TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"Jericho," 7 p.m., CBS. When CBS first aired this hour, there were groans from fans for two reasons: The show killed a major character and left viewers with a cliffhanger. That was almost a permanent cliffhanger because CBS canceled "Jericho." Fortunately, it un-canceled it and will have seven episodes ready for mid-season. To get ready, catch this hour: In the aftermath of nuclear blasts, Americans are fighting each other. Badly outnumbered, the Kansas town of Jericho battles neighboring New Bern.

OF NOTE

College Football, 2 p.m., ABC. It's Southern California at Nebraska.

"Me, Myself and Irene" (2000), 5 p.m., FX. A mild-mannered cop develops a fierce alternate personality. The bad news may be that this gives Jim Carrey twice as much to do; the good news is that it has Renee Zellweger and Anthony Anderson in one of his very first roles.

"MASH," 5 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.; also, "Memories of MASH" at 7 p.m., all on TV Land. Monday will mark the 35th anniversary of this show's debut on CBS. In the years that followed, "MASH" showed a rare ability to juggle comedy and drama. Here's a mini-marathon that will continue in prime time Sunday and Monday.

"2007 Creative Arts Awards," 8 p.m., E! Here's an Emmy award ceremony for categories that won't make it live onto the big show, Sunday on Fox.

"Cheetah Girls II" (2006), 9 p.m., Disney Channel. The original "Cheetah Girls" film was overblown and unappealing. This one switched to director Kenny Ortega ("High School Musical"). It added a better script and an appealing, Barcelona backdrop.

"Medium," 9 p.m., NBC. Alison continues to worry about whether the right man (Jason Priestley) has been charged with murder. She's not sure if she should tell Debra (Neve Campbell) about her vision. Meanwhile, her husband still feels the aftershocks of the office hostage situation.

"Saturday Night Live," 10:30 p.m., NBC. Molly Shannon hosts with Linkin Park as musical guests.
