-battle between cable's top two networks, as USA pits Harrison Ford in "Regarding Henry" (8 p.m.) against Patrick Swayze in "Dirty Dancing" at 7 on TNT. >>>
